Transform your furniture and interiors with our Premium Faux Suede Upholstery Fabric. This fabric perfectly mimics the soft, brushed texture of genuine suede but is made from 100% Polyester, making it far more durable, stain-resistant, and easier to clean.

Don’t let the soft touch fool you—this is a powerhouse fabric. With an impressive 45,000 Martindale Rub Test rating, it is classified as Heavy Duty, making it tough enough for main living room sofas, dining chairs, and high-traffic areas.

Why This is the Best Faux Suede for Upholstery

Commercial Grade Durability: A rating of 45,000 rubs means this fabric can withstand years of daily use without wearing down (Standard domestic fabric is usually only 20,000).
Wide Width: At 150cm (60 inches) wide, it is perfect for recovering large furniture pieces with fewer seams.
The “Nap” Effect: Just like real suede, this fabric has a directional pile (nap). When you brush it with your hand, it changes shade slightly, giving that authentic, luxurious two-tone look.
Family Friendly: Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified, ensuring it is free from harmful chemicals.

Ideal Uses

Upholstery: Sofas, armchairs, headboards, and dining seats.
Soft Furnishings: Heavy curtains (drapes beautifully), cushion covers, and bean bags.
Apparel: Structured jackets, waistcoats, and costumes requiring a suede look.
Car Interiors: Excellent for van conversions, campervan seating, and headliners.

Expert Sewing Tips for Faux Suede

Mind the Nap: Faux suede has a direction! Before cutting, brush the fabric to see which way the fibers lay smooth. Ensure all your pattern pieces face the same direction so your finished sofa or curtain doesn’t look like it has two different shades.
Needle Choice: Use a Universal 90/14 or a Microtex needle. The fabric is dense, so a sharp needle prevents skipped stitches.
Ironing: Use a Cool Iron only. Polyester melts under high heat. We recommend ironing on the reverse side or using a pressing cloth.
