Questions about this category

What is DOHA fabric made of?

DOHA is an upholstery fabric made of 100% polyester (PES). It is 145 cm wide and intended for upholstering sofas and other seating furniture.

Is DOHA fabric abrasion-resistant?

Yes, DOHA achieves an abrasion resistance of 100,000 cycles in the Martindale test. This is a very high result, so the fabric copes well with intensive everyday use of furniture.

Is DOHA fabric pet-friendly?

Yes, DOHA is marked as pet-friendly in its specification. Combined with an abrasion resistance of 100,000 cycles, it is a good choice for a home with a dog or cat, although – as with any fabric – it helps to keep claws trimmed.

What is the weight of DOHA fabric?

DOHA fabric weighs 624 g per running metre (at a width of 145 cm). Note that this value is given per running metre rather than per m², and it indicates a substantial, solid material.

Does DOHA fabric fade in the sun?

DOHA has a light fastness rating of 4, which is moderate – it is best not to place the furniture in long-term direct sunlight. Colour fastness to rubbing, both dry and wet, is 4–5, so the dye holds well in the fibres.

What furniture is DOHA fabric suitable for?

With an abrasion resistance of 100,000 cycles, DOHA works well on heavily used furniture: sofas, corner sofas, armchairs and upholstered beds. It is a practical choice for a living room where the furniture is used every day.

How do I clean DOHA fabric?

It is best to vacuum DOHA fabric regularly using a soft brush attachment. Blot stains straight away without rubbing, and remove more stubborn marks with a cloth dampened with a mild soap solution.

What colours does DOHA fabric come in, and can I order samples?

DOHA fabric is available in 14 colours, including Jasny Aksamit, Beżowy Kwarc, Turkusowa Zatoka, Wyblakła Oliwka, Atramentowy Błękit and Nocny Onyks. You can order free DOHA samples from Pillovely to check the colour and texture in your own room before ordering furniture.
