Fabric sample Miscanto Sand Melange (MISCANTO 10)

The most commonly used upholstery fabrics are woven fabrics, velours and chenilles. Woven fabrics have a durable, clearly visible weave, velours are soft and plush, while chenilles stand out for their thicker, pleasantly soft texture.

Exceptionally durable upholstery fabrics include dense woven fabrics and synthetic chenilles made from materials such as polyester and polyamide. Their resistance to wear comes from their compact structure, additional protective finishes and a high Martindale test result, often 50,000–100,000 cycles.

When choosing an upholstery fabric, the main thing to consider is how the furniture will be used. In homes with children or pets, velours and flock fabrics with a water-repellent finish work well, as they are easier to clean. Woven fabrics are valued for their durability, while bouclé is prized for its distinctive looped texture. It is also worth looking at abrasion resistance, water repellency and the Pet Friendly label.

Current upholstery fabric trends include bouclé, velour, velvet, corduroy and nubuck-effect fabrics. Materials with a soft, three-dimensional texture that give a room a warm feel are very popular. Recycled fabrics and finishes that make the material easier to keep clean are also becoming increasingly important.

Velour has a smooth, elegant and slightly lustrous surface, but it can show marks from touch. Chenille has a softer, plusher structure, creates a cosy effect and better disguises signs of everyday use. Velour suits more elegant interiors, while chenille works where comfort and practicality matter.

There is no single sofa material that is ideal for everyone, as the choice depends on everyday needs and how intensively the sofa is used. Dense woven fabrics, water-repellent velours, genuine leather and fabrics designed to be more resistant to claws and snagging stand out for their high durability.

Chenille is a soft, plush and hard-wearing fabric whose name comes from the French word *chenille*. Its characteristic structure is created by fluffy yarns with fine fibres, which makes the material very pleasant to the touch and gives it an elegant look with a subtle sheen.

When choosing a sofa, check its size, how well it fits the room, the seating comfort and the filling used. A sturdy frame, a sleeping function or storage compartment, and practical upholstery that is easy to keep clean are also important.

Fabrics weighing around 300–500 g/m² are a good choice for sofa upholstery, combining suitable thickness with durability. When assessing fabric quality, however, it is also worth taking into account the density of the weave and its abrasion resistance.

Chenille requires gentle cleaning and regular vacuuming with a soft brush attachment. Fresh stains are best removed quickly with a slightly damp, light-coloured cloth, without rubbing hard. You should also avoid soaking the fabric and using harsh bleaching agents.

The most fashionable sofa colours at the moment are mainly warm, natural shades such as beige, sand, greige and off-white. Stronger colours are also popular, especially bottle green, sage, olive and deep navy.

Chenille is widely used in upholstery and home textiles thanks to its softness, plushness and high durability. The name comes from French and refers to the characteristic fuzzy yarn that resembles a caterpillar.

Miscanto Piaskowy Melanż is the variant designated MISCANTO 10. Its name points to a sandy, mélange tone, so the sample is ideal for judging the true shade before choosing your upholstery. It is worth looking at it in both daylight and artificial light, as lighting can affect how the colour is perceived.

Miscanto is a chenille fabric, with a more noticeable surface texture than classic smooth materials. This structure gives upholstery a soft, decorative character, and a sample is the best way to check its look and texture in person.

The designation 100% PES means the material is made entirely of polyester fibres. With upholstery fabric, the composition is best considered together with its performance characteristics. Miscanto achieves 70,000 abrasion resistance cycles and a pilling test result of 4-5, which gives a fuller picture of how durable the material is in use.

Miscanto weighs 430 g/m² with a tolerance of ±5%. This figure indicates the mass of one square metre of fabric and helps when comparing fabrics of different construction. Combined with the chenille structure, it shows that Miscanto has a distinct, substantial feel typical of upholstery fabrics.

The fabric achieves 70,000 cycles in the abrasion resistance test. This is an important result when choosing a material for furniture in regular use, as it shows how well the surface resists the repeated friction of sitting and everyday use of the upholstery.

Pilling resistance has been rated at 4-5. This means very good resistance to the small bobbles and fuzz that can form on the surface of the fabric with frequent use of the furniture.

In the colour fastness to rubbing test, the fabric scored 4-5 dry and 5 wet. These are very good values, indicating that the colour holds up well to contact and rubbing.

Light fastness is rated 5. This is a very good result on the scale used to assess colour durability. At the same time, the look of the sandy mélange can appear different depending on the type of light, so it is worth viewing the sample in your own home before choosing your upholstery.

Miscanto combines a chenille structure with high resistance to everyday use. The material achieves 70,000 abrasion cycles, a 4-5 pilling resistance rating, very good colour fastness to rubbing and a light fastness rating of 5. This combination of parameters helps you assess the fabric not only by its looks but also by its durability.

Yes. Miscanto has flame-retardant properties. This is an additional feature worth considering when comparing different upholstery fabrics, especially when performance matters as well as appearance.
