Polyester Sofa Pros And Cons

When selecting a sofa for your home, you have many options to choose from. If you're looking for the best polyester sofa, you've arrived at the right place. Here is a list of polyester sofa pros and cons if you’re considering purchasing a fabric sofa of this type.

What is polyester and how is it made?

Fabric for polyester sofas is produced from synthetic fibres and is made from plastic. It's used in many different products, including clothing and upholstery. The fabric can be dyed in many different colours to match any decorating scheme.

Since it is resistant to water, doesn't fade in the sun and has a long track record of durability, it is a popular option for both indoor and outdoor furniture upholstery. Polyester is often the best sofa fabric if you have children and pets because of its stain-resistant qualities.

Polyester sofa pros

Water-resistant

If you're looking for a fabric that is resistant to water and other liquids, polyester is a great choice for your sofas. The tight weave of polyester makes it highly resistant to water, so you don't have to worry about accidental spills on your fabric sofas.

Low maintenance

Polyester fabric sofas can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth or vacuumed off with the proper attachments. This is especially helpful if you have kids or pets who love to get messy!

Pet-friendly

Polyester is also extremely durable and resistant to wear and tear such as claw marks and scratches from your pets. The Soleado Sofa by Gamma & Dandy offers your home a nice touch of regalness due to its upholstery design with a tufted effect. It’s available in customisable colours and sizes as well.

Polyester sofa cons

Not as breathable

It does not breathe well. Because of this, we recommend this option if you have air conditioning in your house so that the sofa does not get too hot when sitting on it for long periods of time.

Static charge

When you move around while sitting on polyester fabric sofas, they accumulate a static charge. As a result of this, you may get the occasional shock from time to time. You can avoid this by adding a nice throw blanket to reduce friction.

How to care for a polyester sofa

Polyester fabric sofas are one of the most popular fabrics for sofa upholstery. Here's how to keep your polyester sofa in top condition:

• 1. Vacuum and dry brush any loose dust.
• 2. Clean your polyester couch from top to bottom with a moist sponge. Keep the material from becoming too saturated, and frequently rinse and wring out your sponge in clean water as you continue.
• 3. We also recommend that you contact the manufacturers of your sofa for their guidelines on how to clean it. It's always best to follow the instructions they give you, so as not to risk staining or damaging your sofa.

If you’re looking for a couch that won’t trigger allergies and other respiratory issues, polyester is the way to go. There's less risk of developing allergies to the material because it has a tighter weave that lessens dust build-up within its strands over time. This means fewer sneezes, skin reactions, and breathing problems over time when choosing this option.
