Choosing the right fabric for your furniture is an important part of refreshing your interior. A common question we receive from our customers is: "How many meters of fabric do I need for my sofa, chair or armchair?" In this blog we would like to help you make the correct calculation. We have created an overview for each type of furniture, complete with photos, so you can see exactly how much fabric you need.
Why is it important to know the correct amount of substance?
Before you order fabric, it is good to know that not every piece of furniture is completely upholstered with the same fabric. For example, the underside of sofas is often finished with fibertex instead of the same furniture fabric. This can affect the total amount of fabric you need. That is why it is important to know whether your sofa is finished this way or whether you want full upholstery.
How Many Meters of Fabric Do You Need for a Sofa?
For sofas, the amount of fabric required can vary depending on the size, design and number of cushions. Below you will find a general overview:
- 2-seater sofa: Average 12-15 meters of fabric
- 3-seater sofa: Average 15-18 meters of fabric
- Corner sofa: Average 18-25 meters of fabric, depending on dimensions

- Armchair: Average 6-8 meters of fabric
