Frequently asked questions

Is suede upholstery fabric durable enough for a sofa?

Yes. DEN Suede exceeds 30,000 Martindale and has a very high tensile strength (up to 1509 N) and good tear resistance. The pilling grade is 4, meaning the fabric is resistant to pilling. For a sofa or chair that is used every day, that is an excellent foundation.

What is the difference between suede upholstery fabric and genuine suede?

Suede furniture fabric is textile; genuine suede is leather. DEN Suede is 100% polyester with a soft suede feel and a leather look. This makes the fabric easier to maintain and less sensitive to moisture than genuine suede leather. Always test a cleaning agent on a scrap piece first.

Why does suede look like a different color from different angles?

That is due to the soft grain: the color differs subtly depending on the direction of the nap. Therefore, cut all parts of your furniture in the same direction to achieve a uniform result. Pay particular attention to this if you are building a sofa or armchair from multiple parts. This prevents a seat or backrest from appearing lighter or darker than the rest.

How do I clean suede upholstery and keep it looking good?

Vacuum regularly using a soft brush attachment. Blot stains immediately with a dry, white cloth, without rubbing. Afterward, brush the nap in one direction and always test cleaning agents on a swatch first. This will help the fabric stay looking beautiful and uniform in color for longer.

How much suede fabric do I need for a chair or armchair?

On average, you need 1.5 to 2 metres for a dining chair without armrests and 6 to 8 metres for an armchair. For suede, take the grain direction into account. Send your measurements via WhatsApp, and we will calculate it for you. DEN Suede is approximately 140 cm wide (usable) and weighs about 370 g/m². Please ask for advice for a sofa.

This allows you to feel the soft suede touch and see the color in your own interior.
