Tested to the highest international standards

While all DFS upholstery fabrics are rigorously tested to ensure their suitability - the RESILIENCE range takes this to the next level. All our RESILIENCE fabrics have passed a higher level of performance tests for strength and durability - tests designed for commercial applications, meaning they exceed the requirements for domestic furniture. A range of physical performance tests, measuring a variety of factors, ensure these fabrics are strong, durable and resistant to tearing and pilling.

Tear strength

This test ensures that the fabric is strong enough for upholstery applications, and will not tear when upholstered into cushions or frame coverings.

Tensile strength

Similar to the tear test, this ensures the strength of the cover is robust enough to withstand weight being forced on it. This test simulates the sofa being sat on over and over again, just like how it would be in your home.

Abrasion resistance

This test is carried out by rubbing the fabric with a slightly abrasive material, to determine whether the rubbing of clothing fabrics against the sofa cover over time will cause a wearing down of fibres, or even thread breakage.

Resistance to pilling

This test is carried out by rubbing a fabric against the sofa material to ensure that the surface doesn’t gain any little balls of loose fibres (pilling), which are unsightly and can make the cover of the sofa look worn out ahead of time.

Super-strong seams

This test determines how strong the sofa’s seams are once sewn into the cushion covers. A weight is placed on the cushion to determine whether the seams are robust enough that they won’t slip or burst open under pressure.

RESILIENCE Fabrics

Faux suede

Looks like leather, feels like velvet. A hard wearing fabric with a brushed, suede-like feel, without the upkeep - with a pattern inspired by natural veining to add an interesting, dappled look. Soft to the touch, budget-friendly and super-practical for busy families.
