Velvet and velveteen used for upholstery require significantly higher density and strength than their curtain counterparts. They feature a short, thick pile surface that provides a soft, dimensional aesthetic. The material must be heavily backed—typically with a compound glue layer or a non-woven textile—to prevent the pile from pulling out, increase tear strength, and ensure dimensional stability when pulled taut over furniture frames.

Structural Elegance for Seating

Velvet upholstery is synonymous with luxury, offering a depth of color and a soft, tactile experience unmatched by flat weaves. Our upholstery collection ensures this luxurious aesthetic is paired with the robust performance required for daily seating use in modern interiors.

SUZHOU YIFAN TEXTILE CO., LTD. focuses on polyester and viscose blends for upholstery velvet, offering the best balance of plushness and durability. Our specialized backing line is optimized to apply the necessary stabilizing layer without compromising the front-side hand-feel, providing furniture manufacturers in the US and Europe with a high-end, reliable velvet source.

High-End Seating and Furnishings

  • Formal Sofas and Club Chairs: High-end seating where the fabric is the primary focus of luxury and comfort.

  • Decorative Headboards: Panels and trims requiring a soft, sound-dampening surface.

  • Ottomans and Benches: Accent furniture pieces that benefit from the rich texture and color depth.

  • Contract/Hospitality (Treated): Bar seating or booth upholstery where performance is enhanced with FR and stain-repellent finishes.

Tactile Quality and Durability

  • Enhanced Backing: The specialized backing provides exceptional dimensional stability, crucial for preventing the fabric from stretching or warping during the tailoring process.

  • Deep, Iridescent Color: The pile surface creates a subtle sheen that reflects light differently, resulting in a rich, non-flat color that shifts with the viewing angle.

  • Soft Hand-Feel: The material provides a distinct, warm, and plush texture, highly desirable for comfort-focused seating.

  • Sound Absorption: The dense pile layer contributes to acoustic damping, creating a quieter, more intimate space.

Common Buyer Inquiries

  • Q: How do I minimize the appearance of crushing marks (pooling) on velvet?

  • A: Pooling is inherent to pile fabrics. To minimize it, recommend using a short-pile velvet or a high-density, back-coated product. Light steaming or brushing can often restore the pile direction.

  • Q: Is it suitable for high-traffic public areas?

  • A: We offer specialized contract-grade polyester velvets (often called performance velvets) that meet 50,000+ double rubs and accept commercial-grade stain and FR treatments for public use.

  • Q: Why is a backing necessary for upholstery velvet?

  • A: Backing locks the pile yarns in place, prevents fraying when cut, and significantly increases the fabric's tensile strength, which is vital for pulling the fabric tight over furniture.

Guide to Material Specification

Upholstery velvet should be specified by performance metrics:

  • Abrasion: Require a minimum of 30,000 double rubs for heavy residential use; 50,000+ for contract.

  • Fiber Type: Polyester provides the best durability and colorfastness; Viscose/Rayon offers the highest sheen but is less resilient to water-based stains.

  • Pile Direction: Must be marked clearly on the roll to ensure all cut pieces are oriented correctly, maintaining uniform color/shading.
