Where Microfiber Upholstery Came From

This particular form of synthetic fiber has been around for about 60 years. It was first developed in Japan for industrial use. The success of microfiber fabrics caused a spinoff into soft, very easy-care furniture upholstery, unusual among the polyester family for its incredible softness.

Why Get Microfiber Furniture?

For one thing, microfiber furniture is now legendary for its stain-resistant property. For example, there is the bane of every host’s existence, spilled alcoholic drinks. These are a pain to get out of any other kind of fabric upholstery but just bead up on microfiber cloth or microfiber fake leather, easy to wipe off! Your microfiber sofa will keep looking and feeling great for many years, even with minimal maintenance and even after heavy use with many spills. Cleanups will work with everything from a washcloth to a “magic eraser” stain-lifter. The trick is to get to the stain when it’s still beaded up on the cloth’s surface. Many of our microfiber living room furniture buyers come back and swear that NOTHING shows on them! To keep your microfiber looking especially good, give it an occasional vacuuming as usual.

Does Microfiber Upholstery Have Any Disadvantages?

If static bugs you, then microfiber upholstery will not be a good fit in your home. When something rubs against microfiber upholstery, it often leaves a harmless “swirl” mark that bothers some people. Also, if you have pets that shed, some say the microfiber fabric attracts stray hair like a magnet!
