When it is time to select a new ottoman or pouf, do too many material choices frustrate you? Just like there are numerous styles of ottomans and poufs, there is a vast selection of covering materials as well.
As we have addressed in our previous blogs, the commonly used materials at Housetex include but not limited to cotton, leather, faux leather, and wool yarn. Further, various types of fabric are also popular choices in covering ottomans today, such as suede, velvet, and corduroy.
What is Suede Fabric?
Traditional suede is the inner part of an animal hide, thus it usually refers to the underside of animal skin with the flesh side rubbed to make a velvety nap. However, the majority of the suede fabrics that we discuss today are crafted of different fibers, such as cotton and polyester. The fibers are woven and stitched in such a way that they create the same feeling as traditional suede leather. As such forms of suede are not made from animal hide, they are referred to as faux or synthetic suede. Faux or synthetic suede fabrics are incredibly soft to touch and more comfortable against the skin but are much more durable and more affordable than traditional suede. It is right the reason why Housetex uses such synthetic material with a napped surface in our ottoman upholstery.
If you are looking for a super soft upholstered ottoman or pouf, this is an excellent choice. Look at the Round Pouf Ottoman Using Suede Fabric and with Rolled Edge and Handcrafted Creasing Design. It is the perfect blend of luxury and high performance. The material has an extremely smooth, buttery feeling, yet it is super durable and easy to care for. If you touch the suede pouf surface, you will be marveled at the softness and beauty of the material. Suede fabric or we also call it faux or synthetic suede, is surely the first option on our list of the best nice-to-touch fabrics. Come and add some flair to your home collection with our curated selection of suede ottomans and poufs.
What is Velvet?
Velvet is a closely woven fabric, containing a combination of silk, cotton, nylon, acetate, or rayon, etc., sometimes having a cotton backing, with a thick, soft, and usually lustrous pile formed of loops of the warp thread. The thick weave gives the material a distinct, soft feel. As velvet is woven with two different thicknesses of fabric, it provides more depth and dimension if compared to other upholstery materials. We consider it a soft and versatile material perfect for ottomans and poufs, especially for creating luxuriously upholstered accents.
Ottomans using velvet fabric have a nice sheen and are often very soft and comfortable. For instance, check out the Round Velvet Storage Ottoman with Quilted Stripe Design and a Handy Removable Top at Housetex. This pink-colored round velvet ottoman is an interesting and comfortable decoration, with a quilted stripe design on the rounded sides and all covered with exquisite material. A true beauty – this ottoman sports the extra storage option with a handy removable top, but that is not what makes it stand out from the crowd. It is thanks to its charming pink velvet upholstery that oozes elegance and charm beyond measure that it becomes a truly beautiful addition to the decor. We believe sometimes it is able to change the mood of a space by changing the accent ottoman. This piece will surely freshen up and brighten any space.
What is Corduroy?
Corduroy is a ridged fabric, usually cotton, made up of pile-cut yarn that has been woven and cut into cords or wales. These tufted cords give the textile a fuzzy hand-feel that is perfect for a nice touch and brings warmth and coziness.
Housetex uses fine corduroy in covering round storage ottomans to enhance more comfort. If you are looking for the most comfortable seat in the world, you need to get this Round Storage Ottoman Using Fine Corduroy and with a Removable Top. It has a pleasant texture and comes in a funky, vibrant green color.
