In the Know | Upholstery Guide — Polyester/Suede/Velvet
Polyester is used alone and also as a material to create a number of other fabric types from tweed to felt, suede to velvet. It is a brilliantly versatile option for indoor and outdoor products. It resists stains better than most natural materials and keeps its colour better when exposed to light. Combining the material with other elements can enhance its softness.
