What is microfiber? Microfiber is exactly what its name implies. It’s a small synthetic fiber usually made of polyester or nylon, but what makes it a great choice for your next sectional sofa?
The microfiber material that covers these sectional sofas is soft. Not only does it feel great on the skin, but it’s lightweight and much stronger than traditional fabrics. It has a silky smooth feel that makes it a great addition to any piece of furniture. Once you sit on one and rub your hands along the arms, you’ll know exactly what I mean.
Now that you know what it is, you may be wondering, “Why would I want a microfiber sectional sofa?” The benefits of this wonderful fabric are enormous. Microfiber sectionals are more durable. Children can be brutal with furniture. They love to jump on it, climb on it and sit in the weirdest positions. The microfiber material can take abuse better than regular fabrics.
Microfiber sectional sofas are easier to clean. That alone is a huge plus. Nobody wants a stained sofa and let’s face it, accidents happen. Everyone spills something from time to time. The tightly woven microfiber resists water and other liquids, making it extremely easy to clean up any nasty spills if you get to them quickly. It acts as a barrier and the liquid will collect allowing for easy cleaning.
What about pets? Dogs and cats love to climb on your furniture as soon as you leave the house, at least mine. Again, those tightly woven materials prevent pet hair from getting into the fabric.
