Choose Upholstery Fabrics @ La Costa Upholstery

I talked about thread count, now I tell about fiber content. One of the things that make upholstery fabrics different the thread count, an other part of the fabric is what the fabric is made of. Fiber content can make fabric soft or rough, it can made colors bright of muted and it be the difference in how long a fabric with last.

Fabrics with rayon ( i know you hate it clothing) but it's great in upholstery fabric. It is very durable, the dyes in rayon are brighter and have better separation between colors. Cottons also have dye brighter and have good color separation and can be durable. Fibers that have tighter spun threads are not going to fray or pell and start looking worn and tired after a short time. The lower prices fabrics look old and worn where fabrics with better fiber contents look better and last longer and that makes them a better value. You get what you pay for and in the world of furniture.

Upholstery Fabrics Are Not All Made the Same

If you have gone shopping for upholstery fabrics and asked yourself why are some fabrics $50 per yard and others $19.95 per yard? How can the outlet stores sell fabric for $19.95 and what looks like the same fabric sell for $39.95 at an upholstery shop? Well not all fabrics are made the same, many companies make different grades of fabrics in the same patterns. This companies make lower grade fabric just for the outlet market . The difference is the fiber content, the thread count and the weight of the fabric. What looks like the same fabric may be very different the $19.00 fabric well have a much lower thread count, just like bed sheets the higher the thread count the better the fabric will wear.Next I talk about content.

La Costa Upholstery Asks Why is New Furniture so Cheap?

You may have a sofa that you are thinking of having reupholstered,but then see a ad on TV for "Jerry's" Furniture in San Diego for a new sofa for $499. Well that is so cheap it's doesn't pay to have your old sofa recovered, but wait. How can Jerry sell a sofa that was made in China shipped across the ocean, put on a truck, stored in a where house, then pay to advertise it on TV and still make a profit on the $499 sofa.

It's simple, the sofa is junk. They use the lowest grade foam that may last a year and then needs to be replaced. The frames may be made of plywood that is stapled together and will become loose when you use it. And the fabrics are of the lowest grade that will split and fray and look old in a very short time. So then the sofa ends up in the landfill and you go out a but an other piece of junk.

Now here's what to do, reupholster that well built sofa you already have with a good quality fabric that will last for years. You have a frame that is built to last for years and if the foam cushions need to be replaced, we'll do that with foam that holds it's shape.

So save your money, save the environment and get that furniture reupholstered by La Costa Upholstery.
