When choosing a durable fabric for your Amish furniture upholstery the first two things you should consider are how often will the furniture be used and who will be using it. Asking these two questions will help you determine how durable the fabric you choose should be. Learn more in this upholstery buying guide.

The durability of upholstery fabric is determined by its double rub count. Fabric with at least a 9,000 doublerub count is suitable for furniture that is not used often. A rub count of at least 15,000 is sufficient for heavy residential use. Less durable fabrics are OK for furniture in low traffic areas. For furniture in high traffic areas like the living room furniture upholstery, kitchen furniture fabric, dining room furniture upholstery, and spaces where the kids love to play and pets like to roam, choose a more durable fabric.
