That Sofa Fabric You Picked? Trash. Here’s What You Should’ve Chosen Instead

Step 1: Stop Picking Fabrics Like You’re Styling a Photoshoot

Most fabric choices are made for looks. Not for living.

You want your sofa to match your life. Your actual life.

Not the Pinterest board.
Not the showroom fantasy.
Your life with people, pets, after-hours drinks, Sunday recoveries, and Monday resets.

This is your Dorsa-certified sofa fabric guide — no sugarcoating.

Got Pets? You Need Performance Bouclé or Get Wrecked

Look, we love your dog. But your dog is chaos.

Claws. Hair. Drool. That post-walk dirt energy.

Best fabric for pets? Hands down:
👉 Performance Bouclé
👉 Stain-resistant Microfibres
👉 Tight-weave heavy linens

These fabrics are:

• Scratch-resistant

• Easy to spot clean

• Designed to look good even with a bit of mess

At Dorsa, our bouclé is not that fluffy knockoff you see in cheap stores. It’s real, structured, and made for impact — not just softness.

Red Wine Lives Here? You Need Stain-Resistant Couch Tech

If your place is the pre-drinks spot, you need backup.

Most people think white couches are a death wish. But not when you’ve got stain-resistant fabrics.

Look for:

• Teflon-treated linen blends

• Crypton performance fabric

• High-end poly-cotton micro weaves

Dorsa’s curated selection? Built-in stain guards + tight fibers that don’t absorb chaos.

Even if your mate dumps a shiraz during a heated Uno game — you’re sweet.

Want Luxe Without Babysitting It? Go With Textured Neutrals

This is for the young, rich, low-maintenance kings and queens.

You want the luxe aesthetic, without the constant paranoia.
You want to look rich, not worry rich.

Go for:

• Stonewashed neutral canvas

• Mid-tone greys or oatmeals

• Heavy weaves with layered fibres

These fabrics hide life — and still scream money.

This is how you furnish smart. Not scared.

What to Avoid (Unless You Love Pain)

These fabrics are basically scams for most lifestyles:

❌ Silk or satin blends — instant regret with pets or wine
❌ Velvet — beautiful, but attracts dust, marks, and drama
❌ Cheap bouclé — pills in a month, looks like a shag rug by summer
❌ Open-weave linens — gorgeous but trap everything

If you absolutely need a delicate fabric, put it on a chair you never sit in. Don’t ruin your lounge for the ‘gram.

Our Fabric Rule? Flexibility > Fragility

You shouldn’t need a warning label on your own couch.
And you shouldn’t be dry-cleaning after every Sunday sesh.

Your sofa should work for you. Not the other way around.

At Dorsa, we obsess over this sh*t. That’s why every fabric in our range is:

✅ Pre-treated for stains
✅ Pet-aware
✅ Looks expensive (because it is)
✅ Actually lasts

And if it ever slips? Dorsa Maxi has you covered — lifetime cleaning, on the house.

Choose Your Fabric Like You Choose Your Circle

Strong. Loyal. Unshakeable under pressure.
