Fabric Sofas

Bring colour, texture and a softer finish to your living room with fabric sofas from Heavenly Beds in Cheltenham, serving Gloucestershire with UK-wide delivery.

Explore velvet, linen, chenille and boucle options across different sofa shapes, from a compact arrangement to a generous corner design. Whether you prefer an understated neutral or a richer accent colour, upholstery gives you plenty of scope to create a room that feels personal and welcoming.

Look closely at the fabric's texture, composition and care guidance alongside the seat depth and cushion feel. Ask about samples to see how a colour works with your walls, flooring and natural light before deciding. Our Cheltenham team can help you compare the available finishes and coordinating pieces, so you can choose a fabric sofa for the way your household lives as well as the look you love.
BUYING GUIDE

Fabric against leather effect

Fabric is warmer in winter, does not stick to skin in summer, and absorbs sound rather than reflecting it, which makes a room feel softer.

Leather effect wipes clean in a second, which fabric does not. With small children or a dog, that difference decides it for a lot of people.

If you want the fabric look with easier cleaning, look at the tighter weaves rather than velvet or boucle.

Explore velvet, linen, chenille and boucle sofas

Velvet looks the richest and photographs the best. Shows marks and pressure lines more than the others, and needs an occasional brush.

Linen is relaxed and forgiving of daily use. Slightly textured, less formal, ages well.

Chenille brings a soft, textured finish. Compare the specific fabric's durability information and cleaning instructions rather than assuming every chenille is suited to the same use.

Boucle is heavily textured and very tactile, and hides marks better than velvet. Catches on claws, so worth thinking about with a cat.

Order swatches

Colour on a screen is a guess, and a sofa is a bigger commitment than a cushion. We will post you swatches free, and it is the single best thing you can do before ordering upholstery online.

Living with it

Follow the upholstery care instructions supplied with your sofa. Only turn cushions or remove covers where the design allows it, and check the approved cleaning method before treating a spill or applying a product.

FAQ

Questions we get asked most

Open seven days.01452 260206
Which fabric is best with children or pets?

Compare the specific upholstery's cleaning instructions, weave and available durability information rather than relying on its fabric name alone. Think about spills, pet claws and how often the sofa will be used. Ask for samples and details of any tested stain-resistant finish; no upholstery should be assumed completely pet-proof or stain-proof.

Can I see fabric samples before choosing my sofa?

Contact Heavenly Beds in Cheltenham to check sample availability and any delivery arrangements for your shortlisted fabrics. View samples beside your curtains and flooring at different times of day. This helps you compare colour and texture, while a showroom visit can help you judge the separate question of seat comfort.

Are fabric sofa covers removable and washable?

Removable covers are a feature of some designs, but removable does not necessarily mean machine-washable. Check the care label and manufacturer's instructions for each cover before taking it off or treating a spill. Use only the approved cleaning method to help preserve the fit, colour and finish of the upholstery.

How can I check a fabric sofa's fire-safety specification?

Ask for the supplier's documentation covering the exact sofa and upholstery combination, not just the fabric in isolation. Tell us the intended setting and any required specification before ordering. For accommodation or commercial projects, provide your assessor's requirements so the proposed product and available paperwork can be checked before the order is confirmed.
