What is ‘microfiber’ and why a Microfiber Couch?

by futonL on January 31, 2008

Some people have been asking what is ‘microfiber‘? Is this a new material? And what are the applications of microfiber in the home? So here are some basic information about microfiber and how it is used in household items and furniture.

Microfiber is a type of highly woven fiber that is measured by ‘denier’ (which measures the linear mass density of a fiber). A microfiber is only considered a ‘microfiber‘ if the density is less than a denier. The fact that microfiber is less dense than most common fibers manufacturers can create more durable materials, provide softer material, and a more densely packed material.

These qualities can enhance the most common household products. For example, a simple hand cloth will not only last months (and maybe years) after purchase, but can absorb and clean dirt off of tables without scratching the surface.

Some other common applications of microfiber are car washing rags, clothing, and insulation for homes. However, a more common and named application of microfiber is the microfiber couch.

Microfiber couches are enhanced purely by the qualities of the microfiber itself (yet not all the features). A microfiber couch is very durable and can withstand extreme wear and tear conditions. Also, it is very comfortable and has a very soft feeling and touch. The only difference is that most microfiber couches are treated with a water repellent that also reduces the amount of dirt and grime that could find it’s way onto the couch. So, water simply beads off the couch or easily wiped away.

Try out the feel and the comfort of a microfiber couch. It’s quality is outstanding and it will change the way you feel about fabric used in furniture today.
