Not all cushion cover materials are created equal. Here's how the most common options compare, and why we chose faux leather for our own luxury cushion cover collection.
Faux leather (PU)
Durable, wipe-clean, and water-repellent. No machine washing needed — a damp cloth keeps it looking new. This is what our black 50x50cm covers and other variants use.
Cotton and linen
Breathable and soft, but prone to staining and requires regular washing — higher long-term maintenance than faux leather.
Velvet
Luxurious texture, but attracts pet hair and dust, and can crush or mat over time with regular use.
Why faux leather wins for daily use
For sofas and beds that see real daily wear, faux leather's wipe-clean surface and fade resistance make it the most practical premium option — which is why it's the material behind every cover in our luxury faux leather cushion covers range, alongside our lighting and jewelry collections.
