FAQs on Fabric Armchairs

What should I look for when buying a fabric armchair?

Prioritise seat depth (typically 50–60cm for comfort), foam density (high-resilience foam lasts longer), fabric weight (look for 12oz+ upholstery-grade fabric), and leg material. Check weight capacity and whether seams are hand-stitched. Measure your doorways and hallways before ordering to ensure delivery is feasible.

How do I measure my space for a fabric armchair?

Measure the width, depth, and height of your intended space in centimetres. Standard armchairs are 80–90cm wide and 85–95cm deep. Allow 10–15cm clearance from walls for comfort. Measure doorway widths and hallway turns during delivery. Use a cardboard template if unsure about fit.

Whats the difference between fabric and leather armchairs?

Fabric armchairs offer more colour and texture options and are typically warmer to sit on; leather requires less maintenance but costs more and feels cooler initially. Fabric is better for homes with children or pets needing frequent cleaning. Leather develops a patina over time and suits traditional interiors.

Are fabric armchairs good for small living rooms?

Yes, fabric armchairs work well in compact spaces—look for streamlined designs without bulky armrests. Choose light neutral colours to visually expand the room. Avoid over-stuffed styles. Pair with a footstool rather than a separate ottoman. Measure your space carefully to ensure at least 15cm clearance around the chair.

How often should I clean my fabric armchair?

Vacuum weekly to remove dust and debris, paying attention to seams and crevices. Spot-clean spills immediately with mild detergent and cool water. Deep clean every 12–18 months using an upholstery cleaner or hire professional cleaning. Check the manufacturers care label—some fabrics require dry-cleaning only.

What fabric weight should I choose for an armchair that gets heavy use?

Select 12oz–15oz upholstery-grade fabric for daily use. High-resilience foam (density 40kg/m³ or higher) resists sagging. Check if the fabric has Martindale rub count above 15,000—this indicates durability. Performance fabrics with stain resistance are ideal for high-traffic households or homes with children and pets.

Can I put a fabric armchair in a bedroom?

Yes, fabric armchairs work well in bedrooms as reading chairs or accent seating. Choose calming neutral colours or soft tones to match bedroom décor. Ensure adequate space—at least 60cm from the bed foot. Consider a smaller-scale armchair (around 75cm wide) for modest bedrooms to avoid overcrowding.

Do fabric armchairs come with matching footstools at CFS?

Many fabric armchairs at CFS are available with matching footstools or ottomans sold separately. Check the product listing for coordinating or optional footstool options. Matching sets create a cohesive look and typically cost less than purchasing separately. Contact our team to confirm availability for your chosen chair.

Whats the best fabric armchair for a home office?

Choose a supportive armchair with a firmer seat (not too soft) and proper lumbar support for extended sitting. Neutral colours like grey or charcoal suit professional spaces. Ensure the seat height matches your desk (typically 40–45cm). Look for chairs with upright posture rather than deep recline.

Are fabric armchairs worth the investment compared to budget alternatives?

Quality fabric armchairs from reputable brands justify the cost through better durability, comfort, and longevity. Budget alternatives often use lower-density foam that sags within 2–3 years. Premium fabric and solid hardwood frames last 7–10 years. Calculate cost-per-year of use to assess real value.
