If you’re a design aficionado (or just, you know, have Instagram…) you’ll know that boucle is the material of the moment. Plush, cosy and chic, we love the visual appeal of boucle, which has a woollen, almost ‘bobbly’ look and feel.
Boucle fabric is a type of yarn that is a common upholstery fabric used for furniture, mostly the white and cream furniture. With using polyester yarn of 1.11dtex-0.58dtex as raw material, 83~333dtex polyester low-elastic network yarn of 83 - 333dtex as base yarn, boucle fabric is woven on a weft knitting machine, finally made through a series of post-treatment including heat setting, polyester dyeing or printing, dyeing and carding, fleece knitting, and heat setting.
Since boucle fabric adds superior softness to sofa, and has a modern look and cozy texture that bring a sense of contemporary to most interior areas like living room, bedroom, hotel room, etc.
This boucle sofa comes assembled and can be made into different size and colors according to clients' requirements.
Boucle is the perfect fabric choice for a sofa, ottoman or chair – but as all of us with pets or kids know, these can be some of the messiest, highest traffic spots in the home. So, it’s important that you know all about caring for and cleaning your boucle chair before you add this gorgeous weave to your interiors repertoire. We spoke to the experts, our Brosa stylists, to get their top tips for boucle owners – here’s what they had to offer.
A step-by-step guide to cleaning sofa fabric
The concept of cleaning the sofa is daunting in itself, even if you’ve done it a million times. Sofas are delicate, and frankly, expensive, so the potential for getting things wrong can feel quite scary. With the right tools and advice at your disposal, though, giving your couch a good clean is quick, easy and stress-free. Follow these steps for a sparkling clean every time…

Understanding your fabric
Knowledge is power, so it’s always best to start off with a thorough understanding of the material you’re dealing with, and what it does and doesn’t like or tolerate. Boucle is a mix of wool and nylon that is typified by small loops of fabric that create that bobbly, fuzzy texture. It’s highly durable and doesn’t tend to pill like a lot of other fabrics, making it an ideal choice for your seating, as well as other furniture items, clothing like jackets, and homewares such as throw pillows. Because it’s a blend of a synthetic fabric (nylon) and a slightly more delicate, natural fibre (wool), boucle lands somewhere in the middle of the maintenance spectrum – as long as you keep it in good condition, it won’t show lots of wear and tear, and spot cleaning should be relatively easy.
