Upholstery isn't just about looks—it directly impacts the durability, maintenance, and comfort of your office furniture. Whether you're buying new chairs or refurbishing old ones, knowing the differences in materials can save you time, money, and hassle.
1. Leatherette (PU or PVC)
Pros: Affordable, easy to clean, water-resistant, modern appearance.
Cons: Can peel over time with wear, not very breathable in hot environments.
2. Fabric Upholstery
Pros: Comfortable, breathable, available in various textures and patterns.
Cons: Absorbs stains and dust more easily, needs regular cleaning.
3. Mesh Material
Pros: Highly breathable, great for long sitting hours, modern ergonomic appeal.
Cons: Limited cushioning, not ideal for sofa-type seating, can tear if mishandled.
4. Genuine Leather
Pros: Luxurious look and feel, very durable when properly maintained.
Cons: Expensive, requires conditioning, not ideal for humid climates.
5. Velvet & Suede
Pros: Plush appearance, premium comfort, stylish for lounge areas.
Cons: Easily stained, attracts dust, requires professional cleaning.
💡 Bright Cleaning Tip:
Choose upholstery based on the location of the furniture (e.g. reception, workstation, lounge), expected usage, climate conditions, and cleaning convenience. For high-traffic zones, we recommend durable fabric or mesh. For prestige zones like cabins or visitor lounges, leatherette or velvet works well.
