  1. Linen fabric is very strong and extremely durable.  Furniture covered with linen will not show signs of wear for a long time.
  2. Upholstery linen fabric is naturally antistatic. Man-made fabrics are known for being dust magnets, but making  linen sofa or chair covers means more comfort and less care – you only need to brush or vacuum  occasionally.
  3. Linen fabric resists stains easily, making it easier to maintain the fabric's original, beautiful appearance. If more serious stains do appear, simply spot clean them with water or glycerin. It is also possible to machine wash or dry clean your linen upholstery if the covers are removable.linen upholstery fabric
  4. Linen fabric has a luxurious look which enhances your home's interior decor.
  5. And last but not least, linen upholstery fabric is the most sustainable fabric to use to cover furniture. Synthetic fabrics are made from petroleum products through a process that is harmful for the environment. Cotton, although a natural product, uses  large amounts of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides which  pollute underground waters, rivers and lakes, and harm bees and other pollinators. Linen fabric is produced from the flax plant, which requires much less intensive farming and  fewer fertilizers than cotton. It also requires far less processing to create fabrics, and lasts for longer, making it a brilliant choice if you want a sustainable fabric for your furniture.
