Polyester Ottoman Fabric

What Is Polyester Ottoman Fabric?

Polyester Ottoman Fabric is a tightly woven textile characterized by its distinctive ribbed or corded texture running in the horizontal direction. The surface feels structured and dimensional, giving it a rich visual appeal while still being incredibly practical. 

Made from strong polyester fibers, this fabric resists wrinkles, maintains shape, and offers exceptional durability. This makes it a go-to choice for everything from ottoman upholstery fabric to high-end outerwear and statement garments.

What Does Ottoman Fabric Feel Like?

Ottoman fabric has a distinctive feel—firm and slightly coarse with raised horizontal ribs. While it's not soft like fleece or velvet, its tactile surface is appealing and substantial. When used in upholstery, it brings structure and weight. In fashion, it gives garments a crisp, tailored look. Despite its firmness, it can still drape in a controlled way when cut on the bias or layered with softer linings.

Care Instructions for Polyester Ottoman

Most polyester ottoman fabrics are low-maintenance. For upholstery, spot cleaning with a mild detergent and damp cloth is often enough. If your project allows, hand washing or a delicate cycle in cold water can work for smaller items. Always air dry or tumble dry on low to prevent heat damage. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, and store fabric rolled or flat to avoid creasing that can be difficult to remove from textured surfaces.
