When shopping for outdoor furniture, you've probably come across items made from "Sunbrella® fabric." But what is Sunbrella fabric, exactly? This guide will break down everything you need to know about this superior performance fabric and why it's the perfect material for your outdoor living needs.

What Is Sunbrella® Fabric?

Sunbrella is a type of performance fabric that is particularly known for its durability and resistance to the elements. It was first introduced in the 1960s as an alternative to cotton for awnings, but has since expanded to include a wide range of products, including outdoor furniture and indoor upholstery.

Why Choose Sunbrella® Fabric?

Sunbrella fabric offers a variety of unique selling features that make it an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor furniture.

Weather-Resistant: Sunbrella fabric is designed to resist fading, even when exposed to the harshest sunlight. It's also resistant to rain and snow, making it a great, stress-free choice for outdoor furniture in any climate.

Stain-Resistant: Sunbrella fabric is treated with a proprietary water- and stain-repellent finish. This makes it easy to clean and maintain, even when faced with tough stains like red wine or chocolate. If you have children or pets, or entertain often, a Sunbrella sofa might be your best living room choice.

Durability: Sunbrella® fabric is made from a high-quality synthetic fiber that is resistant to tearing and abrasion. This means your Sunbrella furniture will last for years, even with heavy use.

Comfort: Despite its durability, Sunbrella fabric is incredibly soft to the touch, making it a comfortable choice for outdoor seating or indoor upholstery.

Eco-Friendly: Sunbrella fabric is made from 100% solution-dyed acrylic fiber, which is dyed before it's spun into yarn. This process uses less water and produces less waste than traditional dyeing methods.

Variety: Sunbrella fabric comes in a wide variety of colors, patterns, and textures, making it easy to find the perfect match for your outdoor or indoor decor. Sunbrella accent pillows make for durable pops of color indoors and outdoors.
