Sofa Shopping for Moms: Finding the Perfect Fabric for Your Crazy Crew

Okay, moms, let's talk about finding the perfect sofas for your families. We're talking about the centerpiece of your living room, where all the action goes down – from messy snack time & family movie nights to epic pillow fights! 


So, how do we find a sofa that can handle our chaotic kiddos & fur bffs and still look fabulous? Well, it's all about the fabric, my friends! Choosing the right fabric for your sofa is crucial, especially if you have kids and pets. You want a comfortable and durable fabric that can withstand spills, stains, and the occasional pet hairball. With so many options available, deciding which fabric is the best fit for your lifestyle can be overwhelming. To help you narrow your choices, I’ve compiled a list of the top 5 sofa fabrics that stand up to kids and pets, all available at WhatARoom.com


Here are my top picks: 

1. DYNAMITE: Performance Chenille that’s Durable and Easy to Clean

Dynamite is a popular choice for a reason. This fabric is both stain and water-resistant, making it a lifesaver for busy families. It's also surprisingly easy to clean, perfect for those inevitable messes. We even did a spill test on them and it’s crazy how the liquids just roll right off the fabrics, barely absorbing into it! 

2. MARQUIS: Performance Velvet where Softness Meets Durability

This luxurious fabric is 100% polyester, offering the softness you crave with the stain and water resistance you need in a pet-friendly home. Marquis is a great option if you want a sofa that feels as good as it looks. Love how soft the velvet feels and it gives me peace of mind knowing it can withstand any mess & stain from my crazy family!

3. BELLA: Performance Velvet meets The Ultimate in Durability

Bella Soft Performance Velvet is another fantastic option for pet owners. This 100% polyester fabric is not only stain and water-resistant but also highly durable, making it a great choice for high-traffic areas. Can't decide between Marquis and Bella?

4. AMICI: Soft Texture Velvet that’s Easy Care and Pet-Friendly

Amici offers a luxurious feel that's also practical. This 100% polyester fabric is pet-friendly, easy to clean, and highly durable. Amici is a great choice for families who want a sofa that looks good and is easy to maintain. The bold green color is gorgeous & the perfect color to make a statement all year long!

Bonus Tips:

  • Consider a light or neutral color with some texture. This will help to hide stains and spills.
  • Choose a fabric with a tight weave. This will make it more resistant to stains and pet hair.
  • Look for a fabric that is treated with a stain repellent. This will help to protect your sofa from spills and stains.
  • Vacuum your sofa regularly. This will help to remove pet hair and other debris.
  • Spot clean spills as soon as they occur. This will help to prevent stains from setting

By following these tips, you can help to keep your sofa looking its best for years to come!
