Choosing the perfect bed is a process that usually starts with the firmness of the mattress and the dimensions of the frame. However, what first strikes the eye and determines the touch of the furniture is the fabric. It determines whether the bedroom will become a cozy oasis of calm or a modern, austere apartment. W DAVHON Furniture, as a Polish manufacturer, we know that fabric upholstery must combine two functions: uncompromising aesthetics and durability for everyday use.
Facing the configuration of your dream bed, you will most often encounter two radically different proposals: technical Sawana plaid and luxurious Manila velour. Choosing between the two is not just a matter of color - it's a decision about how you will care for the furniture and how it will react to light or the presence of pets. We've prepared this article so you can make an informed decision that will keep your bed looking like new for years to come.
Sawana braid - Classics of durability in Scandinavian style
Fabric Sawana is one of the most highly regarded braids in the furniture industry. Its hallmark is a fine, dense weave, which creates a fine, melange structure. Up close, it resembles natural linen canvas, which gives the furniture an organic and raw look.
Why fabric Is savana so popular? First of all, because of its structure. Thanks to the fine weave, the threads are very tightly arranged, which minimizes the risk of pulling. It is fabric with high resistance to pilling (mossing), which is crucial for upholstered furniture on which we often sit.
For whom will Sawana be ideal? It is a great choice for minimalist models, such as Meyn bed with container. Its matte surface does not reflect light violently, which means that the color remains stable regardless of the time of day. Sawana goes well with wooden accessories and light „Scandi” type interiors.
Manila velour - A touch of luxury and depth of color
If you are looking for something that will give your bedroom a prestigious touch, fabric Manila is unrivaled. It is a velour with subtle, short pile that is extremely soft and velvety to the touch. Unlike braids, Manila „works” with light. Dragging your hand across its surface changes the alignment of the bristles, which creates elegant shading.
W DAVHON Furniture We noticed that customers choosing continental bed, they almost always lean toward velour. Model Milano bed In Manila fabric, it looks simply regal. Thanks to its elasticity, Manila is ideal for quilting and stitching on headrests. This fabric, which „forgives” less ideal walls, as its brilliance draws attention away from the minor flaws of the interior.
The practical aspect is worth mentioning - modern Manila velour is easier to clean than the former velvet varieties. The bristles do not absorb dust as deeply as braided weaves, which will be appreciated by allergy sufferers. Regular refreshing with a soft brush is enough to fabric It retained its fluffiness.
Technical comparison - Which fabric wins?
The decision on which fabric will be placed on your bed should be based on facts. Below is a summary of key parameters to help you choose:
| Parameter | Sawana Fabric (Braided) | Manila fabric (Velour) |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Clear thread weave, flat | Soft bristles, roomy |
| Sense of touch | Stable, slightly rough | Very soft, silky |
| Cleaning | Vacuuming, foam dry cleaning | Brushing, washing with a damp cloth |
| Interior style | Loft, Scandinavian, Eco | Glamour, Classic, Modern |
Selection of fabric for bed construction
In the professional furniture making business, which is the business of upholstery, not every fabric fits every frame. At DAVHON Furniture, we match fabrics to accentuate the strengths of the design:
1. continental beds - Kingdom of velour
The complex construction of continental beds such as. Rumba or Hessa, is based on large planes of material. Soft fabric Manila softens the dimensions of these beds, making them appear light and inviting to rest despite their size.
2. upholstered frame beds - Braid strength
For those who appreciate modern, technical forms, as in the model Senvi, fabric The savana will be the perfect complement. It emphasizes the sharp lines of the frame and gives the whole thing a professional, architectural flair. In turn upholstered bed without headrest in Sawana becomes almost invisible in the room, which is desirable in very small bedrooms.
Children, animals and the choice of fabric
This is one of the most common questions from our customers: „Which fabric Will it survive my cat or dog?”. Here the answer may surprise you. Although Sawana is very durable, its weave can become a target for cat claws. In the case of pets, the smooth fabric Manila-type velour often works better - it does not have pronounced weave meshes that the animal could snag on, and the hair is much easier to remove with a rubber glove or roller.
If there are small children in the house, Sawan plaid of a darker shade (e.g., graphite or navy blue) perfectly disguises minor dirt. Manila light velour, on the other hand, may require more discipline, although its texture allows for quick removal of „wet” stains before they soak deep into the upholstery foam.
How to take care of the fabric so that it serves for years?
Whether your choice is plaid or velour, each fabric NEEDS NOTES. As a manufacturer, we recommend:
- Regular vacuuming: Once a week, use a vacuum cleaner with a soft-bristle nozzle. Dust acts like sandpaper on the fabric fibers.
- Avoiding the sun: Try not to place the bed in direct sunlight. No fabric does not like prolonged exposure to UV rays, which can cause color fading.
- Quick response: If there is a spill, drain the liquid with a paper towel without rubbing it into the fabric.
