- Look for Martindale
Besides colour, design and style, there are a few more practical considerations you should be aware of. The first thing to note is Martindale which describes the durability of the fabric.

- Consider the lightfastness
If the perfect spot for your sofa has to be close to the window, you should choose a fabric with a lightfastness around 4-8.

- A note on pilling
Pilling describes the formation of small loose strands or balls of fibres on the surface of the fabric. Pilling will reduce once the excess fibres are removed, but to avoid excess lint choose a pilling value above 4.
