Performance Velvet
Luxurious, sophisticated, and soft, a velvet couch is a must-have for glam homes. Sadly, velvet can be a bit delicate, prone to fading and wear and tear. But now you can enjoy a surprising replication from Apt2B that mimics the original’s plushness — but is engineered to better repel pet hair.

PRO TIP
Rub count is the industry test for how many times a fabric can be rubbed back and forth before there’s signs of wear and tear. The higher the count, the more durable it is.
Performance Woven Fabric
There are endless colors and textures when it comes to performance fabrics, making it ideal for a range of homes. But for the most durable options, Apt2B recommends fabric sectionals that are tightly woven, which make it harder for dirt or liquids to penetrate your cushions.

HONORABLE MENTION
Leather
Though technically not a performance fabric, leather couches deserve a shoutout. Leather is known for its durability, timeless style, and ability to age gracefully. Pro tip: For an extra layer of protection, look for ones labeled “Protected Aniline Leather” on Apt2B.
