Jul 03, 2026
By FurniEdu Specialists
When purchasing upholstered furniture, one of the most important specifications is the double rubs rating. This measures how much wear and tear a fabric can take before showing signs of breakdown.
Residential vs Commercial Ratings
For standard family rooms, look for fabrics rated at 15,000 double rubs. For high-traffic spaces with pets and kids, look for performance fabrics with 30,000+ double rubs.
