Choose Durable, Easy to Clean Fabrics

Here are some key things you want to look for in pet-friendly fabrics:

  • Tight weave: Resists clawing from cats and prevents snags.
  • Low pile: Shorter fibers reduce the risk of catching or pulling.
  • High rub count: Ensures durability against daily wear and tear.
  • “W” cleaning code: Allows for easy maintenance with water-based cleaning, meaning you can simply toss them in the washing machine.

Most of our cushion covers are removable which make cleaning up after pets much easier.

Ideal Sofa Colors for Pets

  • Neutral colors: Beige, grey, or taupe are great for hiding pet hair and stains.

  • Darker colors like charcoal, navy, or chocolate brown can camouflage pet hair and dirt. Although be aware that they may fade or wear out faster with frequent washing.

Avoid light colors (white, cream, pastels) as it will show pet hair, dirt, and accidents much more easily, requiring frequent cleaning.

Consider These Sofa Features for Pets

Some pets prefer lounging on the couch, while others enjoy jumping and playing. Here's some features to think about when customizing your sofa.

Shorter Legs

Sofas with shorter legs are less prone to tipping, especially if your pets love to jump up and down from the couch.

Firm Cushions

Firm cushions offer more support and are less likely to sag with repeated pet use.

Wide Seats

If your pet loves lounging, look for sofas with wide seats or deep cushions that give your pet plenty of room to stretch out comfortably.

Corner Sofas

If you have multiple pets, a sectional or corner sofa may provide enough space for everyone, offering more lounging room.

Pet Friendly Sofas Customer Reviews

Dog & Cat Scratch Proof Sofa Fabrics

When choosing a pet-friendly couch, it's essential to prioritize durable, easy-to-clean fabrics that can handle the wear and tear of cats and dogs. Leather, microfiber, and performance fabrics like Crypton or Sunbrella are popular options because they resist stains, moisture, and scratches. Materials such as canvas or denim are also excellent choices due to their strength. Additionally, a tight weave in the fabric helps prevent pet claws from getting caught, while patterns or textures can effectively camouflage fur and minor stains.

For added convenience, couches with removable and washable covers make cleaning up after pets much easier. Sofas with raised legs allow for quick access to clean underneath where fur tends to accumulate, while firm or memory foam cushions provide durability and comfort. To minimize visible shedding, consider choosing a couch color that closely matches your pet's fur. These small design and material choices can help create a stylish, pet-friendly living space that stays looking fresh for years.
