Are upgrade fabrics more durable or better quality?
In general, upgrade fabrics are more expensive only because they cost more from our supplying mills. You will find that many upgrade fabrics have many different colors of threads and are in many ways like a tapestry. They are not more durable than regular grade fabrics (in reality the opposite is true because most micro fiber fabrics are regular grade). Upgrade fabrics may add between 25-60% to the cost of the sofa, most are 25-35% more. Upgrade fabrics tend to be produced for shorter periods of time than the regular grade fabrics, so they may not be available in year or two if you want to add another piece. If you use an upgrade fabric just for your side pillows the additional price is minimal.
