Bean Bag Cover: Premium Microsuede
All of our Gigantic Bean Bags use a premium microsuede cover that provides a beautiful combination of comfort, aesthetics, durability, and practicality for an unparalleled lounging experience.
1. What Exactly Is Microsuede?
Microsuede is a synthetic fabric made from finely woven polyester fibers. It is designed to mimic the look and feel of natural suede but is more affordable and easier to maintain.
The term "microsuede" is derived from the combination of "microfiber" and "suede." The fabric has a soft, smooth texture, resembling the luxurious feel of suede, making it a popular choice for upholstery, clothing, and accessories.
Microsuede is known for its durability, stain resistance, and ease of cleaning, making it a practical alternative to genuine suede. It is widely used in furniture upholstery, including bean bag chair covers, due to its comfort, aesthetic appeal, and practical qualities.
Additionally, microsuede often possesses hypoallergenic qualities, being resistant to allergens like dust mites and pet dander, making it suitable for individuals with allergies or sensitivities.
2. The Manufacturing Process
Polyester Fiber Selection
The process commences with the selection of high-quality polyester fibers. These fibers are chosen for their fineness and durability, essential characteristics for crafting the soft and plush texture associated with microsuede.
Finely Woven Fabric
The selected polyester fibers undergo a weaving process, meticulously intertwined to form a finely woven fabric. This step is crucial in creating the dense and tightly knit structure that defines microsuede's distinctive feel.
Polyurethane Coating
To enhance durability and mimic the suppleness of natural suede, the woven polyester fabric receives a polyurethane coating. This coating adds a layer of resilience and contributes to the fabric's overall softness.
Embossing and Napping
Microsuede often undergoes embossing, a process where a pattern or texture is imprinted onto the fabric's surface. Napping, a subsequent step, involves brushing the fabric to raise its fibers, creating a velvety texture that closely resembles genuine suede.
Dyeing Process
Microsuede is then subjected to a dyeing process, where it acquires its final color and tone. This step ensures uniform and vibrant coloring throughout the fabric.
Cutting and Finishing
Once the desired color is achieved, the microsuede fabric is cut into specific shapes based on the intended application. Whether for furniture upholstery or other uses, precise cutting is crucial to maintaining the fabric's integrity. Finishing touches, such as hemming or stitching, complete the manufacturing process.
Quality Control
Inspection and Testing: Throughout the manufacturing journey, quality control measures are implemented. The fabric undergoes rigorous inspection and testing to ensure it meets predetermined standards for softness, durability, colorfastness, and overall quality.
Consistency and Uniformity: Maintaining consistency and uniformity is paramount. Each batch of microsuede must closely match established specifications, guaranteeing that the final product meets or exceeds customer expectations.
End Result: A Luxurious and Versatile Fabric
The culmination of these intricate steps results in microsuede, a synthetic fabric celebrated for its softness, aesthetic appeal, durability, and versatility. This manufacturing process showcases the fusion of craftsmanship and technology, delivering a material that successfully emulates the luxurious feel of natural suede while offering practical benefits for various applications, including furniture upholstery and fashion.
