Picture this:
You purchased a brand-new couch this autumn. It has extra wide cushions on the seat. Itβs sleek, itβs chic, it takes up one third of your lounge and most importantly, you can melt into it on a Friday evening after work.
Fast forward to mid-spring. Sure, you passed all those cold winterβs nights watching movies with the family and you have spent more of the lockdown sitting down than you would like to admit, but now that itβs almost time to pop your bubble your brand-new couch is looking a littleβ¦ dishevelled.
When selecting the fabric and style of a new lounge suite it is crucial to consider its future environment. To prevent your dream couch from becoming saggy and stretched on the seat cushion after prolonged use, or to remedy the situation, weβve reached out to James Dunlop Textilesβ Auckland-based Upholstery Specialist, Robert Street, to provide insight into the problem and offer some solutions.
Why does the fabric on a newly upholstered sofa appear stretched and out of shape after only a few months of use?
There are several factors that could come into play here, letβs look at them one by one.
Firstly, it is rare for an upholstery fabric with a synthetic component to stretch as synthetic fibres are very stable. Natural fibres are generally stable but can βmoveβ over time depending on the weave. Twill weaves donβt move (think denim jeans) but basket weaves can move a little. Natural fibres such as cotton and linen can absorb the humidity in the air and βrelax.β
However, all of James Dunlop Textileβs fabrics undergo the seam slippage test, which is performed as part of the fabricβs evaluation and quality testing process, where any possible issues like the weave stretching are highlighted. Any fabrics with seam slippage test failures are identified and resolved before we manufacture a product for our range.
What is Seam Slippage?
Seam slippage is the separation of yarns in a fabric, usually along a sewn seam or join. Generally, the yarns donβt actually break, they just pull apart leaving an unsightly gap along the fabricβ―join.
So what could be the cause?
With this in mind β we can eliminate fabric stretch as the issue here and look at what the likely cause could be.
1. Foam
Good quality foam loses 5-7% of its loft within the first 3 months of use β this may be a contributing factor here. Some furniture manufacturers use a pre-crushed foam (the Gucci of foams) which prevents this loft loss β while being more expensive, it is worth it as you really do get what you pay for in furniture.
2. The Design
There are two main types of couch designs β cushion seat and fixed seat.
Cushion Seat: The sides of a cushion seat pull upwards, and therefore do not need extra fabric as the cushion flexes to allow the fabric cover to release into the compressed foam in the centre, where you sit.
Fixed Seat: A fixed seat requires an allowance of extra fabric in the back of the base cushion. This extra fabric moves forward, compensating for the foam compressing when you sit on the couch. Once you stand, the foam lofts again and if the extra fabric does not move back to the base of the cushion fast enough it will be trapped, causing a βpuddledβ saggy look.

I can be a little wary in new situations and meeting new people, so would love an experienced and patient home. One that has the time to put in the extra training I need as I have not had much. I am very food motivated so will pick things up quickly. I can be very puppy like when comfortable around my people so require a home with older teenagers or an only adult home, one that is confident around larger than life personalities. The team here have mixed me with other dogs, so I could go to a home with an existing dog. One that is social and has a similar play style to me. A dog that is happy to share their space and their humans. I have yet to be cat tested. If you think I am the dog for you please contact the canine team for more information."
