Sensation is a durable, design-forward upholstery fabric with a soft hand and artisan character. Subtle slub yarns give this heavy basket weave a refined, textured appearance while maintaining outstanding performance for everyday living. Designed to handle all life’s little messes, Sensation comes stock finished with Endurepel® Shield, offering enhanced resistance to stains and spills without sacrificing comfort.
With an exceptional 115,000 double rubs (Wyzenbeek) abrasion rating, Sensation is ideal for both residential and contract environments. Its woven plain construction provides excellent strength and dimensional stability, while strong seam slippage and crocking results ensure long-lasting beauty in high-use applications.
Sensation is railroaded, making it well suited for furniture upholstery with minimal seams, and is available in 15 versatile colors that work beautifully across contemporary, casual, and transitional interiors.
For environmentally conscious projects, Sensation contains no intentionally added PFAS chemicals, is Red List Free, California Proposition 65 compliant, and OEKO-TEX® certified. It is sourced through a socially compliant vendor that meets established sustainability criteria.
