Fabric Selection & Approval
Fabric is the most visible custom variable on an upholstered bed, but buyers should approve more than colour. Texture, composition, usable width, batch consistency, cleaning expectations, fire-performance requirements and packing protection can all affect the final programme.
What can be reviewed
Upholstery families & selection criteria
- Velvet, linen-look, boucle and other commercially available upholstery families
- Colour selection against supplier cards or buyer references
- Fabric direction, panel matching and placement on the headboard, rails and footboard
- Performance evidence where required for the destination market
- Private-label swatch presentation and sample approval
How approval works
Step-by-step process
-
1
Tell us the market, target price level and preferred hand-feel.
-
2
Shortlist available fabric articles and colours.
-
3
Approve a physical swatch or signed product sample.
-
4
Record the confirmed article, colour code and placement in the order specification.
Important sourcing boundary
Screen colours and catalogue photographs are indicative. Dye lots may vary, and a fabric described as fire retardant is not automatically suitable for every product or market. Relevant documents must match the selected material and intended claim.
MOQ, lead time and packing
Commercial considerations
Special colours, buyer-exclusive fabrics and performance treatments may change MOQ and lead time. Light fabrics and textured surfaces may also require additional protective wrapping. These effects are confirmed before quotation.
