The best way to live peacefully with your pet is not to restrict them from furniture (which will interfere with their leisure time!) but to invest in pet-friendly furniture. And the first hurdle is finding a pet-friendly sofa.
5 Pet-friendly Couches To Fight Fur And Combat Claw Marks –
Since your pet spends its time on the sofa, it needs to be able to cope with dirty paws, cat claws, spills and hairballs – and look good while doing it.
It’s a lot of work, but if you know what to look for, you can find the perfect sofa for your pet-filled life. We’ll explain what type of upholstery will suit your furry friends and introduce you to 5 pet-friendly sofas that are durable and stylish enough for any living room.
Some fabrics like silk and chenille are very sensitive to the claws of dogs and cats. (Even looking at chenille the wrong way can cause clogs.) However, with woven fabrics like tweed, animal hair gets caught in the tight weave of the fabric, making it difficult to clean.
Apart from the type of upholstery, the color is also important. White beds may look good in magazines, but bring one home to your best friend and it will be stained in less than an hour. Avoid these new baby mistakes by sticking to the following tried-and-true, pet-friendly fabric options when shopping.
The Best Pet-friendly Couches
Microfiber is a great fabric for pet owners. Because it’s a stain-resistant fabric, you don’t have to worry about dirty stains or the occasional stray hairball. Most dirt can be easily wiped off with a damp cloth. For stubborn areas, you can clean the microfiber with upholstery cleaner. The only place to test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area before using it on a visible area of your sofa.
Microfiber is also a strong fabric that is unlikely to tear or scratch – even if a large dog climbs on and off the fabric regularly. Cats don’t like to use microfiber couches as personal scratching posts because the smooth fabric doesn’t get caught in their claws, which makes scratching less fun.
Microfiber also does not attract pet hair and no hair gets caught between the fibers. If you ever see pet hair floating around on your sofa, you can remove it immediately with a vacuum cleaner or lint roller.
We’re not trying to say that microfiber is the best fabric for pet owners, but it’s pretty close. All of these features make microfiber our top choice for pet-friendly upholstery.

Pet owners who love a little luxury will be happy to hear that velvet is a pet-friendly fabric choice. Velvet texture does not stick to nails, so this fabric is unlikely to be damaged when a dog climbs in and out of it, and your cat is unlikely to use your velvet sofa as a scratching post.
Velvet can be more difficult to clean than microfiber because excessive scrubbing can damage the soft velvet finish. Therefore, you should familiarize yourself with the best way to clean velvet. If your pet gets dirt or mud on the sofa, you should wait until it dries and try to clean it or clean it gently with a soft bristle brush.
If you’ve ever used a velvet lint remover, you know that pet hair tends to stick to velvet. This fabric attracts pet hair, but the hair doesn’t get stuck to the fabric, making it easy to clean your sofa cushions with a quick vacuum. However, be aware that you will need to clean a velvet sofa more often than a microfiber sofa.
A leather sofa is always in style and one of the reasons it has stood the test of time is its durability. This device does not detect pet hair and cats do not want to scratch it. (Like velvet and microfiber, the texture doesn’t hold nails, so scratching isn’t satisfactory.)

However, fur can leave scratch marks even if your pet is not trying to scratch it. Therefore, this fabric is not the best choice for households with large dogs, as they may accidentally leave tear marks when they get on and off the sofa.
While loose dirt and pet hair can be easily cleaned from a leather sofa, stains can be difficult to remove from genuine leather. For a simple, clean choice, choose faux leather or synthetic leather.
Darker options show less dirt and stains than lighter options. Be careful when choosing a sofa that matches the animal. Especially for pet-friendly fabrics such as microfiber, we may be interested enough to choose a tan, but for most fabrics we will look for shades close to navy, charcoal and chocolate of the color spectrum.
Patterns and prints also help hide blemishes. And you don’t have to choose a bold or bold print to reap the benefits. Even something as simple as choosing a warm fabric or fabric with an old or worn finish can help.
