4 hypoallergenic fabrics your skin will thank you for

One of our most asked questions is: “Do you have any hypoallergenic fabrics? Am chemically sensitive!” (This is one of the *many* variations we get on a daily basis).

As someone who struggled with eczema, finding a fabric that didn’t give me those small, painful bumps was a battle of its own.

I made the switch after reading about hypoallergenic fabrics online – haven’t looked back since.

Hypoallergenic fabrics: who are they for?

If you have sensitive skin, any seasonal or year-round allergies (or have bouts of eczema like me), you should definitely give them a try.

The best part: we have an entire collection dedicated to hypoallergenic sofa covers. These fabrics are all-natural and certified free from harmful chemicals.

All about the hypoallergenic collection

There are 4 fabrics under this collection: Pure Linen, Everyday Linen, Brushed Cotton and Cotton Canvas.

These linens, cottons, and blends are breathable, which means each of these weaves is well-circulated for your comfort. They are also OEKO-TEX certified – declared free from harmful substances and safe for human health.

Pure Linen

True to its name, Pure Linen is our 100% premium linen – a timeless favourite that will fit right into any space, no matter the aesthetic.

It is currently available in two classic, elegant shades:

• White
• Natural

You don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style – this soft, textured fabric is perfect if you’re after that modern farmhouse look.

If farmhouse isn’t really your thing, you could also go shabby chic! We’ve developed our very own Signature styles to give your sofa an instant facelift, Comfort Works-style.

Tip: If you’re the type to do anything and everything to get out of ironing, this living room style is the one for you.

Thanks to its natural fibres, Pure Linen is best for most households, especially those with skin sensitivities. 

Everyday Linen

Everyday Linen blends linen and cotton – that’s two natural textiles, making it the ultimate skin-friendly fabric. This ultra-soft blend is also safe for the kids to lounge (or bounce) on every single day.

It comes in 4 earth-inspired shades:

• Cream
• Natural
• Hazel
• Charcoal

Its highly breathable weave makes it great for those with year-round allergies, as it leaves little room for dust mites and any dander to collect. 

Brushed Cotton

Brushed Cotton is our premium 100% pure cotton fabric, stonewashed for a soft, luxurious finish. 

It is available in 4 modern, neutral shades:

• White
• Coal
• Ash
• Sand

Lush, velvety and breathable, Brushed Cotton is the perfect choice for those who are prone to skin flare-ups from certain fabrics.

Cotton Canvas

Cotton Canvas is our trusty, resilient 100% pure cotton fabric. This collection is ideal for active, busy homes (read: excited children and pets).

It is currently available in a mix of neutrals you know and love, along with not-so-conventional shades:

• White
• Black
• Charcoal
• Navy
• Sand
