We are about to recover two sofas in our living room. We really like the comfy and elegant look of Matt velvet. We started looking at fabric swatches and velvet seems to be either inexpensive in polyester (contract) or expensive in a cotton mix. Also, some fabrics aren't 'fire retardant '.
Has anyone worked/used the polyester velvet and is there a notable difference to the cotton mix equivalents? Is fire retardant fabric important for reupholstery?
Would also appreciate any suggestions on velvets available in the £30-45 mid-range.
