Is linen fabric durable enough for commercial lounge seating?

Natural linen and linen-look fabrics have a beautiful texture and natural aesthetic, but pure linen is generally too delicate for high-use commercial applications. Pure linen wrinkles, can stain, and typically has lower double-rub ratings (under 30,000) than commercial synthetics. However, linen-polyester or linen-look polyester blends can achieve 30,000–50,000+ double rubs while maintaining the natural aesthetic. If you want a linen look, look for linen-blend commercial fabrics rather than pure linen. For any seating piece in a waiting room or collaborative area with daily use, stick to blended fabrics with documented commercial durability ratings. FindOfficeFurniture.com — 888-719-4960.
