Velvet vs Fabric Ottoman Beds: Which Should You Choose?

Upholstery sets the tone of your bedroom. Here's how velvet, bouclé and fabric ottoman beds compare.

Velvet

Plush, luxurious and great at catching the light — perfect for a statement bedroom. Slightly more care needed.

Bouclé

A soft, textured loop-weave that's become one of the most popular ottoman bed finishes — forgiving of everyday marks and adds tactile warmth to a room.

Fabric (weave)

Hard-wearing, cosy and easy to maintain, fabric suits busy family homes.
