Performance Fabric Like No Other
Our most popular performance fabric is hands down, Kashmira®. Kashmira is a suede-like fabric created through years of research and development. Not only is Kashmira soft and beautiful, but it’s the most durable, pet, and kid friendly fabric we’ve found. It’s so amazing that we refer to it as our wonder fabric! And that’s why it’s exclusive to Flexsteel in the United States.
Stain-Resistant Upholstery Fabric That’s Easy to Clean
The combination of acrylic, nylon, rayon, and cotton in Kashmira give this performance fabric its ability to repel liquids, food spills, and inks.

So Durable, Kashmira Comes with a Five-Year Limited Warranty
Everyone talks about durability, but what really constitutes durability? Fabric durability is determined by a “double rub” count. Essentially, the fabric is rubbed back and forth multiple times to replicate the effects of normal use. Including sitting and standing.
It’s rubbed until there are signs of significant wear. Three thousand double rubs are considered equal to one year of use. The higher the number of double rubs, the more durable and long-lasting the fabric. Durability is typically coded as HHH, MMM, LLL, and DDD. The chart shows what those codes mean.
Double Rub Scale for Home Use
Heavy Duty HHH | Medium Duty MMM | Light Duty LLL | Delicate Duty DDD |
| 15,000+ Rubs | 9-15,000 rubs | 3-9,000 rubs | <3,000 rubs |
| Ideal for pets and kids | Fairly durable, good for use in living rooms | Fabric will only last 1-3 years before showing noticeable signs of wear | Wears easily |
| Good for furniture with heavy use | Best for furniture not used daily | Typically used for pillows and curtains |
Kashmira has a double rub count of 250,000!
That means a longer warranty. Instead of a 1-year warranty that is standard for upholstery performance fabrics, Kashmira comes with a 5-year warranty.
