54″ Wide Beige Poly-Cotton Platform Cloth

54" Beige Poly-Cotton Upholstery Platform Cloth

54" Beige Poly-Cotton Upholstery Platform Cloth is a woven furniture lining made for fixed seating platforms, removable cushion undersides and suitable upholstered furniture panels.

Platform cloth, sometimes called upholstery decking fabric or sofa platform lining, provides a neat, durable surface beneath loose seat cushions. It conceals the supporting upholstery materials and creates a finished appearance when cushions are removed.

The neutral beige colour is particularly suitable for cream, natural, linen-look and other light-coloured upholstery fabrics, where a black lining could appear too prominent.

Applications for Beige Platform Cloth

Sofa and Chair Seating Platforms

Platform cloth is commonly fitted across the fixed area beneath removable sofa and chair cushions.

It covers the underlying padding and provides a consistent surface for the loose cushions to rest upon. The beige finish is especially useful with lighter furniture where the seating deck may be visible around cushion edges.

For new seating platforms and furniture repairs, see Upholstery Foam Sheets for suitable support and padding materials.

Removable Cushion Undersides

Poly-cotton platform cloth can also form the underside panel of a removable cushion cover.

Using a purpose-made lining fabric can reduce the amount of decorative upholstery fabric required, particularly when manufacturing several large cushions.

It is suitable for sofa cushions, chair cushions, window-seat pads and appropriate caravan or campervan seating.

For cushion manufacture, the Polyester Wadding range provides fibre wraps for softening foam edges and improving the finished cushion shape.

Polyester wadding should be secured to foam using suitable Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive to help prevent shifting and bunching during cover fitting.

Furniture Bases and Upholstered Panels

Beige platform cloth may also be used on suitable furniture bases, upholstered benches and internal panels where a woven lining is preferred.

Where additional padding or spring protection is needed, consider materials from the Felts & Wadding range, including compressed spring-insulator padding for appropriate furniture constructions.

Platform cloth provides a finishing layer; it does not replace structural webbing, springs or suitable supporting foam.

Cutting, Sewing and Fitting

Before ordering, measure the platform or cushion panel, allowing sufficient material for seams, fixing and trimming.

When fitting to a timber frame, position the cloth evenly and secure it using appropriate Upholstery Staples.

Apply sufficient tension to produce a smooth surface without overstretching the fabric or compressing the underlying padding.

When incorporating platform cloth into removable cushions, allow for seam allowances, zip positions and any cushion borders.

Choose suitable Upholstery Sewing Threads for the covering materials and intended construction.

For accurate cutting, see Upholstery Shears & Snips.

Choosing the Right Platform Cloth

The 54" Black Poly-Cotton Platform Cloth is suited to darker furniture, while 54" Brown Poly-Cotton Platform Cloth provides a traditional alternative.

For wider furniture panels, consider 60" Fawn Cotton Platform Cloth.

If loose cushions slide across the seating platform, 60cm Anti-Slip Upholstery Cloth may provide additional grip.

Fire Performance and Material Selection

states that its platform cloth meets BS 5852 Schedule 4 Part 2 cigarette and Schedule 5 Part 3 match ignition tests.

These test claims should not be confused with certification as a Schedule 3 Crib 5 barrier. The suitability of the complete furniture construction depends on the covering, fillings and any additional required materials.
