A guide to our fabrics

Meet the fabric fam

From light and soft to ultra-cozy, there’s a Nugget fabric for every Nuggeteer. Our fabric family tree includes microsuede, double-brushed microsuede, and corduroy – all carefully created to put the “fun” in “functional.”

Our microsuede fabrics are made with a durable, high-performance polyester, and our corduroy is made using a polyester-nylon blend. All three fabrics are equally soft, durable, and buildable, but there are some differences in texture.

The magic of microsuede

Classic microsuede is our original, high-performance polyester, and the smoothest-feeling fabric in the collection. It has a suede-like finish — hence the name! — and it’s durable enough to withstand just about anything, including the test of time.

Double the (microsuede) love

Double-brushed microsuede is very similar, but it’s brushed twice during production to create little grooves that give the fabric deeper dimension and a soft, luxe texture. It also has a slight sheen in certain lighting. We’ve found that the small grooves of our double-brushed microsuede can help hide pet hair and debris, making it a great option for homes with four-legged family members!

Corduroy: A blast from the past

Finally, our latest fabric is a velvety-soft blast from the past: Corduroy! Its ridges (called wales in the biz) are medium weight, providing a plush texture with plenty of grip for your most ambitious builds.
