Sherpa FAQs

We answer your most frequently asked Sherpa questions.

What are the qualities of Sherpa fabric?

Sherpa (named after the Sherpa people of Tibet) is a soft, wool-like fabric that offers excellent warmth and comfort.

How long does Sherpa fabric last?

If treated properly, your Sherpa fabric furniture can last for years. At Swyft, with every upholstered item we provide a 2-year guarantee on all fabrics. Our fabrics are durable and resilient, which is why they are guaranteed for two years. However, the guarantee does not cover stains or spills. It covers issues with the workmanship and stitching. If you want to cover stains or spills, we’d recommend taking out a five-year insurance plan with Guardsman Protection.

What is another name for Sherpa fabric?

Sherpa fabric is also known as faux-shearling or faux-sheepskin.

Is Sherpa the same a fleece?

Sherpa is a soft, textured fabric made from looped polyester yarns to mimic the look and feel of sheepskin, offering a warm, woolly surface, whilst fleece is typically smoother on both sides and designed more for performance and insulation.

Why is Sherpa so warm?

Sherpa is so warm because its looped, wool-like texture traps heat and insulates well, creating small pockets of warm air close to your body. The thick, fluffy surface mimics natural sheepskin, helping retain body heat while still feeling breathable and soft.
