If your reclining furniture features the MyRecline F4 mobile app, please refer to the MyRecline F4 User Manual.

All Flexsteel fabrics are classified for durability by the American Society of Testing and Materials. All fabric samples are coded with a one of four wearability codes: HHH, MMM, LLL, or DDD. Descriptions of these codes are listed below.

HHH – This fabric is rated HEAVY DUTY and is suitable for normal use; by an active family with children. It should provide better durability than fabrics coded as Medium Duty. It meets or exceeds 15,000 Double Cycles of Abrasion Testing.

MMM – This fabric is rated MEDIUM DUTY and is suitable for normal use by adults in a household where furniture is not in constant use. It meets or exceeds 9,000 Double Cycles of Abrasion Testing.

LLL – This fabric is rated LIGHT DUTY and is suitable for an adult household where furniture is selected for its aesthetic value rather than for its performance characteristics. Such a fabric will provide satisfaction if not subject to constant use. It should provide better durability than fabrics coded as Delicate but cannot be expected to provide the same level of performance as those fabrics labeled as Heavy Duty or Medium Duty. It meets or exceeds 3,000 Double Cycles of Abrasion Testing.

DDD – This fabric is rated DELICATE. It is primarily decorative and should be given more care and respect than fabrics coded as Heavy Duty, Medium Duty, or Light Duty. This fabric carries the minimum rating of acceptability as established by the Upholstery Fabric Industry Performance Standards approved by the American Society of Testing and Materials.

Note: These codes do not by themselves constitute a guarantee of durability for a specified period of time; however, the fabric has been tested and meets the Upholstery Fabric Industry Performance Standards approved by the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM D13-73-12). They meet or exceed standards concerning: breaking;and tearing strength; resistance to yarn slippage; resistance to change in appearance, hand and character; fabric shrinking; crocking; and staining and color fastness to light, water, and gas fumes.

Pilling is characteristic of many fabrics and is caused by excess fiber coming off the fabric surface. This excess fiber forms small balls or “pills” on the fabric. Pilling will persist until the excess fiber has been released. The best treatment is to simply shave the fabric with a battery-operated furniture or sweater shaver to remove the pills and restore the look of the fabric surface.

Note: Pilling is not warranted by fabric mills or by Flexsteel. Pilling is a normal characteristic of many fabrics, and it is not considered a defect.
