What is Olefin?
Olefin is a synthetic fabric made from polypropylene or polyethylene fibers. Originally developed to be lightweight and resilient, Olefin has become a go-to material for furniture, outdoor products, and accessories due to its resistance to wear, water, and UV damage.
The Olefin fabric used in Fatboy products is tested to withstand 35,000 Martindales, a measure of abrasion resistance that ensures it can endure heavy use without showing signs of wear. This makes it ideal for high-traffic areas and everyday use, whether in your living room or backyard.
Olefin fabric is a high-performance textile known for its exceptional durability, versatility, and eco-friendly qualities. At Fatboy, we’ve embraced the benefits of Olefin in a wide range of products, from bean bags and small ottomans to outdoor modular sofas, hammocks, pool floats, and even dog beds.
