Ticking Stripe Upholstery Fabric

Our Ticking Stripe Upholstery Fabric brings together heritage charm, everyday practicality, and exceptional durability across a curated palette of 12 versatile colours. Inspired by traditional mattress ticking, this woven stripe is a timeless staple—perfect for adding order, rhythm, and character to your home.

With a 35,000+ martindale rub count, this fabric is designed to stand up to the demands of daily life, making it an excellent choice for upholstery, curtains, and blinds. Whether you’re upholstering a beloved armchair or crafting made-to-measure striped curtains, the uniform vertical stripe lends visual height and tailored elegance to both modern and traditional spaces.

Available in Bottle Green, Henna, Denim, Fern, Indigo, Ochre, Plum, Red, Royal Blue, Slate, Teal, and Wedgewood, each colourway features a crisp, double-width stripe on a soft off-white ground. The effect is timeless—easy to mix with plains, florals, or checks.

Pair the earthy Fern, Ochre, or Bottle Green options with rustic woods and linens for a farmhouse feel, or lean into coastal styling with Denim, Royal Blue, or Wedgewood. For a warmer palette, Henna, Plum, and Red offer bold character without overwhelming a space. Each shade has been selected to work beautifully across different lighting conditions and styles.

As with all our Upholstery Fabric, this design balances durability and aesthetics with ease. The high rub count makes it equally suitable for contract and domestic projects. If you’re looking for hardwearing material for high-traffic areas, or simply want a classic stripe that won’t date, Ticking Stripe is a versatile winner.
