Over the past few years, the company has invested heavily in our upholstery range – offering up a versatile selection of fabrics. Most of our ranges are available in different coating options; from uncoated and cigarette & match, to our Enduracare and Enduracare+ technology – all finished in our very own finishing mill in the UK.

  • Enduracare technology offers an industry-leading stain resistant finish and a flame-retardant coating.
  • Enduracare+ offers the same features that come with the Enduracare, but with the added benefit of being waterproof and anti-microbial.

So, no matter what your requirements are, the team can deliver the perfect upholstery fabric.

If you’re looking for something different, Printlab is the brand’s fabric design and printing solution, enabling you to create that bespoke element for your project. Whether you have an existing design, or you want us to create something bespoke, Edmund Bell’s designers can work from your brief or simply an idea or picture.

Edmund Bell is also a proud signatory of the Climate Pledge, further reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and taking action to reduce our effects on the environment and reach net zero carbon emissions by 2040.
