Pets and furniture have a complicated relationship. Muddy paws, fur that gets into everything, the occasional accident, and claws that find the armrest before you do. Finding pet-friendly furniture that actually stands up to all of that, while still looking good and feeling comfortable, is something most pet owners spend a long time searching for.
Chicory's outdoor collections were built with exactly this kind of real life in mind. The fabrics, the frame, the cushion construction, all of it is designed to take the kind of daily wear that comes with having animals in the mix.
What Makes Chicory Genuinely Pet-friendly
The Chicory x Anabei Washable Collection is the standout choice for pet owners. Every piece in the collection features pet-friendly couches with fabrics that are paw, claw, fur, and drool-resistant. The performance fabrics are stain and liquid-resistant, engineered with a non-toxic moisture barrier that repels water-based liquids and makes accidents easy to address rather than stress over.
But the more important feature is one that most furniture brands simply don't offer: the entire sofa is washable from top to bottom. The fabric slipcovers are removable and machine washable. The patent-pending Frame Duvet underneath, the cloud-like layer that wraps the steel frame, can also go in the washing machine. For pet owners, that means a genuine deep clean is always possible, not just a surface wipe.
Snag Resistant and Abrasion Tested
One of the most common ways pets damage furniture is through snags, claws catching on fabric loops, and pulling threads loose over time. Chicory's fabric options on the Washable Collection include dedicated pet-friendly and snag-resistant choices, specifically selected for the ultimate protection against furry family members.
The Classic Canvas option surpasses an abrasion resistance of 100,000 double rubs. The Nano Slubweave is tested on over 50,000 double rubs. These aren't just marketing numbers; they reflect the kind of durability testing that matters when a dog is jumping on and off a sofa multiple times a day.
A Frame That Can Handle the Weight
Pet-friendly couches aren't just about fabric. The frame underneath matters just as much, and Chicory's patent-pending powder-coated steel frame with stainless steel hardware is built to last a lifetime. It's designed to resist corrosion and rust, and it holds up to the kind of weight and movement that comes with pets claiming the sofa as their own.
No creaking, no splitting, no frame degrading after a season or two. For dog-friendly couches specifically, that structural integrity is what separates furniture that lasts from furniture that gets replaced every few years.
The Covers Are Interchangeable, Which Changes Everything
One thing that sets the Washable Collection apart as a pet-friendly sectional option is that the slipcovers are interchangeable. If a cover reaches the end of its life from heavy pet use, it can be replaced without replacing the entire sofa. Extra sets can be purchased, so there's always a clean cover ready while another is in the wash.
For a home with pets, this is genuinely practical. The frame stays; the covers handle the wear. It's a smarter long-term investment than furniture that requires full replacement the moment the fabric goes.
Cushions That Stay Comfortable After Repeated Washing
Washability is only useful if the cushions hold their shape and comfort after constant use. Chicory's cushions are composed of a blend of low- and high-density high-resilience CertiPUR-US® foam. The foam is certified free of ozone depleters and designed to regain its shape after compression. Even after pets have been lounging on them through an entire season, the comfort holds.
Safe for Pets, Safe for the Household
For pet owners who are also mindful about what their animals are exposed to, the fabric engineering matters beyond just durability. Chicory's performance fabrics are PFC and PFAS-free, meaning they're water-resistant without the use of chemicals. They're manufactured using recycled water and are nontoxic, certified by Oeko-Tex®.
The hypoallergenic, vegan, featherless down used in the cushions and frame duvet requires no fluffing and is cruelty-free. It's the kind of detail that matters to households where pets are family members, not afterthoughts.
A Pet-Friendly Sectional That Works for Any Size Setup
The Washable Collection is fully modular, which means a pet-friendly sectional can start small and grow over time. A two-seater can become a corner sectional in the future by adding extra units, when the household expands, whether that means more people or more pets. Each module is independently movable, collapsible for off-season storage, and ships in lightweight boxes that fit through any door.
The modular design also means individual pieces can be rearranged whenever the layout needs to change, or when a stubborn dog has claimed one end of the sofa, and everyone else has quietly adapted around them.
Shop Risk-Free
