What are COM grades in lounge seating fabric selection?

COM stands for Customer's Own Material — a specification option that allows buyers to supply their own fabric or upholstery material to the manufacturer for application on the lounge seating frame. This is common in contract furniture when a designer selects a specific textile that matches an overall interior scheme precisely. The manufacturer specifies a yardage requirement per unit (typically 4–8 yards for a lounge chair, 10–16 yards for a sofa) and charges a cut-and-sew fee. COM fabrics must meet commercial durability standards (at minimum 30,000 double rubs and pass CAL 117-2013 fire test) or the manufacturer will not warranty the upholstery.
