Striped outdoor fabric - Agora Lines and Agora Rayure compared
Both fabrics come from Agora in Spain and are built the same way technically: 100 % solution-dyed acrylic, 260 g/m², with a water- and dirt-repellent finish. The difference lies in the stripe pattern. All test values and the remaining colours are on the fabric page Agora Lines and Rayure.

Foldable outdoor mattress in Agora Lines
Six colours with the same layout: one plain and one mottled stripe, each 5 cm wide. For every colour, Agora names a matching plain shade from Agora Liso.

Four colours with a stripe sequence that repeats every 15.5 cm. Material and test values are the same as for Agora Lines.
What the values of Agora Lines and Rayure mean
The figures come from the manufacturer's data sheets and apply to both fabrics unless stated otherwise. This is how to read them:
Solution-dyed acrylic
The colour is added to the liquid spinning mass before the fibre is formed. It therefore sits in the core of the fibre rather than on the surface. For a striped fabric, this means that both stripe colours are rated equally lightfast.
Lightfastness 7-8 out of 8
Measured to ISO 105-B02 on a scale from 1 to 8, with weathering to ISO 105-B04 also rated 7-8. What the grades mean is explained in What is lightfastness.
UPF 50+
The UV protection factor to AS/NZS 4399 is 50+, so the fabric blocks more than 98 % of UV radiation. More on this under What is UPF.
Water-repellent, not waterproof
Both fabrics have a water- and dirt-repellent finish and reach 5 out of 5 in the spray test. Agora Lines has a water column of 180 mm, so rain runs off, but in persistent rain the fabric does get wet. The difference is explained in What is a water column.
20,000 rubs Martindale
The abrasion resistance to ISO 12947-2 is 20,000 rubs. That is enough for cushions and mattresses used regularly outdoors and indoors.
5-year manufacturer's guarantee
Agora gives a 5-year guarantee on the colour fastness of both fabrics. How Agora differs from Sunbrella is shown in the comparison Agora or Sunbrella.
The foldable outdoor mattress in Lines and Rayure
All ten products in this collection are the same foldable mattress, only the cover changes. What makes an outdoor mattress is explained there. You will find further fabrics and shapes under Mattresses, with the foldable mattresses and the folding mattresses.
Made to your measurements
You enter the length, width and thickness in the configurator, and we sew to those. How to measure a lying surface correctly is shown in the measuring guide for lounger cushions.
Foldable
The mattress folds up and can be stored in a small space. Unfolded, it is a place to lie in the garden, on the balcony or for guests.
Removable cover
The cover has a zip and can be taken off. Inside is a foam core with a fleece wrap.
