The three dimensional upholstery is considered as one of the fabrics which have distinctive technical and aesthetic values. This effect comes from the presence of projections or wrinkles in the fabric which leads to better aesthetic nature and decorative sense. This in turn enriches the appearance of these types of fabrics. The three dimensional effect can be obtained through several production methods. This research is concerned with the possibility of obtaining projections and heights (three dimensional effects) on the surface of the fabrics through altering the applied production method used in weaving or finishing stages then studying the effect of each applied method on the physical and mechanical properties of the upholstery fabrics. Four fabrics having the same design were produced by different applied methods to achieve three dimensional effect then these fabrics were tested for essential functional properties such as tensile strength, tear strength, stiffness and abrasion resistance. The test results obtained showed that sample which was produced by weft backed cloth method has scored the highest value for tensile strength in warp direction and abrasion resistance.

Abstract
The three dimensional upholstery is considered as one of the fabrics which have distinctive technical and aesthetic values. This effect comes from the presence of projections or wrinkles in the fabric which leads to better aesthetic nature and decorative sense. This in turn enriches the appearance of these types of fabrics. The three dimensional effect can be obtained through several production methods. This research is concerned with the possibility of obtaining projections and heights (three dimensional effects) on the surface of the fabrics through altering the applied production method used in weaving or finishing stages then studying the effect of each applied method on the physical and mechanical properties of the upholstery fabrics. Four fabrics having the same design were produced by different applied methods to achieve three dimensional effect then these fabrics were tested for essential functional properties such as tensile strength, tear strength, stiffness and abrasion resistance. The test results obtained showed that sample which was produced by weft backed cloth method has scored the highest value for tensile strength in warp direction and abrasion resistance.
