Pool table felt comes in various 'naps' and qualities. You can find championship felt, standard felt, even more durable bar-grade felt. You can find pre-cut felt for your pool table that is bathed in Teflon after it's woven, giving you superior durability and roll with a minimum of friction. You can also find colors other than the standard green, including burgundy, black and blue.

Choose Your Felt for 'Roll' and Durability
Many pool tables are equipped with felt that is a blend of wool and nylon, although you can find 100 percent wool felt if that's what you require. Packages that consist of six rail pieces and a bed piece is often how pool table felt is shipped, and you have to apply it yourself.

You can get as fancy or as basic as you want with the pool table itself. You can find models made of solid mahogany, dating from the Victorian era with ornate legs and decorative work. You can also find modern tables made of synthetic materials painted white with a blue, rather than the traditional green, felt playing surface.

Pool enthusiasts who spend a good deal of time playing the game often equip their billiards room with special, overhead lights. This adds to the authentic feel of the space, as well as preventing shadows from behind from interfering with the game. You can find modern billiards lights or, if you're lucky, antique models from vintage pubs and pool halls to complement the unique felt of your pool table.
