Beautiful fabrics that stand up to real life

Performance fabrics are designed to be durable, stain-resistant, easy to clean, and long-lasting while maintaining a soft, comfortable feel. These fabrics use advanced technology to repel liquids, resist stains, and withstand everyday wear and tear, making them ideal for busy households.

Why are performance fabrics important?

Florida Climate

Florida's heat and humidity accelerate mold, mildew, and fading in fabrics. Performance textiles combat these issues with moisture resistance and UV protection, while quick-drying, breathable materials maintain comfort throughout changing seasons.

Families with Kids

Children bring inevitable spills and messes to your furniture. Performance fabrics offer stress-free solutions with advanced stain-resistant technology that simplifies cleanup. Many options include antimicrobial properties to prevent bacteria buildup for healthier family environments.

Home with Pets

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes performance fabric different from regular upholstery fabric?

Performance fabric has been specially engineered and treated to possess enhanced qualities such as superior durability, stain resistance, and fade resistance. These fabrics are designed to withstand everyday challenges while maintaining their appearance over time.


Are performance fabrics safe for households with allergies?

Yes, many performance fabrics are hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites. The tight weave of performance fabrics makes it difficult for allergens to become trapped within the fabric.


How do I clean spills on performance fabric furniture?

One of the benefits of performance fabric is its easy maintenance. Most spills can be cleaned with just a mild soap and water solution. When a spill occurs, the liquid typically beads up on the surface rather than being absorbed, giving you time to wipe it away before staining occurs.


Is performance fabric worth the investment?

Performance fabric furniture is an excellent investment for busy households, especially those with children and pets. While it may have a higher initial cost, the durability, stain resistance, and reduced maintenance needs often result in furniture that maintains its appearance longer and requires fewer replacements or professional cleanings over time.
