What is performance fabric anyway?
Our performance fabric is an upholstery fabric designed specifically for the indoors and made to withstand daily use, everyday wear and tear, and life's messes. Our durable fabric is easy to clean, stain-resistant, and Crypton is odor-resistant, making it the best choice for pet owners and families.
Crypton is not a topical solution. Once the upholstery fabric is woven, it goes through an immersion bath and then passes through a 300-degree oven that cross-links the PFAS-free technology into every fiber. This patented process provides permanent protection against stains, moisture, and odors that won’t wash away.
Features and benefits:
- Beautiful performance fabric that is soft to the touch and suited for life’s messes
- Superior stain-resistant upholstery fabric that repels liquid and is easy to clean
- Releases soil and oil-based stains
- Odor-resistant; resists the growth of odor-causing microbes, making it the best upholstery for pet owners
- Protection sealed into every fiber for the life of the fabric. It will not wash away.
- PFAS-free, no forever chemicals, and no harsh chemicals
- GREENGUARD® Gold certified
- Clean with mild soap, no harsh cleaners
- Many of our durable fabrics are made in the USA
- Expansive fabric selection, including linens, velvets, and more
- 2-year warranty

What makes our upholstery fabric so special?
There’s a reason why we’re known as the magic fabric. Our performance fabric technology begins at the fiber level. The yarn is sealed with protection in a patented immersion bath and heat process. Unlike the competition’s topical sprays and coatings, Crypton won’t wash away or wear off.
Crypton is GREENGUARD Gold Certified and PFAS-free to support healthier indoor air quality in your living space. You get a beautiful, soft feel furniture fabric that is practical for daily life, including spills, pets, kids, and entertaining, without ruining your upholstery, and cleaning is a breeze.
