The Benefits of Performance Fabrics
Is It A Bird? Is It A Plane? No, It’s Super Performance Fabric That Works Wonders!
Anyone who visited Grandma in summertime probably remembers sitting on and sticking to a plastic-covered sofa. Nothing could be more uncomfortable than the hard, crinkly plastic shifting underneath you. But, to guard the living room against dirt and damage, she had to pop her cushions inside a clear plastic shroud. It was perfect—not only did it preserve the fabric, but it also let the style show through. …I shudder at the thought!
Benefits Of Performance Fabrics
Welcome, today’s performance fabric, fabrics that resist wear and tear and, in some cases, contribute to a healthier lifestyle. These fabrics eliminate the need for those (awful) plastic sheaths. Now, it’s okay to sit on the couch because the cushions are stain- and water-resistant.
These fabrics may be hydrophobic to resist absorbing liquid or entirely washable with soap and water. Easy to clean materials like Acrylic or washable ones like Olefin weave into textiles that become disaster-protecting seat cushions while maintaining comfort. Also, the synthetic or chemically coated fibers reduce allergens by resisting mildew and mold, typical albeit gross growths that often plague long-term use furniture.
Better Living
Now, with performance fabrics, it’s possible to enjoy your home without covering up the seats for protection.
Living Room Couches. The living room sofa gets so much traffic, and it’s an expensive item to purchase. New owners are more likely to ask guests to eat on the floor before allowing them to munch on wings while watching a football game. Also, the sofa is such a large surface area that any stain will be visible, an eye-sore that will pain you every time you set sight on it. Enter performance fabrics, materials that can handle stains and high-traffic areas. These materials endure cleaning and resist friction, extending the life of your furniture and allowing you to fully enjoy your home.
Chair Cushions. If you’ve ever sat across from a small child at the kitchen table, then you understand the need for stain- and water-resistant fabric on a chair cushion. Imagine the damage that sticky syrup, bright red sauce, or soggy oatmeal can wreak on ordinary seat cushions! Adults are also culprits, spilling red wine or upending the gravy boat at dining room gatherings. With the use of performance fabrics on dining room chair cushions, there is less mess to worry about which makes it easier to enjoy entertaining and simple clean up.
The advent of performance fabrics means worry-free living no matter who sits at the table or what gets served on the couch. Whether Nylon, Polyester, Acrylic, Olefin, or natural fibers coated to perform, these materials make it easier to enjoy living in your home by reducing the common problems associated with long-term seating.
