If you answered yes to any of these, we have good news for you—when life happens, it doesn’t have to ruin your furniture. There’s no need to worry about spills, stains, damage from your cats or dogs, or everyday wear and tear with durable performance fabrics.

What Are Performance Fabrics?

Popsicles are no match for performance fabrics!

Revolution performance fabrics is one of the top names in the performance fabric industry. They define performance fabrics as material that isn’t only easy to clean but also designed to withstand the wear and tear of everyday life. From muddy paws and pet hair to food spills and stains, they are engineered to resist abrasion so your furniture won’t show signs of use after just one year, making it the perfect furniture option for households with pets and kids.

Several performance fabric manufacturers offer similar benefits, including iClean™ by La-Z-Boy, Nuvella, and Kid-Proof by Rowe. While each brand has its own approach to fighting stains and spills, they all promise protection to defend against life’s messes. Perfect for busy households with kids and pets, these fabrics ensure your furniture stays in top shape no matter how much life throws at it.

Here’s a breakdown of some of our favorite performance fabric lines.
