EASE Performance Fabrics® are high-performance fabrics that repel liquids, resist stains, and have enhanced cleanability. Durable and easy to maintain, EASE is built to withstand the demands and excitement of everyday life.
Designed for versatility, EASE can be applied to a wide variety of textiles, including natural fibers, decorative woven fabrics, velvets, and linens. This allows fabrics to maintain their intended softness, texture, color, and design while gaining added durability and everyday performance benefits.
Unlike performance fibers, which are engineered directly into the yarn during manufacturing, performance finishes are applied after the fabric is produced. This approach provides greater flexibility in fabric design and construction, making it possible to achieve both elevated aesthetics and reliable performance in a broader range of textiles.
Ease Performance Fabrics™ bring together beautiful design and everyday practicality, so you can enjoy your home without worrying about the messes that come with living in it.
Designed to stand up to daily life, every fabric meets or exceeds 30,000 double rubs and features enhanced stain resistance to help keep your upholstery looking its best. Spills bead up on the surface and most stains clean easily with just soap and water.
Ease Performance Fabrics™ adds the benefits of performance to any type of textile, from natural fibers and decorative jacquards to luxurious velvets and linens. Each fabric retains the softness, texture, color and character that make it special.
