With spill-proof upholstery, modern furniture and messy families can officially coexist.
Attention all klutzes, slobs, pet owners and -- yes -- parents: You can now own furniture that is sure to withstand food drops, beverage spills and that everyday wear-and-tear that has ruined your furniture in the past.
A new furniture line called Slobproof, has come to your rescue. The line is designed by Debbie Wiener, an interior designer and author of Slob Proof! Real-Life Home Decorating Solutions. Slobproof is upholstered with Crypton fabric, a stain- and bacteria-resistant material with a built-in moisture barrier that prevents liquids from penetrating fabric and ruining the interior cushions.
Currently, the Slobproof line has 11 pieces, ranging from a sectional sofa to dining chairs to ottomans, all available in various Cryton patterns.The made-in-the-U.S.A line promises to be impervious to the dirt and grime of our lives while remaining clean, dry and looking like new. So, from now, on there's really no need to cry over spilled milk.

I am in the furniture business and am glad to see "family friendly" fabrics being used. Alot of furniture is replaced because it no longer looks good and not because it is worn out.
ReplyNo matter how spill proof the fabric is, if the frame is not kiln-dried hard wood of the same species and properly joined (mortise and tenon is best), legs are reinforced with corner blocks, and if the suspension system stuffings and padding are not good, no upholstered furniture will last.
ReplyDear P. Breen:
You are in luck. Our bench-made furniture starts with all kiln-dried solid maple and meets all Sustainable Forest Initiative requirements. Our furniture is glued, screwed, corner-blocked and made in the USA- in our N.C. factory. We use sinuous spring suspension that's drilled into the frame- no one else does this- and our Y-lux cushions are 2.5 lb per square inch, then wrapped in Dacron, then wrapped in unbleached 100% organic cotton down-ticking. Each frame comes with a lifetime guarantee; each seat cushion comes with a life-time guarantee. We will replace it at no cost if it fails under normal, family wear and tear. No other American manufacturer offers this much consumer protection. Oh, and did I mention, our fabrics all come with a five yr guarantee to be odor-proof, moisture-proof and anti-microbial, plus they are all certified SCS Indoor Advantage Gold.
No manufacturer anywhere in the world offers a warranty on their fabric. We do!
Read our "Fact Sheet" that explains our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint, our commitment to be environmentally responsible with all of our made-in-the-USA materials and our first-in-the industry warranties. You can also watch our in-factory video "How we make Slobproof!" on our website- www.slobproof.com.
No matter how spill-proof the fabric, if the frame of a chair or sofa is not kiln-dried wood of one species and propoerly joined (mortise and tenon is best) , and if the suspension system, fillings and padding are not good, no chair will last.
