Mattresses on the retail floor typically need extra care and attention. Since most are white or lightly colored, they tend to get dingy over time, become discolored, or start pilling due to store visitors. New innovations in textiles are changing the game when it comes to the look and feel of mattress fabrics, and retailers can reap the benefits.

At Culp Home Fashions, business is far more than work: it is a place to cultivate relationships, grow in our talents, and thrive in our industry.

Copper is element #29 in the Period Table. According to the Royal Society of Chemistry, it is an essential human element that helps enzymes transfer energy in cells. Its most popular uses are for electrical equipment and construction, yet because of its unique properties, it is now used in textiles.

This enables the copper technology to become a homogenous part of the fiber matrix, and when used on a mattress, it can help bring wellness to sleep.

Mattresses and box springs are now seen as an extension of the furniture in the room, which should reflect the style of the consumer.

The average person will spend one-third of their life asleep, making mattresses crucial to our happiness and well-being.

You will spend one third of your life sleeping and we know that where you rest makes all the difference. We thrive on creating quality products to ensure that our customers receive premium comfort and durability.
