Eco-Performance Fabric: Durability Meets Eco-Friendliness

We understand that parenting is filled with imperfect moments – from spills to unexpected accidents – and we also know that many of us hope to protect the planet as we build a future for our little ones. That’s why we’ve worked to offer a fabric option that prioritizes these two needs in one trusted fabric.

What is Eco Fabric? 

Eco fabric refers to textiles that are designed to be environmentally friendly and are often made from sustainable, recycled, or organic materials. Our eco fabric is made from at least 30% recycled materials.

What is Eco-Performance Fabric? 

Eco-performance fabric is also a more sustainable fabric option that has all the features of an eco fabric but can offer additional benefits like durability, moisture resistance, and stain resistance. Our eco-performance fabric is crafted from sustainable yarn made from recycled water bottles. The yarn is then encapsulated with a finish that can be stain-resistant and/or water-repellent for exceptional cleanability. Depending on your style preference, you can enjoy the benefits of our performance fabric in a variety of textures and weaves, each offering the same trusted stain-resistance and durability you can count on.
