Spills, claws, and snack-heavy movie nights. Our performance fabrics can take it.

Real life is messy. Your sofa shouldn't be the thing you worry about.
Stain resistant
Red wine, spaghetti sauce, birthday cake. In our tests, they lifted right out.
Scratch resistant
We tested our fabric with 3D-printed claws. It held up to over 2,000 scratches in the same spot without showing wear.
Easy to clean
Most everyday spills blot away with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Made for the Mess
Performance fabrics that stand up to juice, crumbs, and whatever that was, and still feel soft and delightful to sit on.
Tested past the point of reason
Most brands stop at the industry standard. We kept going. We simulated 300 pounds landing on a Burrow seat 50,000 times, which works out to sitting down more than 10 times a day for 10 years. The cushions lost less than half an inch. Then we dropped a 500-pound weight onto the seat from a foot up, and dropped a frame 10 feet onto concrete. It still didn't break.
