HeiQ, Culp introduce allergen-reducing technology to upholstery

HeiQ, a pioneer in textile innovation, has partnered with Culp to apply HeiQ Allergen Tech, a 100% biobased solution that reduces allergens on textiles, to interior upholstery fabric. The expanded application of HeiQ Allergen Tech by HeiQ marks a unique entry into the interior upholstered furniture market, demonstrating their commitment to bringing the benefits of biobased textile technology to this segment.

HeiQ Allergen Tech is now being offered by Culp Upholstery Fabrics, a division of Culp, Inc., to manufacturers of upholstered furniture. This collaboration aims to extend the proven benefits of HeiQ Allergen Tech beyond bedrooms to all living spaces. Culp will exclusively supply HeiQ Allergen Tech enhanced interior upholstery fabrics to markets such as the Americas, enabling consumers to enjoy the benefits of this innovative technology.

HeiQ Allergen Tech effectively combats allergens from dust mites and pet dander in textiles using active probiotics, making it suitable for application in upholstered furniture, which is often not washed regularly. This naturally derived technology continuously cleans treated fabrics, reducing allergens and creating a more comfortable living environment.
