Phifer's multi-tasking performance fabrics the ideal choice for hospital settings, high-traffic areas


TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Lengthy wait times aside, it’s an unfortunate fact – traditional hospital waiting rooms are cold, sterile, uncomfortable…anything but welcoming.  

Liven up bland hospital spaces and create a warm, soothing atmosphere with Phifer’s Designed Fabrics, a sprawling collection comprised of sleek Phifertex® sling and cozy GeoBella® cushion fabrics bursting with color, comfort and style. As durable as they are chic, this performance fabric collection serves up function and brawn 24/7 to withstand endless abuse from patients and visitors. Phifer’s Designed Fabrics are also stain resistant, moisture-wicking and easy to clean, even with bleach, the perfect line of defense against inevitable coffee and soda spills in high traffic areas.

Breathe a little easier knowing there’s an extra layer of cleanliness protection at work – Phifertex fabrics are infused with Microban® antimicrobial product protection. On unprotected fabrics, microbes can double in number every 20 minutes! Built into the fabric during the manufacturing process, Microban provides lasting protection that won’t wash off or wear away for the lifetime of the fabric and works continuously, keeping fabrics fresher and cleaner for longer. Phifer is the only furniture fabric manufacturer with unique Microban product protection. 

GeoBella – beautiful, earth-friendly fabrics – is Phifer’s unique line of high-end, performance cushion fabrics made from recycled yarns. Touchably soft, these 100 percent recyclable furniture fabrics mirror the comfort of indoor furniture yet have the stability, strength and durability needed for high traffic applications. 

 

For additional peace of mind, both the Phifertex and GeoBella fabric collections are GREENGUARD Gold certified to GREENGUARD standards for low chemical emissions into indoor air during product usage.
