I only found this article ....http://www.furnituretoday.com/article/540029-performance-fabric-suppliers-talk-about-technology-behind-their-products/

I did end up ordering the sofa....the reason being....the couch will give off zero VOCs which is much better than the non-crypton sofas. And i read somewhere that sunbrella is actually worse because it is essentially plastic....

Thank you! I'm about to order one with Crypton, also. Are you happy with the fabric? Which manufacturer did you end up buying from? I'm looking at one from Huntington House.

I just ordered it a week ago so it hasn't come in yet. I went with a Rowe "my style" sectional sofa with a wedge. We will see!! I would love to hear from someone that has Crypton ....

Hi, any updates on your Crypton sofas? Are you happy with them?

According to this article, Crypton is quite dangerous. https://oecotextiles.wordpress.com/2011/03/30/do-you-believe-everything-youre-told/

I ordered a four-seasons crypton fabric sofa. Had the sofa for three days. My husband was wearing black nylon golf pants and the dye transferred onto the sofa seat and the skirt (back of legs). It did not wash out. The store we bought the sofa from also tried to clean it, to no avail. This fabric may be great in many ways, but ironically Crypton does NOT warrant against dye transfer! I was not informed such a thing could happen (I’ve owned many sofas in my time). I am hoping because the sofa was brand new, the company will replace the cushion seat and skirt (slip covered sofa). I believe the fabric is called Mina Snow.

I say, go with non Crypton fabric!

I’m researching this as well because we are having a custom banquette made. As nice as Crypton is for this kind of messy area, the initial research is pretty troubling — and unfortunately, it seems like we’re only a few years into investigating the potential long term effects of these chemicals.

I recommend reading this article about the future of textiles in healthcare. Crypton is discussed specifically on page 16.

Anyway...bummer! I guess we’re all better off just going with more natural materials and just planning to wash/replace. Your health is worth it.

Go leather. Wipes clean in a messy area, lasts 4x longer. Perfect for a banquette.

Natural fabrics are always great, you can't beat a cotton/linen/wool blend, but they tend to be costly.
