At Ballam Furniture Gallery, we know that life doesn’t always go as planned — especially when it comes to your furniture. Between kids, pets, guests, and the occasional morning coffee spill, your sofa takes a lot of love and a little bit of chaos. That’s why we love high-performance fabrics like iClean from La-Z-Boy and Defender Fabric from Stylus Made to Order Sofas — they’re designed for real life, not just for show.
What Are High-Performance Fabrics?
High-performance fabrics are specially engineered to repel stains, resist moisture, and stand up to everyday wear — all while feeling soft and luxurious. Unlike traditional upholstery, these fabrics are treated with advanced technology that prevents spills from soaking in. Liquids simply bead up on the surface, so you can wipe them away easily before they set.
These fabrics are a game changer for anyone who wants beautiful, long-lasting furniture that’s also practical for family life, pets, and entertaining.
iClean by La-Z-Boy: Comfort You Don’t Have to Baby
La-Z-Boy’s iClean fabrics combine beauty and durability in one smart design. Each fiber is protected by an invisible barrier that keeps messes from penetrating the fabric. Whether it’s wine, coffee, or a pet mishap, cleanup is as simple as blotting with a paper towel.
Best of all, iClean fabrics come in a wide range of colours and textures, from soft neutrals to bold statement shades, so you never have to sacrifice style for peace of mind.
Defender by Stylus: Canadian-Made and Family-Approved
For those who prefer locally made comfort, Defender Fabric by Stylus Made to Order Sofas offers the same stain-resistant performance with Canadian craftsmanship. Designed to handle everyday use — from family movie nights to muddy paws — Defender keeps your sofa looking fresh, year after year. It’s an ideal choice for family-friendly and pet-friendly homes that still want a touch of modern sophistication.
Style, Comfort, and Peace of Mind
With today’s high-performance fabrics, you no longer have to choose between beauty and practicality. These innovative materials let you enjoy designer looks that live beautifully, even in the busiest households.
At Ballam Furniture Gallery, we’re proud to offer La-Z-Boy iClean and Stylus Defender options across many of our sofas, chairs, and sectionals — so you can create a space that’s both stunning and stress-free.
