Profile
Markets mattress fabrics for bedding and upholstery fabrics for residential, commercial, and hospitality furniture. It sells fabrics made in its own facilities and sourced from third parties through an integrated Culp-branded operating model.
Rooted in an upholstery-fabric converter founded in 1972, the business now markets mattress fabrics for bedding and upholstery fabrics for residential, commercial, and hospitality furniture. Its reportable segments retain the Mattress Fabrics and Upholstery Fabrics names, while Culp Home Fashions and Culp Upholstery Fabrics operate as one Culp-branded model.
Operations combine fabrics made at Culp facilities with third-party sourcing across the United States, China, Haiti, Turkey, and Vietnam. A recent restructuring consolidated capacity and shifted internal weaving toward strategic sourcing. The resulting model depends on a mix of internally produced and sourced fabrics.
