CULP

Culp Inc

A maker of fabrics for the home, Culp supplies the woven and printed upholstery materials that cover sofas and chairs, plus ticking and knit fabrics for mattresses and bedding. It was founded in 1972 in High Point, North Carolina, when Robert G. Culp Jr. and his son Robert III started R.G. Culp & Associates, taking orders from furniture and mattress makers and arranging for mills to produce the cloth. Today the family name lives on in its "Culp Home Fashions" division, and in 2023 the company introduced a wellness fabric line with infrared technology it describes as turning furniture into a "charging station" for the body.
