Crypton® Nomad Snow: Change The Way You Live Your Life

Let’s face it, life gets messy and we have just the solution for it. Your furniture simply needs to withstand life and Sofatica has just that. When it comes to high-performance upholstery, finding the right balance between luxury, durability, and sustainability can be challenging.

That’s where Crypton shines. This remarkable fabric combines elegance with resilience, making it the perfect choice for modern sofas. Whether it’s resisting stains, repelling odors, or standing up to everyday wear and tear, Crypton Nomad Snow is engineered to perform beautifully—year after year.

What is Crypton® Nomad Snow?

Who hasn’t heard of Crypton? Well if you haven’t, don’t worry. Let’s get into the details. Crypton Nomad Snow is a premium-grade upholstery fabric, part of the Crypton Home Collection. Known for its stain-resistant technology and moisture repellence, this fabric is designed to withstand the demands of everyday life while maintaining its aesthetic appeal. With a composition of 92% polyester and 8% linen, it offers the softness of linen with the durability of synthetic fibers.

Material Composition and Technology

The secret behind Crypton Nomad Snow’s performance lies in its immersion process. Unlike traditional upholstery fabrics that rely on surface treatments, each fiber of Crypton Nomad Snow is encapsulated with Crypton’s patented technology. This process locks in moisture resistance, stain repellence, and odor protection at a molecular level, ensuring that the fabric remains resilient even after years of use.

The material's woven texture features a variegated cream and beige pattern with a chenille-like softness. Not only is it designed for comfort, but its structured weave also adds a touch of luxury to any living space.

Key Features of Crypton Nomad Snow

1. Stain Resistance

Crypton Nomad Snow is engineered to repel stains, making spills easy to clean before they set. Whether it's red wine, coffee, or pet mishaps, most stains can be lifted with just water and a clean cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap and water mixture is usually sufficient.

2. Moisture Repellence

One of the standout features of this fabric is its ability to repel moisture. Spills bead up on the surface instead of soaking in, preventing liquid from penetrating the fibers. This is particularly beneficial for families with kids or pets.

3. Odor Resistance

Thanks to its advanced technology, Crypton Nomad Snow resists odors by blocking moisture and bacteria build-up. This keeps the fabric fresh and free of unwanted smells, even after prolonged use.

4. Easy Maintenance

Cleaning Crypton Nomad Snow is effortless. Most everyday stains can be blotted away with water, and more stubborn spots can be handled with an enzyme-based detergent. Its durability allows for repeated cleaning without losing its protective properties.

5. Environmentally Friendly

Crypton fabrics are GREENGUARD® Gold Certified, ensuring low chemical emissions for better indoor air quality. The manufacturing process is also environmentally conscious, aligning with Sofatica's commitment to sustainable living.
