What CULP INC does

In the company’s own words

Culp, Inc. (Nasdaq: CULP) operates as one of the largest marketers of mattress fabrics for bedding and upholstery fabrics for residential, commercial, and hospitality furniture in North America. The company maintains its corporate website at www.culp.com and serves a global customer base of leading bedding and furniture manufacturers through both internally manufactured products and strategically sourced fabrics from external suppliers.

The company operates through two reportable segments: bedding and upholstery. In fiscal 2026, the bedding segment generated 57 percent of total net sales at $116.6 million, while the upholstery segment contributed 43 percent at $86.9 million, for combined total net sales of $203.5 million. The bedding segment manufactures and markets knitted fabrics, woven jacquard fabrics, converted fabrics, and sewn mattress covers to bedding manufacturers. The upholstery segment markets fabrics for residential, commercial, and hospitality furniture applications, along with window treatment products and installation services through its Read Window Products subsidiary.

Culp operates manufacturing and distribution facilities in North Carolina, Shanghai China, and Ouanaminthe Haiti, with additional sourcing relationships in Turkey, Vietnam, and other locations. The company maintains a flexible global manufacturing and sourcing platform designed to provide customers with supply chain optionality across multiple jurisdictions. The bedding segment operates a primary manufacturing facility in Stokesdale, North Carolina, and a sewn mattress cover operation in Haiti. The upholstery segment operates design and quality control facilities in Shanghai and maintains distribution capabilities across multiple regions.

The company differentiates itself through sustained focus on creativity and product innovation, supported by an innovation campus launched in High Point, North Carolina, that combines design, innovation, and sales teams from both segments. Culp emphasizes reliable customer service, product performance characteristics including stain-resistance and cooling properties, and design flexibility. The business model has evolved to leverage strategic sourcing relationships while maintaining control over value-added functions such as design, finishing, quality control, and logistics. This approach reduces capital intensity while preserving competitive advantages in a market driven by fashion, performance, and price competition.
