Nonwoven Fabrics for Your Home & Office

Success Stories
Manufacturers of home furnishings have developed an array of inventive uses for nonwoven fabrics.


Good mattress = good night™s sleep:

Today's consumers want thicker, yet softer mattresses. A major manufacturer has combined responsive layers of luxury fibers to create an all-fiber comfort and support system. Designed to minimize body impressions by supporting an upper layer of super-soft material with an extremely resilient foundation, this material improves both mattress durability and comfort.

Improving temperature control:
A manufacturer has produced an engineered nonwoven material that features thermal insulation properties similar to down. It holds and releases heat to maintain comfortable body temperature and has superior wear, hand, and drape.

nonwoven home furnishingsTreating windows beautifully:
A major manufacturer has developed a custom roller shade application that allows designer fabric to be ironed on to a fusible backing, trimmed, and attached to a roller. The shade darkens a room while the backing prevents the fabric design from showing through to the outside.

Keeping the bed bugs away:
Several manufacturers have developed engineered nonwoven fabrics that provide excellent barrier properties. When used in mattresses, pillows, and bed linens, they protect allergy sufferers from dust and mites - and are free from potentially harmful chemical additives.

Replacing Textiles:
Engineered nonwoven fabrics have replaced traditional textiles in many upholstered furnishings and bedding applications and have achieved high penetration in many components.
