Application of non-woven fabric in sofas
As a sofa manufacturer, you understand the importance of sturdy, durable, and comfortable fabrics for your sofa manufacturing. Non woven fabric is a fiber structured product made from polypropylene, polyester, and other main raw materials through non-woven technology. It has excellent waterproof, breathable, and antibacterial properties, which can effectively protect the health and comfort of users. Non woven fabrics are widely used in various fields, such as healthcare, hygiene, agriculture, construction, etc. In sofa production, non-woven fabric is mainly used as filling material and bottom fabric for sofas.
The advantages of non-woven fabric in sofas
Before we discuss this issue, we need to clarify the meaning of “non-woven fabric” again. Non woven fabric is a type of non-woven material made by directly bonding fibers together through thermal or chemical bonding. Due to its overall network structure, it is also known as non-woven fabric. Non woven fabric has a high density, a soft touch, and is not easily damaged, making it very suitable for use in household items. In sofas, non-woven fabric is often used as a cover material at the bottom of the sofa, which can provide protection and aesthetics. The non-woven fabric covering the bottom of the sofa can play the following roles:
1. Dust and insect prevention: Due to the inability to regularly clean and disinfect the bottom of the sofa, the shielding effect of non-woven fabric can effectively prevent dust and insects from entering the bottom of the sofa, keeping the interior of the sofa clean and hygienic.
2. Concealed clutter: Some families store miscellaneous items such as shoes, cardboard boxes, etc. under the sofa. By covering with non-woven fabric, not only can these debris be concealed, but the entire bottom of the sofa can also look neater.
3. Aesthetic decoration: Non woven fabric has excellent properties such as not being easily worn, easy to cut and sew, and can be made into various colors and patterns of covering cloth, making the bottom of the sofa look more beautiful.
Why is the bottom of the sofa covered with nonwoven fabric?
1. Protect the interior of the sofa: The bottom of the sofa is an important component of the sofa, which stores the sofa’s frame and filling material inside. If there is no cover at the bottom of the sofa, the frame and filling of the sofa are easily damaged by dust, insects, moisture, etc., which reduces the service life of the sofa.
2. Beautify the appearance of the sofa: The skeleton and filling at the bottom of the sofa are usually messy. If not covered, it not only creates visual discomfort, but also affects the overall aesthetics of the sofa.
3. Preventing water splashes: Due to the sofa being placed in a home environment, it may sometimes be splashed with water. If there is no cover at the bottom of the sofa, water stains will directly seep into the inside of the sofa, contaminating the seat cushion and filling.
Common bottom non-woven fabric materials
PP non-woven fabric
PP non-woven fabric is produced from polypropylene as raw material. It has good characteristics such as breathability, water resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. Compared to other materials, PP non-woven fabric is not easily deformed, does not withstand high temperatures, and has a longer service life. Therefore, PP non-woven fabric is suitable for most furniture bottoms, especially sofa bottoms.
PET non-woven fabric
PET non-woven fabric is made by melt spinning polyester. It has excellent tear resistance, water resistance, cold resistance, corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance. PET non-woven fabric is close to PP non-woven fabric in terms of service life and price, and its main feature is relatively more environmentally friendly.
PA non-woven fabric
PA non-woven fabric is made from nylon 6 fiber as raw material. It has excellent tensile strength, corrosion resistance, water resistance, and high temperature resistance, as well as high strength and good breathability. In addition, PA non-woven fabric has excellent protective properties and is an ideal bottom material suitable for furniture, car seats, etc.
Blended non-woven fabric
Blended non-woven fabric is made by mixing short fibers and long fibers of different materials (such as polyester, polypropylene, etc.). It combines various characteristics, including softness, breathability, water resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. Blended non-woven fabric is relatively cheap in price, but its service life and heat resistance are slightly inferior.
In short, non-woven fabric is an excellent sofa filling material and bottom fabric. Its advantages in waterproofing, breathability, environmental friendliness, and price make it a commonly used material in sofas.
How to choose the most durable bottom non-woven fabric material
1. Consider the usage environment: When choosing bottom non-woven fabric, it is necessary to consider the usage environment. For example, if it is exposed to sunlight for a long time, polyester fiber material bottom non-woven fabric can be selected.
2. Pay attention to quality: The quality of bottom non-woven fabrics produced by different manufacturers varies greatly. It is recommended to conduct more research and purchase products from high-quality and reputable manufacturers to ensure material durability.
3. Pay attention to the price: Bottom non-woven fabrics with relatively low prices may not be durable. It is necessary to choose materials with high cost-effectiveness within a reasonable budget.
In general, different non-woven fabric materials have their own advantages, and the appropriate model should be selected according to needs and scenarios. Regardless of the model, non-woven fabric at the bottom of the sofa plays a very important role. It can increase the strength and stability of the sofa, extend its service life, and protect the ground from scratches.
Dongguan Liansheng Non woven Technology Co., Ltd. was established in May 2020. It is a large-scale non-woven fabric production enterprise integrating research and development, production, and sales. It can produce various colors of PP spunbond non-woven fabrics with a width of less than 3.2 meters from 9 grams to 300 grams.
