100% Polyester 3D Air Mesh Seat Cushion Fabric for Furniture & Car

1. Product Overview

At 230 gsm and approximately 2-3 mm thick, DF1824 keeps a low, tailored profile while still delivering the resilience and recovery a seat cushion demands. The fabric is engineered to dry quickly and is finished for anti-bacterial performance, making it a practical choice for high-contact, high-traffic environments such as office seating, vehicle interiors and public furniture. It is supplied at 220 cm usable width and can be dyed or printed to your target colour, backed by our own in-house warp knitting, dyeing and finishing lines.

3. Key Features and Buyer Benefits

• 3D breathable architecture. The three-dimensional interlock structure creates continuous vertical air channels, so air circulates through the cushion rather than sitting on its surface. Seating stays cooler and noticeably less humid during extended use.
• Quick-dry performance. Moisture moves away from the contact surface and evaporates rapidly, which shortens drying time after cleaning or spillage and reduces the risk of damp, musty odour in the finished product.
• Anti-bacterial finish. The fabric is treated for anti-bacterial performance, helping to suppress bacterial growth and odour development in warm, humid conditions - an important selling point for healthcare, office and transportation seating.
• Eco-friendly and skin-safe. Made from 100% polyester and certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 on an annual basis, giving your brand documented confidence that the fabric is free from harmful substances for products that come into direct human contact.
• Stable and predictable shrinkage. Standard washing shrinkage is around -5%, with a customizable low-shrink option of -3% for applications that require tighter dimensional control at the cutting table.
• Reliable colour fastness. Colour fastness grade 3~4 ensures the dyed or printed surface holds its appearance through normal use and washing, keeping batch-to-batch colour consistent for repeat orders.
• Fully customizable construction. Mesh-hole or jacquard weave patterns, custom thickness, weight and width are all available, so the same base fabric can be tuned to different cushion builds and price points.
• Ready for cut-and-sew. Our machining services cover cutting, sewing and other conversion work, allowing buyers to receive semi-finished or finished cushion components rather than roll goods only.

4. Where This Fabric Performs Best

DF1824 was developed for seat cushioning, but its combination of breathability, quick-dry behaviour and anti-bacterial finishing suits a wide range of end products:

• Furniture seating: office chairs, meeting-room chairs, dining and lounge seating, upholstered bench and stools.
• Automotive interiors: seat cushion overlays, seat-back ventilation panels and interior trim components.
• Public and transport seating: waiting-area seating, auditorium and stadium seats, bus and rail passenger seating.
• Bedding and comfort products: mattress comfort layers, toppers, pillows, baby mats and stroller pads.
• Luggage, footwear and sportswear: padded back panels, straps, linings and breathable inserts.
• Healthcare and wellness: cushion and support surfaces where easy cleaning and moisture control matter.

5. Customization and Finishing Options

As a vertically integrated 3D spacer fabric manufacturer, we can adjust the material at any stage of production. Available options include:

• Colour: piece dyeing or printing to your shade, with lab-dip approval before bulk production.
• Surface design: mesh-hole patterns, jacquard weaves and custom structures developed from your drawings.
• Construction: thickness from 1.5 mm to 40 mm and width from 110 cm to 260 cm across our spacer fabric range.
• Functional finishes: moisture-wicking, anti-odour, anti-bacterial, flame-retardant, water-repellent and cooling finishes.
• Conversion services: cutting, sewing and finished-product assembly for cushion, pad and cover applications.

6. Quality Assurance and Certifications

Every order is produced under a documented quality system. Our management systems are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, and our fabrics are tested to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 on an annual basis. Our factories are audited every year by Sedex, Costco and Walmart, and we participate in amfori BSCI. We also work as a partner with Lenzing. Colour fastness, shrinkage and physical performance are verified against the agreed specification before shipment, and inspection reports are available on request.

7. About Changshu Dafa Warp Knitting Co., Ltd.

Established in 1993, Changshu Dafa Warp Knitting Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise specialising in 3D spacer fabric, also known as sandwich mesh fabric. Over three decades of steady development we have built a complete industrial chain that supports customers from a single source: product R&D, warp knitting, heat-setting, dyeing and finishing, through to finished-product manufacturing.

Our 3D warp-knitted spacer fabrics are produced from polyester, cotton, nylon, rayon and specialty fibres. Depending on the raw material or the finishing process selected, the fabric can be given moisture-wicking, anti-odour, anti-bacterial, flame-retardant, water-repellent or cooling performance. Across the range, thickness spans 1.5 mm to 40 mm and width spans 110 cm to 260 cm, with the balanced elasticity, breathability and easy-washability that buyers expect from a genuine 3D spacer construction.

Head office and production base: No. 110 Longting Road, Yangyuan, Changshu, Jiangsu Province, P.R. China. Products are sold both in China and overseas markets.

8. Production Capacity and Global Supply

Capacity is what separates a stable supplier from a seasonal one. Our factory operates 250 warp knitting machines in gauges G12, G16, G18, G22, G24 and G28, of which 60 machines are Karl Mayer units, giving us a monthly output of approximately 900 tons of spacer fabric. Because we own our dyeing house and finishing lines, we control colour consistency, hand-feel and delivery timing instead of depending on third-party processors. Our sewing workshop adds the conversion capacity to supply cut and sewn cushion components.

Our export market extends throughout Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Asia. Buyers receive one technical contact for specification, one point of accountability for quality, and a production schedule that scales from trial order to repeat bulk volume.
