Changshu Dafa Warp Knitting Successfully Showcases Breathable Baby Products at CBME 2026

Shanghai, China — Changshu Dafa Warp Knitting Co., Ltd., a high-tech enterprise specializing in 3D spacer (sandwich mesh) fabrics since 1993, successfully concluded its participation in the 25th Children Baby and Maternity Products Industry Expo (CBME 2026), held July 15–17, 2026 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Shanghai. At Booth 5-1J43, the company welcomed brand owners, distributors and industry professionals from around the world and presented its latest innovations in breathable baby and maternity products.

About Changshu Dafa Warp Knitting Co., Ltd.

Founded in 1993, Changshu Dafa Warp Knitting Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise with a complete in-house industrial chain covering research and development, warp knitting, dyeing and finishing. The company specializes in 3D spacer fabric, also known as sandwich mesh fabric, and produces a wide range of mesh textiles in polyester, cotton and nylon. Its fabric range spans thicknesses from 1.5mm to 40mm and widths from 110cm to 260cm, allowing customers to select the structure, weight and hand feel that best suit each application. All fabrics are engineered for elasticity and breathability, with a strong emphasis on durability, comfort and easy care.

What is 3D Spacer Fabric?

3D spacer fabric is a three-dimensional knitted structure made of two separate face layers connected by spacer yarns. The vertical filaments joining the two surfaces create an airy middle layer that keeps the fabric thick, stable and highly breathable. Because air can move freely through the structure, moisture and heat are released quickly, which helps the material stay comfortable against the skin and dry fast. The same structure provides cushioning and compression recovery, so the fabric keeps its shape after repeated use and washing. These characteristics explain why 3D spacer fabric is widely used in baby and maternity products, footwear, furniture, automotive interiors and healthcare applications.

Breathable Baby Products in the Spotlight

The centerpiece of the DAFA booth was its Baby Breathable Products line, developed around the everyday needs of infants and their parents. The range included:

Breastfeeding pillows

• — an ergonomic C-shaped design made from breathable mesh with a star pattern, providing airflow and comfortable support during feeding;

Cuddling nests (maternity body pillows)

• — a flexible, wrap-around design offering gentle full-body support for expectant mothers;

Baby nests

• — compact, softly padded nests that create a secure and familiar space for newborns;

Breathable baby pillows and soft cushions

• — lightweight cushioning products designed for daily comfort and air circulation;

Bumpers

• — padded crib protection made with breathable mesh to help maintain airflow around the sleeping area;

Washable crib mattresses

• — easy-care mattresses that can be washed and reused, supporting a clean sleeping environment;

Cooling blankets

• — lightweight blankets designed with a cooling surface to help regulate temperature in warmer conditions.

Every item in the baby line is resilient, bacteriostatic, quick-dry and easy to clean, and is certified OEKO-TEX CLASS 1 skin-friendly — the highest safety standard for textiles that come into direct contact with infants.

A Complete Mesh Fabric Collection

Alongside the finished baby products, DAFA displayed its full mesh fabric collection, giving visitors a clear view of the raw materials behind each product. The collection included Tencel mesh fabric, cotton mesh fabric, bamboo mesh fabric, jacquard mesh fabric and antibacterial mesh fabric. Each fabric family is available in a range of compositions, thicknesses and colors, and can be adapted to different end uses. Sample swatches in a broad color palette were on display so that buyers could compare texture, weight and drape side by side.

Certifications and Quality Assurance

Quality and compliance remain central to DAFA's operations. The company's products and management systems are supported by a comprehensive set of international certifications, including:

OEKO-TEX Standard 100

• confirming that the fabrics have been tested for harmful substances and are safe for skin contact;

Global Recycled Standard (GRS)

• covering recycled content in the supply chain;

Tencel™ (Lenzing) certification

• verifying the use of certified Tencel™ fibers;

ISO 9001:2015

This certification framework has helped DAFA become a long-term supply partner to international retailers including COSTCO and Walmart.

Applications That Benefit from Breathable Mesh

The properties of 3D spacer fabric make it suitable for a broad range of products. In the baby and maternity segment, it is used in pillows, mattresses, bumpers and cooling blankets. Beyond that segment, the material is widely applied in footwear linings and insoles, upholstered furniture, automotive seat covers and interior components, as well as healthcare products such as pressure-relief cushions and orthopedic supports. For buyers, this versatility means that a single, well-certified material source can support multiple product lines at the same time.

Three Days of Buyer Engagement

Over the three days of CBME 2026, the DAFA booth hosted continuous discussions with brand owners, trading companies, distributors and sourcing teams. Among the topics raised most often by visitors were the OEKO-TEX CLASS 1 certification of the baby line, the washable and quick-dry properties of the fabrics, and the possibility of customizing thickness, width, color and pattern for specific projects. The team also used the event to explain how OEM and ODM cooperation works, from sample development and material selection through to bulk production.

Looking Ahead

Following the successful close of CBME 2026, DAFA will continue to expand its baby and maternity product range and to develop new mesh structures for partners in other industries. Buyers who were unable to attend the show, or who would like to discuss a specific requirement, are welcome to contact the company's sales team. Product catalogs, fabric samples and certification documents are available on request, and the team is glad to advise on the most suitable material for each application. Changshu Dafa Warp Knitting looks forward to building long-term partnerships and to meeting customers again at the next edition of CBME.
