1. Product Core Advantages
3D Honeycomb Spacer Structure — Cushioning That Never Flattens
The DF2401 is a warp-knitted sandwich fabric built from a hexagonal mesh face, a dense vertical spacer yarn core, and a solid fine-knit backing. The 5mm air-cushion layer provides soft yet supportive padding for floor mats, thin pads, mattresses, and sofas — and unlike foam that permanently compresses, the vertical yarns spring back to full thickness after every load cycle.
Breathable Air-Channel Core — No Heat, No Sweat, No Odor
The 3D spacer construction creates continuous micro air channels through the fabric, allowing heat and moisture to escape from both sides. On a mattress topper or sofa cushion, this means no trapped heat during sleep or long sitting sessions; on a floor mat, spilled liquids and humidity dry quickly — the fabric stays fresh and hygienic without the dampness that plagues foam and rubber pads.
Lightweight 350gsm — Soft Feel, Easy Handling
At 350 grams per square meter with only 5mm thickness, this fabric is substantially lighter and thinner than equivalent foam layers. It folds, rolls, cuts, and stores easily — ideal for manufacturers producing stackable thin pads, roll-up floor mats, and packable travel mattresses where weight and volume matter.
Wide 205cm Format — Maximum Cutting Efficiency
Supplied at 205cm width, one of the widest formats in its class, this fabric lets mattress and sofa manufacturers cut full-width single panels without seams — eliminating the center seam that weakens and irritates in bedding products. High cutting yield means less waste and lower per-piece material cost across your production line.
Soft, Skin-Friendly Face — Comfort for Direct Contact
The fine hexagonal mesh face has a smooth, low-irritation texture suitable for direct skin contact in mattress toppers and sofa cushions. Available in soft powder blue and silvery grey (plus striped options), the fabric adds a modern, breathable aesthetic while the base knit provides a stable, non-slip interface that keeps the pad in place on the floor or furniture.

3. Application Scenarios
Floor Mats & Door Mats
The 5mm cushioning layer absorbs foot traffic pressure while the open mesh surface allows dirt and moisture to fall through or dry quickly — keeping entry mats, kitchen anti-fatigue mats, and bath mats clean and mold-free. The non-slip knit backing holds the mat in place on hard floors.
Mattress Toppers & Thin Mattresses
As a cooling mattress topper or the comfort layer of a thin mattress, the air-channel core addresses the #1 bedding complaint — sleeping hot. The 205cm width produces a full-width seamless sleeping surface, and the elastic recovery maintains support night after night without the body impressions that foam toppers develop.
Sofa & Seat Cushion Padding
For sofa cushions, seat pads, and back support cushions, the spacer fabric provides springy comfort with ventilation that foam cushions lack. The two-way stretch conforms to body shape while the firm yarn core prevents "bottoming out" — cushions keep their loft through years of daily sitting.
Children's Play & Crawling Mats
The lightweight, washable, non-toxic construction makes it ideal for play mats, crawling mats, and changing pads. Liquids wipe clean, the fabric dries quickly, and the soft cushioning protects little knees — without the off-gassing odor of PVC and EVA foam play mats.
Furniture & Pet Accessories
Cut to shape for sofa armrest protectors, furniture pads, pet beds, and pet crate liners, the fabric offers washable, breathable, chew-resistant comfort. The silvery grey option suits modern furniture palettes while the powder blue brightens pet and nursery applications.

5.FAQ
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Standard MOQ is 500 meters per color. Sample orders (30–100cm swatches) are available for evaluation at any time. Die-cut pad customization starts at 500 units per part number.
Q: Is this fabric suitable for direct skin contact?
A: Yes. The hexagonal mesh face is smooth, breathable, and low-irritation — suitable for direct contact in mattress toppers, sofa cushions, and play mats. The fabric is machine-washable and fast-drying for hygienic use. For medical-grade or flame-retardant specifications, custom treatments are available.
Q: How does this compare to foam for mattress and sofa use?
A: Four decisive advantages: (1) Cooler — the air-channel core prevents heat build-up that foam causes; (2) No body impressions — elastic recovery returns the fabric to full thickness; (3) Lighter and thinner — easier to fold, roll, and store; (4) Washable — foam absorbs moisture and degrades, this fabric machine-washes and dries quickly.
Q: Can you supply cut pieces or finished pads?
A: Yes. We offer die-cut and CNC-cut panels for floor mats, mattress toppers, and sofa cushions, including edge-sealed versions. Finished pads with anti-slip backing or fabric-wrapped edges are also available. Custom cutting requires a 1–2 week tooling lead time.
Q: Does this fabric meet furniture flammability standards?
A: The base fabric is a polyester/spandex warp knit. Fire-retardant (FR) treated versions are available for contract and hospitality furniture applications. Please specify your target standard (e.g., CAL 117, EN 1021) when ordering so we can match the appropriate treatment.
