Soft Newborn Baby Sleep Spacer Fabric Skin-Friendly Baby Mesh for Comfortable Rest - Premium Quality Baby Sleep Essentials
Our DF1180TC baby sleep spacer fabric is a soft, skin-friendly 3D air mesh developed for newborn and infant sleeping products. It is warp knitted from a 35% TENCEL lyocell and 65% polyester blend at 300 g/m², so the fabric feels gentle against delicate skin while remaining breathable, stable and easy to handle.
- Overview
- Recommended Products
- Skin-friendly TENCEL blend. A smooth, dry surface next to the skin, ideal for products used for hours at a time.
- Breathable 3D structure. The permanent 2 to 3 mm air channel lets heat and moisture escape instead of being trapped, so babies sleep cooler and drier.
- Better moisture management. TENCEL lyocell absorbs and releases moisture more readily than polyester alone, keeping the fabric comfortable and quick to dry.
- Lightweight at 300 g/m². Sleep mats and pillow inserts stay light, and lower weight reduces freight cost per unit.
- Washable and shape-retaining. The polyester skeleton holds the pile layer, so thickness and shape survive repeated washing - essential for baby products.
- Eco-conscious fibre choice. TENCEL lyocell is a cellulosic fibre made from wood pulp in a closed-loop process - a useful sustainability story for a baby brand.
- Easy to convert. It can be cut, sewn, quilted, laminated and edge-bound, so it fits existing lines for sleep mats, toppers and pillow cores.
- Baby sleep mats, cot mattress cores and breathable mattress toppers.
- Newborn pillow inserts and 3D pillow cores.
- Stroller seat liners, baby carrier padding and nursing cushions.
- Home textile mattresses, pillow shells and mattress borders.
- Pet mats and other skin-contact textile applications.
- Colour: pastel blue, pale green, pink and black are shown as reference colourways; any Pantone or physical swatch can be matched in-house.
- Width: 160 cm and 220 cm as standard, with other widths available on request.
- Weight and thickness: adjustable to suit your target hand feel and end product.
- Function: anti-bacterial, moisture-wicking, anti-odour and flame-retardant finishes can be applied.
- Cut-and-sew: finished 3D sleep mats, pillows and mattress products are available from our home textiles base.
- 250+ advanced warp knitting machines, including 80+ units from German KARL MAYER, producing approximately 900 tons of mesh fabric per month.
- 50,000 m² of production space: 10,000 m² in Changshu and a 40,000 m² plant in Huaian, where Jiangsu Xin Dafa handles dyeing and finishing.
- More than 300 existing pattern designs, plus a dedicated home textiles base for finished 3D mattresses, pillows and borders.
- OEKO-TEX Standard 100, tested and renewed every year - a key requirement for baby and infant textile products.
- ISO 9001 quality, ISO 14001 environmental and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management systems.
- IATF 16949 automotive quality management system for automotive interior projects.
- Factory audits by Sedex, COSTCO and Walmart, carried out annually.
- In-house inspection at every stage, with traceability from incoming yarn to shipment.
1. Product Overview
The three-layer spacer construction - two fine mesh surfaces joined by a resilient pile yarn - keeps the fabric open at 2 to 3 mm, so air continues to move even when a baby is lying on it. Heat and moisture pass through instead of building up under the body - the main concern for sleep mats, mattress cores and pillow inserts in warm or humid climates. TENCEL adds a smooth, dry hand feel and helps manage moisture, while polyester gives the mesh strength and wash durability.
