Spacer Fabric
In products where comfort is critical we work with a high-tech textile with unique characteristics – the spacer fabric.
Spacer fabrics are fibre composites of two textile outer layers kept in a defined distance by an inner layer of monofilament threads. The profile resembles a sandwich structure. The open structure of the inner layer allows perfect air circulation and it also helps to quickly remove moisture equalling complete ventilation and guaranteed comfort when sitting and resting.
This three-dimensional fabric offers outstanding comfort and stability because of its elasticity and pressure distribution. The pressure of your body is absorbed at the point of contact and is not distributed widely over the surface. This distinct point elasticity delivers a body-fit and smooth, comfortable resting.
The following characteristics sum up why spacer fabrics are used in SKYliving products:
- Excellent air circulation in all directions; even under pressure
- Well suited for padding
- Ultra light
- Highly ductile
- Durable
- Recyclable
- Öko-Tex Standard 100 certified
