This is a highly-functional cushion material using the world's first three-dimensional structured fabric. Unique hybrid textile thread we developed containing 96% of air layer in it creates soft and comfortable cushioning function and, although body pressure is supported by point contact, exerts excellent dispersing property of body pressure. We have developed its application in the field of safe livelihood and healthcare such as bed pads, pillows, cushioning material for wheelchairs, etc. We have also proposed its application as a mat for nursing care which contributes to aging society. Since this is made of monofilament polyester fiber, not of natural fiber like cotton or wool, ticks are much less likely to get into it. This is the future-oriented cushion material which can be recycled in time of disposal.

世界初の３次元織物による高機能クッション材です。開発した独自のハイブリッド線材は96％の空気層を有する柔らかく快適なクッション機能を生み出し、点接触によって体圧が支えられるものの優れた体圧分散性を発揮します。用途はベッドパッド、枕、車椅子用クッション等の安全・健康分野への展開です。高齢化社会に貢献する介護用マットとしての提案も進めています。これは綿や羊毛のような天然繊維ではなく、モノフィラメントのポリエステル繊維でできていますので、ダニが中に入り込む可能性はずっと低く、廃棄時もリサイクルが可能な未来型クッション材です。
