Industry guide
Fabrics for Furniture & Automotive Upholstery
Soft, conformable rexine bases for seating and interior trim
Upholstery rexine is stretched over foam, stapled at the frame and sat on every day, and the base fabric carries most of that load. China raise gives the reverse a soft, cloth-like hand, and tricot gives the stretch and recovery that keeps seating smooth over curves. We supply both to rexine manufacturers serving furniture and automotive buyers.
What this application demands
The requirements that decide success
Stretch over curves
Arms, bolsters and car seats need a knitted base that follows the shape without wrinkling.
Comfort against skin
A raised reverse feels warmer and more premium, and reduces the plastic feel of the finished material.
Bond strength
The coating must stay bonded under repeated flexing. The base construction and surface decide the bond.
