Whether Mattress Ticking Fabric has anti-mite, antibacterial or waterproof functions depends mainly on its material, process and coating technology. The following are detailed answers to these questions:
Anti-mite function
How to achieve anti-mite function
Dense weaving: Some mattress fabrics use high-density weaving technology to make the pores of the fabric very small, which effectively prevents mites from penetrating.
Special coating: By adding anti-mite coating (such as microcapsule technology) on the surface of the fabric, the growth and reproduction of mites can be inhibited.
Natural materials: Some natural fibers (such as bamboo fiber and linen) have certain anti-mite properties and can reduce the breeding of mites.
Is anti-mite function needed?
If there are people with allergies in the family (such as asthma patients or people with sensitive skin), it is very important to choose mattress fabrics with anti-mite function.
Anti-mite fabrics are usually used in hotels, hospitals and other places with high hygiene requirements.
Precautions
The anti-mite effect is not permanent and may gradually weaken over time, so regular cleaning and maintenance are required.
Anti-mite function is usually combined with other protective functions (such as antibacterial and waterproof) to improve overall performance.
Antibacterial function
How to achieve antibacterial function
Antibacterial treatment: During the production process, mattress fabrics may be treated with antibacterial agents (such as silver ions, copper ions or plant extracts), which can inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi.
Natural fiber: Some natural materials (such as bamboo fiber, organic cotton) have antibacterial properties. For example, the "Zhukun" component in bamboo fiber can inhibit the reproduction of microorganisms.
Functional coating: By coating the surface of the fabric with an antibacterial layer, its antibacterial properties can be further enhanced.
Is antibacterial function needed?
In a humid environment, mattresses are prone to become breeding grounds for bacteria and mold, so antibacterial function is particularly important.
Antibacterial fabrics are suitable for use in homes, hotels, hospitals and other scenes that require high hygiene standards.
Precautions
The antibacterial effect may weaken with the increase in the number of washings, so it is recommended to change the sheets regularly and keep the mattress clean.
When choosing antibacterial mattress fabrics, you should pay attention to whether they have passed relevant certifications (such as OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 or ISO antibacterial tests).
Waterproof function
How to achieve waterproof function
Waterproof coating: Some mattress fabrics will add waterproof coating (such as polyurethane film) on the back or surface to prevent liquid from penetrating into the mattress.
Breathable waterproof membrane: High-end mattress fabrics often use breathable waterproof membrane technology (such as TPU membrane), which can block liquid penetration while maintaining good breathability.
Multi-layer structure: Some mattress fabrics are composed of multiple layers of materials, one of which is specially designed as a waterproof barrier without affecting comfort.
Is waterproof function needed?
For families with children, pets or the elderly, waterproof function is very important, which can effectively prevent accidental spills (such as drinks, urine) from contaminating the mattress.
Waterproof fabrics are also widely used in public places such as hotels and hospitals to extend the service life of mattresses.
Precautions
Waterproof fabrics may reduce breathability, so you need to choose products with breathable membranes to avoid stuffiness.
Waterproof coatings may wear out due to long-term use or frequent washing, so they need to be checked and maintained regularly.
When choosing, decisions should be made based on actual needs (such as the health status of family members, the use environment, etc.) and the quality certification of the product.
