Improvement of the properties of multi-layered fabrics used in the production of mattresses to achieve the best functional performance

الملخص EN

Sleep is a vital and a basic activity of human life and it is a physiological need for human body.

Sleep quality is directly influenced by the comfort conditions of sleep environment.

The purpose of this research is to define the role of textile materials and weave structure used in quilted fabrics to achieve the best functional performance from the human body.

Thermal transmittance, thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, thickness, tensile strength, wicking and air permeability properties of fabrics were analyzed and statistically evaluated.

Comfort is a major concept in the determination of overall life quality as well as sleep quality of a resting person.

Therefore academic studies about thermal comfort prediction of sleep environment and bed surface fabrics are of great importance.

This study investigates conventional mattress ticking fabrics in terms of comfort parameters and defines the important fabric properties on comfort parameters.

The use of mattresses varies widely both in common use in the homes of various sizes , hotels, care homes or (nursing homes) and hospitals, which requires a different set of properties, depending on the functionality of each of them as he does not hide the importance of using medical mattresses because of their therapeutic benefits.
