Japan’s Teijin is presenting a range of products and solutions focused on comfort and ecology, including mattresses, comforters, pillows and other bedding items, at next week’s Heimtextil show in Frankfurt (January 14-17).
Among them will be Elk – a lightweight, durable, cushiony and breathable material that serves as an excellent substitute for polyurethane in a range of cushioning applications, such as mattresses. It is also environmentally friendly because it doesn’t generate cyanogen gas when incinerated.
Also on show will be comforters and pillows made with Solotex, a partially bio-derived polytrimethylene terephthalate fibre that is exceptionally soft, stretchable, shape-retaining and resilient.
A variety of high-performance polyester fibres for filling which will be on display include the highly soft feeling Fwaline and ultra-light Aerotop, a polyester that is almost 50% hollow.
