Breathair - 3D Cushion Filling

Key Features

BREATHAIR® has many characteristics: air permeability, cushioning characteristics, water permeability, durability, antibacterial properties and it is kind to the environment to name but a few. Mattresses and cushions made with BREATHAIR® are not prone to a build up of sweat and this makes it easy for you to move around and turn over in bed at night. Moreover, BREATHAIR® is widely used in hospitals and care facilities because it is easy to wash and also conforms to SEK standards* to limit the propagation of bacteria. Due to its excellent durability, BREATHAIR® has been adopted for use in the seats on N700 Series Shinkansen trains as well as other train lines and motorcycle seats.

Compression

BREATHAIR® is extremely durable and resistant to compression. When pressure is applied it is distributed evenly, the hollow fibre loops recover quickly to their original shape

Air Permeability

BREATHAIR® easily outperforms polyurethane foam and polyester fiber

Mattress Use

Toyobo uses its skin model method to measure the temperature and humidity between the sleeping body and the mattress.

These mattresses are cool in summer, and when wrapped in a mattress cover they can also retain heat and remain comfortable in winter.

Water Draining & Anti-bacterial Properties

BREATHAIR® is quick to dry and is also washable.  Polyurethane is still not dry 24 hours after becoming wet.

The structure of BREATHAIR® is made up of a series of continuous fibre loops and as such there is no fibre dust which means that it is difficult for bed mites to propagate. In addition, BREATHAIR® has excellent anti-bacterial functions as evidenced by BREATHAIR® meeting SEK standards. As BREATHAIR® is made from polyester-elastomers, even when it burns, the amount of toxic hydrogen cyanide gas released is small.
