Description

Fabric for Mattresses and Method for Manufacturing the Same. The present invention relates to a fabric for a mattress and a method for manufacturing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a fabric for a mattress and a method for manufacturing the same, which can be manufactured in an environmentally friendly manner by simplifying the process, and which exhibits excellent durability, abrasion resistance, thermal insulation, lightness, breathability, antibacterial properties, and shape stability. Recently, as interest in environmental issues grows, the demand for textile products using biodegradable yarn is increasing. In particular, for bedding such as mattresses, it is important to minimize the environmental impact while providing comfort and functionality. Conventional mattress fabrics are primarily manufactured from synthetic fibers, which have a negative impact on the environment after use. Since synthetic fibers are not biodegradable, they remain in the environment for a long time, which can lead to soil and water pollution. Due to these issues, the development of mattress fabrics using yarns made of biodegradable, eco-friendly materials is garnering attention as a sustainable approach that simultaneously considers environmental protection and user health. However, biodegradable yarns generally have poor durability, shape stability, and other physical properties, so solving these problems remains an important challenge. In particular, shape stability is essential for mattresses, as they must support the user's body weight and maintain their shape even during long-term use. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for mattress fabrics and manufacturing methods that can simplify the process, be manufactured in an environmentally friendly manner, and possess excellent durability, abrasion resistance, thermal insulation, lightness, breathability, antibacterial properties, and shape stability.

FIG. 2 illustrates one embodiment of a mattress fabric according to the present invention that constitutes the top plate of a mattress. FIG. 3 illustrates biodegradable polyethylene fibers constituting a mattress fabric according to the present invention. FIG. 4 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a hollow fiber constituting a mattress fabric according to the present invention. FIG. 5 illustrates a flowchart relating to a method for manufacturing a mattress fabric according to the present invention. Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein and may be embodied in other forms. Rather, the embodiments introduced herein are provided to ensure that the disclosed content is thorough and complete, and to ensure that the spirit of the invention is sufficiently conveyed to those skilled in the art. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals indicate the same components. FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment of a mattress to which a mattress fabric according to the present invention is applied, FIG. 2 illustrates one embodiment of a mattress fabric according to the present invention constituting the top plate of the mattress, FIG. 3 illustrates a biodegradable polyethylene fiber constituting the mattress fabric according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a hollow fiber constituting the mattress fabric according to the present invention. A mattress (M) is a basic device designed for comfortable sleep, and is made soft by mainly using elastic materials such as springs or sponges so that the user can sleep comfortably. Generally, a mattress (M) is composed of an upper plate (100a), a lower plate (100b), and a side plate (100c). The top plate (100a) is the uppermost part of the mattress (M) and can come into direct contact with the user's skin. It may have an uneven surface (101) formed to provide breathability and fine support in accordance with the curves of the body. The bottom plate (100b) is the lower part of the mattress (M) and comes into contact with the floor. It supports the mattress (M) and protects internal structures. The side plate (100c) determines the thickness and shape of the mattress (M) and serves to support the mattress (M) overall. The mattress fabric (100) is a fiber material that covers the entire outer surface of the top plate (100a), bottom plate (100b), and side plate (100c) of the mattress (M), and the mattress fabric (100) is required to have various physical properties such as durability, abrasion resistance, thermal insulation, lightness, breathability, antibacterial properties, and shape stability. A fabric (100) for a mattress according to the present invention is formed by weaving a weft yarn (110) arranged in a horizontal direction and a wa
