New IQ FR Inlay Offers Chemical-Free, Built-In Fire Protection for Mattress Covers
According to a news article in Furniture World, Precision Textiles has launched IQ FR Inlay, a patented flame-resistant (FR) yarn designed to integrate directly into circular knit mattress fabrics, eliminating the need for separate FR barriers. Partnering with Culp Home Fashions, the companies aim to revolutionize bedding safety with chemical-free FR protection that enhances breathability, weight efficiency, and cost-effectiveness while meeting CFR 1633 safety standards.
According to Scott Tesser, CEO of Precision Textiles, this all-in-one FR solution simplifies manufacturing while maintaining fabric quality and performance. Tommy Bruno, President of Culp Home Fashions, emphasized the transformative impact of this technology on the bedding industry. With multiple sourcing locations and sustainable materials, the IQ FR Inlay is set to drive widespread industry adoption.
