Breathable 3D Air Mesh Fabric for Automotive Seat Ventilation

Automotive seat ventilation mesh overview

Automotive seat ventilation mesh is a 3D spacer knit designed to create stable air channels inside the seat cushion and backrest. The sandwich structure provides breathable cushioning and rapid heat/moisture dissipation under leather, PVC or fabric skins. Compared with foam-only stacks, it keeps airflow more consistent while maintaining comfort, rebound and dimensional stability over long-term use.

Key features

• High airflow 3D channels — open cells enable seat ventilation and faster heat release.
• Pressure distribution — spacer loft cushions bony areas and reduces hot spots.
• Resilient & low compression set — retains thickness after repeated loading.
• Lamination-ready — compatible with flame lamination and hot-melt webs/films; easy to die-cut.
• Durable — abrasion- and tear-resistant spacer knit for high-touch interiors.
• Sustainability options — single-polymer builds and recyclable polyester available.

Applications

• Seat cushions and backrests with active or passive ventilation
• Localized airflow layers beneath decorative skins
• Comfort pads for armrests, headrests and center consoles

Specifications & customization

• Composition: 100% polyester spacer knit
• Thickness (loft): 10–20 mm (custom lofts available)
• GSM: approx. 530 gsm (target ranges on request)
• Usable width: 1.65 m (other widths on request)
• Supply forms: roll goods or die-cut parts
• Finishing: heat-setting, edge sealing, labeling and packaging

Processing notes & references

• Verify temperature windows for flame/hot-melt lamination in your process.
• Use sharp tooling for clean die-cuts; light edge sealing helps control fuzz.
• External reference: FMVSS 302 flammability (final compliance to be validated in your assembly).
• Internal link: other car interior fabrics
