Welcron Obtains Patent for Body Heat Reflective Bedding Fabric

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon]Welcron announced on the 20th that it has obtained a patent for heating functional bedding products using body heat reflective nonwoven fabric.

The patent covers the manufacturing of bedding fabric by laminating body heat reflective material onto nonwoven fabric during the bedding fabric production process, and producing heating functional bedding products using this fabric. It includes all processes necessary for producing finished bedding products such as the method and equipment for manufacturing body heat reflective nonwoven fabric and the heating functional bedding products.

Body heat reflective fabric, used to enhance warmth, has been widely used in warming shoes and winter outdoor clothing, but there have been few cases of its application in bedding due to washing and durability issues. In particular, when body heat reflective material is simply coated, it results in poor breathability and low drapability (softness of the fabric), making it difficult to use as bedding fabric.

To solve this problem, Welcron developed a manufacturing method and equipment for fabric that forms a certain honeycomb pattern during the lamination process of body heat reflective material onto nonwoven fabric, resulting in body heat reflective nonwoven fabric with excellent washing durability, breathability, and drapability.

By simply inserting this body heat reflective nonwoven fabric into the existing bedding production process, it is possible to produce heating bedding products, reducing costs. Moreover, the high drapability preserves the softness characteristic of bedding while enhancing warmth and static electricity prevention functions compared to regular bedding.

A Welcron representative said, “Last year, we launched the heating bedding ‘Heat Plus’ applying this patented technology to our bedding brands Sesa and Sesa Living, attracting consumer attention,” and added, “We will continue to lead the functional bedding market by applying various advanced materials with cooling and antibacterial functions to bedding.”
