What is Cubit™
Cubit™ offers durability, resilience, ventilation, insulation, and ease of care, making it the ideal material for car seats, office chairs, bed pads, and a wide variety of other applications. Its unique 3D honeycomb structure makes it a suitable replacement for polyurethane and other cushioning materials, allowing for optimum support and comfort. It is available in black or white colors, various thicknesses, and woven patterns to suit application needs.
Why use Cubit™
Cubit™ is a unique 3D (3-layer) warp-knitted fabric with Polyester, Nylon, or PTT options as the middle layer. The three-layered, warp-knitted structure of Cubit™ gives it various functional advantages over traditional weaves that can provide new levels of comfort because of how air is captured, stored, and released. The combination of three different stitch types gives Cubit™ its unique properties: chain stitches for longitudinal elongation, satin stitches for transverse mobility, and inlay stitches for extension recovery. The PTT middle layer has exceptional elasticity and can return to its original structure even after applying pressure 250,000 times, giving Cubit™ a spring-like nature and excellent durability.
Advantages of PTT Yarn
- Corn derived-resin
- Excellent softness and high stretchability
- The zigzag structure and crystalline conformation give PTT fibers remarkable elastic & recovery features unlike any other materials in the market.
Advantages of Nylon (PA6) Yarn
- Maintains cushioning properties longer than Polyester
- Better repetitive compressive residual strain performance vs. Polyester
- Elegant cushioning thanks to Nylon yarn’s flexibility & mechanical properties

Unique Properties of Cubit™
Insulation
With the variable patterned outer covering layers, air is entrapped within its 3D structure, providing highly effective cushioned insulation for warmth and comfort.
Ventilation (Breathability)
Even under load and low weight, the open Cubit™ structure "breathes" freely, promoting an unrestricted, multi-directional movement of air in large quantities through the 3D structure. Provides fresh, dry, cool comfort in seats, mattresses, and pads.
Resiliency
The unique properties of monofilaments that interlink and brace the 3D structure provide high resiliency, outstanding impact resistance, and excellent rebound elasticity.
Durability
Advanced materials, processes, and knitting technologies provide outstanding durability, resilience, and cushioning.
Ease of Care
Lightweight, stain resistant, readily washable, quick drying.
