In the furniture industry, seagrass is used as a substitute for rattan and a filler for upholstering bedding and upholstered furniture.
Seaweed differs from other fibers suitable for producing mattress and upholstered furniture fillings by its pleasant fresh scent, which remains present long after installation in the product.
To produce layers and mats for mattresses and upholstered furniture, non-woven fabrication technology and vulcanization technology are used. For use as an upholstery filler, seaweed is twisted into braids. After developing, it remains curly and voluminous.
