Abstract: A three-dimensional knit fabric having front and back knit layers and a monofilament yarn connecting the knit layers to each other, characterized in that the curvature of the monofilament yarn in the three-dimensional knit fabric is in a range from 0.01 to 1.6, and the bending elongation of the monofilament is 20% or less when the three-dimensional knit fabric is compressed to 50%. The three-dimensional knit fabric has a cushioning property in springiness which does not deteriorate even if the fabric is repeatedly used many times or for a long time, and thus this fabric is excellent in terms of durability of the cushioning property. In particular, the fabric is suitable for use as a hammock type seat and exhibits a cushioning property having a favorable springy feeling as well as a good fit feel.
