Abstract: The invention provides flame resistant textile knit fabrics for use in mattresses and household products, particularly bed clothing products such as pillows, comforters, bed spreads, mattress covers and mattress pad ticking. More particularly, the invention provides a fabric made of yarn comprising about 50% to about 80% by weight of inherently flame retardant viscose rayon fiber, about 10% to about 25% by weight of modacrylic fiber, and about 10% to about 25% by weight of cellulosic fiber.

Abstract: Textile woven and knit fabrics with inherent flame resistant properties for use in household filled bedclothing applications, such as mattress ticking. In one embodiment, the yarn used to weave or knit the fabric comprises from about 25 to about 60 weight % modacrylic fiber and from about 40 to about 75 weight % cellulosic fiber. In another embodiment, the yarns used to knit the fabrics can comprise from about 25 to about 75 weight % modacrylic fiber, from about 20 to about 50 weight % of cellulosic fibers, and from about 5 to about 55 weight % of other materials such as polyester fibers/filaments and/or glass filaments.
