Fire-Retardant Mattress Fabrics That Keep You Compliant and On Schedule
Safe-Shield™ is a needle-punched FR barrier fabric trusted by mattress manufacturers who can't afford delays, shutdowns, or quality failures.
You're Not Just Buying Fabric
You're buying peace of mind.
If your FR fabric fails or your order gets delayed, your entire production line — or worse, your business — is at risk. That's why more mattress manufacturers are switching to NW Fabrics.

Product Overview
Key Benefits
Ready for immediate compliance testing and production use.
What we can put in writing
- Supplying FR barrier to Houston-area mattress manufacturers since 2016
- Made on our own two needle-punch lines in Houston. Not imported, not converted, not private-labelled from someone else.
- Flame resistance comes from the fiber, not from a topical coating
- Safe-Shield is built on FR viscose rayon blended with polyester. The FR performance is inherent to the rayon rather than sprayed or padded onto a finished fabric, so it does not wash off, rub off or migrate.
- No fiberglass in any construction
- Which is what California AB 1059 will require of textile fire barriers sold in that state from January 1, 2027.
- We pay for the 16 CFR 1633 open-flame test
- Complimentary prototype testing for manufacturing partners qualifying a new build.
