100% Cotton Waxed Cambric Fabric is a specialised, dense material primarily used as featherproofing to prevent sharp down or feather quills from poking through cushions, pillows, and duvets. The "waxed" or "calendered" finish creates a smooth, tight barrier that traps feathers inside while simultaneously acting as a ticking-proof shield against dust mites and insects.

Width 162cm
Weight 200gr/m2

Primary Uses

  • Bedding & Soft Furnishings: Creating inner covers or encasements for mattresses, pillows, and duvets to prevent feather migration and leakage.
  • Upholstery: Used as a base cloth or lining for couches, chairs, and other furniture filled with down or feathers.
  • Outerwear & Accessories: Due to its water-resistant and windproof properties, it is frequently used for jackets, hats, and bags.
  • Lining: Ideal for curtain linings as it is lightweight and helps block light.

Key Features

  • Feather-Proofing: The dense weave and waxed finish stop feathers from "leaking" or peeking out.
  • Mite & Insect Resistance: The treatment creates an inhospitable environment for dust mites.
  • Weather Resistance: Naturally breathable yet resistant to water and wind, making it a classic choice for outdoor gear.
  • Durability: High strength and resistance to wear and tear compared to standard cotton.

Care Instructions

To maintain the integrity of the wax coating and its protective properties:

  • Avoid Machine Washing: Washing can damage the wax and destroy the fabric's water-resistant and feather-proof qualities.
  • Spot Clean Only: Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean stains, then air dry completely.
