Native White Cotton Office Chair

Native white cotton is primarily used as a filling material in office chairs, and its characteristics are fundamentally different from those of recycled cotton, but consumers should be wary of merchants confusing the concepts.

Native white cotton generally refers to whole sponge or fiber materials that are newly produced and have not undergone secondary recycling processing. In the manufacturing of office chairs, it is mostly used for seat cushion filling to provide comfortable sitting support. For example, in the bow-shaped chairs purchased for an office chair project in Qiqihar City, the seat cushion sponge explicitly uses '5-centimeter-thick, 30 kg/m³ density, 70-degree hardness native medium-soft white cotton' and is paired with a 1.2 cm thick multi-layer solid wood board for manufacturing. Here, '5-centimeter-thick' likely refers to a sponge thickness of 5 centimeters, '30 kg/m³ density' indicates a density of 30 kilograms per cubic meter, and '70-degree hardness' refers to a hardness of 70 degrees. These parameters collectively determine the support and softness of the sponge, and the label 'native medium-soft white cotton' emphasizes the natural and unrecycled nature of the material.

Compared to recycled cotton, the core advantage of native white cotton lies in the purity of its material source. Recycled cotton is usually made by piecing together scraps or discarded sponges, which may have issues such as uneven density and rapid elasticity degradation, and is prone to sagging and deformation with long-term use. In contrast, native white cotton, having not undergone secondary processing, has a uniform internal structure and can maintain more durable resilience and support, making it more suitable for office scenarios that require prolonged sitting.

It should be noted that there are cases in the market where some merchants confuse the concepts. For example, promoting 'native spliced cotton' as native cotton, when in fact the former is a material made from recycled sponge through a splicing process. Although it may improve some defects of recycled cotton, it still falls within the category of recycled materials. When making purchases, consumers should confirm whether the filling material is truly native white cotton by checking product parameters, material descriptions, or requesting detection reports from merchants to avoid affecting the usage experience due to concept confusion.
