QS2™ Elastomeric Woven Suspension Fabrics
QS2™ is Quantum’s proprietary platform of elastomeric woven suspension fabrics engineered for ergonomic support, breathability, and long-term durability. QS2 fabrics are used as primary load-bearing surfaces in seating and structural applications—replacing foam, metal springs, and heavier support systems.
What Are Elastomeric Woven Suspension Fabrics?
QS2 fabrics are fully woven (not knitted) suspension textiles that combine:
- Elastomeric warp yarns for strength and recovery
- Multifilament weft yarns for comfort, color, and design
The result is a fabric that flexes and conforms under load while maintaining dimensional stability over time.
5280™ Elastomeric Monofilament Yarn
At the core of QS2™ is 5280™, Quantum’s proprietary elastomeric monofilament yarn used in the warp direction across all QS2 fabrics.
5280™ provides:
- Long-term durability
- Controlled elongation and recovery
- Low creep and excellent shape retention
- Consistent mechanical performance over millions of cycles
Because Quantum extrudes 5280™ in-house, performance can be tuned precisely to application needs.
A-Surface & B-Surface Constructions
QS2 fabrics are engineered for both:
- A-surface applications (visible, comfort-driven surfaces)
- B-surface applications (structural support layers)
Each construction is customized based on load, comfort, durability, and aesthetic requirements.
Indoor & Outdoor Performance
QS2 fabrics can be engineered for:
- Indoor office and contract seating
- Outdoor and stadium seating
- High-traffic public environments
Outdoor constructions incorporate UV-resistant additives and tailored yarn formulations.
Custom Design & Engineering
- Custom patterns and weaves
- Color and aesthetic flexibility
- Application-specific performance tuning
Most QS2 fabrics are developed collaboratively with customers for specific programs.
Why QS2™
- Fully integrated yarn-to-fabric manufacturing
- Proven in iconic designs (Aeron® Chair)
- Scalable domestic production
- Long-term performance consistency
