<p>A method and apparatus for making a seat cushion includes locating a barrier fabric (28) between the forming surface (26) of a forming tool (24) and the nap surface of a deep nap cover fabric (11) being bonded to a cushion body (17), the barrier fabric (28) providing a resilient surface against which the nap fibers of the cover fabric (11) are compressed during the bonding process, the barrier fabric (28) including a base fabric having a plurality of spaced apart bristles projecting outward therefrom, the spaces between the bristles defining voids or recesses for receiving the nap fibers during the bonding process, so that the compression forces are substantially absorbed by the barrier fabric (28).</p> |
