Kahramanmaraş companies exporting seat padding to Saudi Arabia: HR + fiber blend

Kahramanmaraş companies exporting sofa filling to Saudi Arabia have seen a significant market opportunity in recent years, particularly due to the growth in the furniture sector and the increase in residential projects. Kahramanmaraş-based manufacturers are exporting both directly and through local partners to capitalize on this opportunity. High-Resilience (HR) foam and polyester fiber blend filling materials, used in seating groups, armchairs, and cushions, are particularly in demand. Kahramanmaraş's expertise in textile and filling material production gives these companies a significant competitive edge. Among the leading Kahramanmaraş exporting companies are Maraş Foam, Polifom Sünger A.Ş., Kahramanmaraş Filling Materials, and KMK Foam. These companies primarily supply residential projects and stores for furniture manufacturers located in Saudi Arabia's major cities of Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Neom, and Qiddiya. Maraş Foam specializes in HR+ fiber blends and produces these products to high quality. Polifom Sünger A.Ş., on the other hand, specializes in modular systems and exports these systems on a project-by-project basis. Kahramanmaraş Filling Materials offers OEM production and specializes in manufacturing for Saudi brands. KMK Foam is known for its high production capacity for large-volume projects. A common characteristic of these companies is their strong emphasis on the blend of HR foam and polyester fiber. Saudi customers particularly prefer the HR + fiber blend for its shape retention, comfort, and durability. This combination combines the elasticity and longevity of HR foam with the soft touch and breathability of polyester fiber. HR foam is typically used as the base layer, while polyester fiber is added as the top layer. This makes the seat both supportive and comfortable. Furthermore, this blend is hygienic, easy to clean, and resistant to moisture. Products are typically manufactured with HR foam, with densities ranging from 33 kg/m³ to 40 kg/m³, and 30–50% siliconized polyester fiber. Dimensions can be cut to 100x200 cm, 120x200 cm, or custom sizes. All products are manufactured in hygienic environments and packaged in moisture-proof cases. When packages are shipped compressed, transportation costs decrease by 40 to 50 percent. Pricing is as follows by 2025. HR + fiber blend, with dimensions of 100x200x10 cm, a density of 35 kg/m³, and a 40% fiber content, sells for between $14 and $19. Rebounded foam + fiber blend, for the same dimensions, is priced between $11 and $16. Wholesale prices can be $3 to $5 lower. Some companies offer special promotions or offer free samples on first orders. Maritime transportation is preferred for logistics, and products are shipped in compressed packaging. This packaging method significantly reduces transportation costs. Required documents for export include a certificate of origin, a health report, Arabic labeling, and a customs declaration. Additionally, some projects require REACH chemical compliance certification, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, and a fire resistance test (BS 5852). In terms of consumer preferences, Saudi consumers prioritize shape retention, comfort, and hygiene. Their color preferences include gray, white, dark blue, and beige. Applications range from furniture manufacturers to residential projects, offices, and private homes. For manufacturers seeking to export, focusing on HR+ fiber blends, collaborating with local distributors, and using compressed packaging offers significant advantages. Kahramanmaraş's expertise in filling material production and export experience provide a strong foundation for establishing a permanent presence in this market.
