A novel structure that integrates an inlaid silicone tube in the connective layer of spacer fabric is developed to increase its compression resistance and impact force absorption. Two inlaying methods are proposed to evaluate the effect of the spacer yarns, presence of the inlay, and inlay density and pattern. The results show that a silicone inlay effectively increases the compression resistance and impact force absorption. The compression behavior of the fabric can be modified with different inlay patterns and stitch densities. An inlaid silicone tube reinforces the structure and provides spacer fabrics with a better performance as a cushioning material.
