Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a textile laminate comprising a fiberfill web substrate and a face layer. The fiberfill web substrate has a plurality of first fibers at the surface of the substrate. The face layer comprises a plurality of extruded second fibers which are mechanically intertangled with the plurality of first fibers at the surface of the substrate to thereby form the textile laminate. Typically, the first fibers of the fiberfill web are polyester fiberfill fibers and the second fibers of the extruded face layer are polypropylene fibers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A method of making a textile laminate comprising the steps of (a) forming a fiberfill web substrate from a plurality of first fibers; (b) forming a face layer, wherein the face layer is a web of integrity formed from a plurality of extruded second fibers; and (c) providing negative draft under the fiberfill web substrate such that the face layer lays on at least one side of the fiberfill web substrate wherein the first fibers of the fiberfill web substrate and the second fibers of the face layer become mechanically interentangled to provide the textile laminate.
