&#;Non-woven fabrics are fibrous sheet or web structures produced by bonding or interlocking fibers by mechanical, thermal or chemical means.&#;
Non-woven products most familiar to the consumer are: disposable diapers, towels, and scrub pads. Less well known since they are less visible are non-wovens used as quilting pads inside bedspreads, draperies, ski parkas, sleeping bags, and upholstered furniture. Further materials of non-woven construction are used extensively by manufacturers in the form of gaskets, air and water filters, and most recently in road construction. In fact the list of products is endless and grows constantly as non-wovens take over markets formerly dominated by felts and woven goods.
In the 19th century, (when England was the leading textile producing country), realizing that large amounts of fiber were wasted as trim, a textile engineer named Garnett developed a special carding device to shred this waste material back to fibrous form. This fiber was used as filling material for pillows. The Garnett Machine, though greatly modified, today still retains his name and is a major component in the non-woven industry.
Later on, manufacturers in Northern England began binding these fibers mechanically (using needles) and chemically (using glue) into batts. These were the precursors of today&#;s non-wovens.

This art remained the same into the middle of the 20th century and patents as late as the &#;s depict such bats specially made to insulate railroad box cars in the U.S.
Now in the 21st century, though some fillings and padding are still made as they were in England almost 2 centuries ago, non-wovens have progressed beyond Garnett&#;s dreams. Non-woven fabric was used between the Space Shuttle heat resistant tiles and the spaceship&#;s skin and non-wovens were part of the space suits worn to the moon. The limits to the use of non-wovens remains only in the imagination of man, and new innovations are developed on a steady basis.
