The paper presents elastic barrier materials developed at the INF which play a role of filling and fire barrier material at the same time in upholstery furniture, reducing the development and spread of fire on flammable materials. The presented results of flammability and biophysical tests confirm the comfort of products. The developed barrier materials use natural fibres (wool, flax FR) characterized by good air permeability, hygroscopicity, moisture transport, elimination of electrostatic charges and have effect on climate of interiors also when blended with thermostable fibres such as Polyacrylate. These flexible structures based on blend of natural fibres and thermostable fibres with at least two barrier effects i.e. durable resistance to fire, thermal insulation, control of electrostatic phenomena.
