Abstract

There is provided a flame-retardant knit fabric that sufficiently provides texture and amenity inherent in cotton or urethane foam as a material used in upholstered furniture such as mattresses and chairs, bedding products such as pillows, mattress pads, and futon, and the like, and can make these products highly flame-retardant. The present invention relates to a knit fabric comprising at least two fibers selected from the group consisting of (A) a halogen-containing fiber, (B) a cellulosic fiber, (C) a flame-retardant cellulosic fiber, and (D) a polyester fiber, the knit fabric having a weight per unit area of 150 g/m2 or more, having a thickness of 0.5 mm or more, and having a content of a flame retardant in the whole knit fabric of 2 wt % or more, wherein (weight per unit area of the knit fabric (g/m2))×(thickness of the knit fabric (mm))×(content of the flame retardant in the whole knit fabric (wt %)/100)=10 or more.
