Felt wall panels: Structure, advantages and disadvantages, classification, price quote 2026

Felt wall panels are multifunctional decorative materials made from synthetic fibers such as Polyester, Acrylic and other fibers. The product is created through a heat pressing process with a structure consisting of 3 main layers. These layers include a surface layer made of synthetic fibers, a core layer made of foam or pressed cotton, and a base layer made of non-woven fabric or treated paper.

According to a survey by the Vietnam Interior Design Association (2024), 78% of consumers choose felt panels because of their unique aesthetic features, while a study by Hanoi University of Science and Technology (2024) showed that spaces using felt panels can reduce reverberation time to 0,3-0,5 seconds thanks to a sound absorption coefficient of nearly 0,9.

The market currently has over 1000 felt panel models with 3 main types according to usage purposes: decorative felt panels (accounting for 45% of the market share), sound-absorbing felt panels (accounting for 30%), and impact-resistant felt panels (accounting for 15%). The products are also often classified by size such as standard panels (60x60cm or 60x120cm), small square panels (30x30cm to 45x45cm), 3D panels and large-sized solid panels.

Although it brings many advantages such as high aesthetics, effective sound insulation, safety for users and environmental friendliness, felt panels still have disadvantages such as being easy to attract dirt, difficult to clean and not suitable for small spaces due to the significant thickness (15-50mm) which can reduce the available area by 1.5-3% in rooms under 15m².

Reference price for wall felt panels in May 5 ranges from 2025 - 300.000 VND/panel depending on type.

“Our laboratory tests have shown that 80kg/m³ Polyester acoustic wall felt panels can achieve a noise reduction coefficient (NRC) of up to 0,9 in the frequency range most important to the human voice (250Hz – 4000Hz).” says Dr. Michael Thompson, Head of Acoustic Engineering, Building Research Institute (BRE), UK (2024).

What is wall felt?

Felt wall panels (sound absorbing felt panels, wall fabrics, wall cushions) are a line of multifunctional decorative panels that are popular today thanks to their soundproofing, heat insulation and high aesthetics. This material is made from Polyester fibers, Acrylic fibers or other synthetic fibers through a heat pressing process with different thicknesses and designs.

Felt wall panels are often used in spaces that require high quality sound such as recording studios, karaoke rooms, bedroom (headboard location), home theaters or public spaces such as schools, offices. Many modern families also choose this material to improve the quality of life by reducing noise and increasing the aesthetics of the living space.

What are the layers of wall felt?

Through the process of synthesizing information from many reliable sources, Kosmos learned that wall felt panels are composed of 3 main layers to help optimize the features that the product brings.

• Surface layer: Made from synthetic fibers such as Polyester, Acrylic or Wool, woven or heat-pressed. The Polymer properties of these fibers create the ability to selectively reflect sound while also creating a soft feel to the touch.
• Core class: Made from foam or cotton materials with special structures that play an important role in absorbing sound waves.
• Sole layer: Made from non-woven fabric or specially treated paper to increase durability and moisture resistance. This layer has the function of reinforcing the structure and creating a contact surface, increasing adhesion to different types of wall surfaces.

What are the advantages of felt wall panels?

Based on information from many reputable sources that Kosmos has compiled, felt wall panels have the following 4 outstanding features:

1. High aesthetics: Modern production technology allows felt wall panels to have more than 250 different color tones with a variety of patterns and surface textures. This ability helps create artistic and personalized living spaces, meeting all design styles from classic to modern. This is the main reason why 78% of consumers choose felt panels according to the Vietnam Interior Design Association (2024).
2. Effective soundproofing: With a noise reduction coefficient (NRC) that can reach a maximum of 0.9, felt panels can absorb up to 90% of sound waves impacting the surface. Research from Hanoi University of Science and Technology (2024) shows that spaces using felt wall panels can reduce reverberation time to 0.3 - 0.5 seconds, creating an optimal sound environment for communication and relaxation.
3. Safety for users: High quality products with a density of over 80kg/m³ have been treated to completely remove toxic odors and are safe for users.
4. Environmental friendliness: Many products today are made from recycled materials, with the recycled content ratio reaching up to 85%. The Interior Materials Sustainability Report (2024) notes that each square meter of recycled felt reduces CO2.5 emissions by 2 kg compared to production from new materials.

What are the disadvantages of felt wall panels?

Kosmos found that in addition to the benefits, felt wall panels have two main disadvantages that need to be carefully considered when choosing a product:

• Easy to collect dirt and difficult to clean: According to a survey by the Institute of Industrial Hygiene Research (2024), felt panels can accumulate 45% more dust than other wall covering materials after 6 months of use. Cleaning often requires a specialized vacuum cleaner and special nozzle to avoid damaging the fabric structure.
• Not suitable for small spaces: Felt panels come in a considerable thickness (usually 15mm to 50mm), and the use of felt wall panels can reduce the usable area by 1.5 – 3% in rooms under 15m². The psychological effect of space also shows that small rooms can feel more cramped when covered with felt panels.

Classification of felt wall panels?

Felt wall panels are classified mainly according to two criteria: purpose of use and size. Currently, statistics from the Vietnam Furniture Association (2025) show that there are more than 1.000 felt panel models with different characteristics being distributed on the market.

Classification of wall felt panels according to their intended use

Below are 3 types of wall felt panels divided by purpose of use that Kosmos has compiled from reputable sources:

1. Decorative felt: Diverse in color and pattern, used to create accents for the space. This type is usually moderately thick (8-15mm), enough to improve the sound in the space but is not the main purpose. According to a survey of more than 100 Kosmos dealers on consumer tastes in 2024, this product group accounts for 45% of the market share, popular in modern residential, hotel and office spaces.
2. Sound absorbing felt: The main function is to reduce noise and improve sound quality. This is a high-end product line manufactured to maximize sound absorption. The NRC coefficient can reach 0.75-0.95, the thickness is usually 15-50mm, commonly used in recording studios, concert halls, cinemas, with a market share of about 30%.
3. Impact resistant felt: The anti-collision felt sound-absorbing wall panels have a popular size of 20 x 100cm, a thickness of 9mm, and a variety of colors. The product has a cushion layer, protecting the wall and the user from collision. The market share of this product group is about 15% and is growing rapidly, commonly used in children's rooms.

Classification of felt panels by size

Based on size, felt panels are divided into the following 4 main types:

1. Standard felt: Usually 60x60cm or 60x120cm in size, suitable for most spaces.
2. Small square felt: Size from 30x30cm to 45x45cm, easy to create mosaic patterns and flexible in installation.
3. 3D felt panels: Has a raised surface with three-dimensional patterns, creating a special visual effect. The relief can reach from 5mm to 25mm, creating a natural depth and shadow effect when light shines on it.
4. Solid sheet felt: Large size, can reach 1.2m x 2.4m or customized as required, helps reduce the number of joints during installation.

2 things to note when choosing felt wall panels?

When choosing felt wall panels, there are 2 important notes that need special attention:

• Usable space: For living rooms and commercial areas, aesthetics should be the top priority. Meanwhile, bedrooms require higher thickness and soundproofing to create a quiet space. Specialized sound-absorbing felt with an NRC coefficient of 0.85-0.95 should be used for recording studios.
• Cleaning method: Felt fabric is prone to dust and is difficult to clean. Therefore, it is very important to prepare specialized tools such as a vacuum cleaner and suitable cleaning solution to preserve the panel without damaging the material. Regular cleaning (at least 2 times/month) will help the felt not accumulate too much dust.
