A spacer fabric has a first flat warp-knitted fabric layer having openings each formed by a respective plurality of stitches and a second flat warp-knitted fabric layer also having openings that are each formed by a respective plurality of stitches. The second warp-knitted fabric layer further has at least a first yarn system and a second yarn system and yarns of the first yarn system run in a production direction on exactly over respective stitch wale and yarns of the second yarn system extend over at least two adjacent stitch wales that run in the production direction. The openings are larger than one of the stitches or a space between two of the stitches. Spacer yarns interconnect the warp-knitted fabric layers.
