Mattress manufacturing proce

Building mattress layers Most mattress manufacturers subcontract the production of the innerspring unit to an outside firm that specializes in making springs. Once the completed spring unit is received and inspected, the workers manually apply the insulator. Next, they apply the cushioning layers that will determine the feel and comfort of the final product

While the mattress is being “built up” in one part of the plant, the decorative cover that will serve as the exterior for the top, bottom and sides is being made in another part. Usually this cover is made on a giant quilting machine, which controls a multitude of needles that stitch the cover to a layer of backing materia

The stitching chosen servesboth useful and ornamental purposes, as it must prevent the mattress cover from slipping or creeping over the layers of cushioning in addition to creating a visually pleasing exterior. Once the fabric is quilted, is cut into panels that will fit the top and bottom of the mattress.

The side panels are often cut from this same composite or made separately on a border machine. If side handles or vents are to be added, they are attached to the side panels before these are applied to the mattress. Attaching the flanges Specially modified sewing machines are used to attach the flanges to the top and bottom panel and the hogs rings are stapled to the flanges.

Everything is now ready for the closing operation, during which the hogs rings will be secured to the innerspring unit. Completing the mattress The closing operation is of one of the most highly skilled and critical procedures in the entire process. It is done.
