Mattress & dimensional jacquard

On a mattress or a topper, the cover fabric decides the first impression in the store. Our triple-knit and quilted-knit jacquards are knitted in three layers, with a filler yarn laid between the face and the back, which gives the fabric its thickness and cushioning. A large pattern that uses the full machine width and a small brand logo or lettering are both placed stitch by stitch. When we use cellulosic yarns such as lyocell, modal, bamboo viscose and rayon, or functional yarns such as temperature-regulating (PCM) fiber, the structure is adjusted again to suit the yarn.

Construction

Knitted in three layers.

FaceFillerBack
  • FaceThe side that carries the pattern. Logos and patterns are placed here stitch by stitch.
  • FillerA bulky yarn laid between the face and the back. The fabric’s thickness and cushioning come from it.
  • BackThe side that holds the filler yarn in place and keeps the fabric in shape.

For mattress jacquard, both pattern work and knitting are done in-house.
