How do Myers Make a Mattress?

Following our visit to the Myers bed and mattress factory we thought you would like to see how they are made.

The mattress cover has a layer of padding stitched to it to give a quilted finish

A machine cuts 8 rows of mattress borders at a time

Fabric is fed into a machine to make the handles

Mattress ticking is cut to size by mechanical shears

Spring units are all bought in ready made

The pressure packed springs are put through a machine to unpack them

And come out full sized looking like a sprung mattress interior

Mattress springs waiting to be upholstered

Once unwrapped the spring unit is rod edged to give support

Layers of filling are added according to the quality of the mattress

Once all the filling is in place and the tick is attached on top

The mattress is now ready for the border

The border is added and stitched to the the mattress tick (cover). This is known as tape edging

Mattresses that are tufted are done so by machine.

Once complete the mattress sets off on a conveyor belt for packing

All mattresses have protective corner pads attached prior to being bagged up.

The mattress goes into the wrapping machine

And out it comes the other end in a poly bag ready for delivery
