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
