The type of fabric of the mattresses determines their comfort and durability. From the material in this article, you will learn what materials are used in production, what requirements are imposed on them. In addition, we will show you how to choose the best option correctly.

Different fabrics are used in the production of mattresses. All of them must meet a number of requirements. Upholstery materials must be dense, resistant to deformation and wear. In the manufacture of mattresses, durable textiles are used that keep their shape well. It is important that it is pleasant to the touch.
