ALL ABOUT MATTRESSES

A mattress is a piece of bedding typically consisting of multiple layers of foams, foam insulation, and fibers, along with an innerspring unit used to provide support to one's back during sleep. Mattresses are usually used along with a foundation, which might include metal springs or torsion bars on a wooden frame, which supports the mattress. Increasingly, mattresses made with various foam materials such as latex foam, viscoelastic foam and other polyurethane-type foam, but without metal spring units, are becoming common and accepted. Foam insulation is a key component of a mattress. Although mattresses are sold with fillings of air, water, or foam, innerspring or coil mattresses currently have over 80% of the market share in the U.S. The fabric used to cover the exterior of a mattress is called mattress ticking. With modern production methods, it takes 10 to 60 minutes to make a mattress from start to finish.
