How will mattress manufacturers change their products to comply with the new standard?
A common technique used by most mattress producers today to meet the new standard is to enclose the cushioning material within a mattress with a barrier fabric that blocks either heat, oxygen or both from reaching the cushioning material. These fabrics may be woven, knit or non-woven products. Mattress producers usually sew the barrier fabric into the mattress between the ticking cover and the interior cushioning material.
