Collection: What Makes Hand Tufted Mattresses Special?

What Is Hand Tufting?

Hand Tufting is an age old method by which mattress layers are held together. This process anchors these layers by driving a long needle and tufting straps all the way through the bed. Upholstery layers are pulled together through the spring unit and then bound on each side; then finished with decorative pom-pom or fleurette. Prior to this process taking place, the coil system and comfort layers are compressed. Once tufting is secured, the mattress layers remain taught and stable. Pre-compression limits body impressions and sagging. It also keeps materials from shifting or bunching over time. 

Why Do So Few Companies Use Hand Tufting?

Hand Tufting is a labor intensiveness process that requires skilled craftsmen to complete. This type of workmanship is typically only found in high end, expensive luxury bedding. Hand Tufting has been around since the first coil spring mattresses were made. However, most major manufacturers have abandoned this technique in favor of the more cost effective method of gluing layers together. This is why the value priced hand tufted mattresses found at Xtreme Discount Mattress are such an incredible value!
