Benefits of technology

The invention proposes a knitted mattress cover that has a seamless, one-piece knit, which simplifies production and reduces costs and time. The cover includes a top panel, side panels, and tape edge that connects the top panel with the side panels. The top panel, side panels, and tape edge are integrated into a single knit, reducing labor requirements. The side panel may have a gusset for added cushioning and strengthening of the mattress cover. The tape edge is kept in a folded position to create a raised edge that separates the top panel and side panels and increases the strength of the raised edge.

Problems solved by technology

This brings down both production costs and production time.
