A day without a nap is like a cupcake without frosting.
With the average person spending around 26 years sleeping—or nearly 9,500 days—sleep quality isn’t a luxury, it’s essential. From boosting productivity to maintaining long-term health, peaceful sleep is vital. Bedding items like mattresses, pillows, bed linens, and comforters are more than just fabric and filling—they’re the foundation of restful sleep.
At Coats, we offer high-performance thread solutions engineered to enhance the quality, durability, and sustainability of bedding and mattress products.
Understanding Mattress Construction
Different types of stitching are used in mattress manufacturing, depending on the design and production requirements. Coats threads are engineered for high-speed performance and long-lasting strength across all major stitching techniques:
| Stitch Type | Description | Thread Type Used | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chainstitch (401 stitch) | High-speed stitching used for long production runs | Needle thread: Continuous Filament Polyester Under thread: Textured Polyester or Staple Spun Polyester |
No bobbin changes, highest thread consumption, supports over 40 needle spools |
| Single-needle Lockstitch | Formed with one needle thread and one bobbin thread | Needle thread: Continuous Filament Polyester, Polyester Corespun, Polyester Cotton thread Bobbin thread: Polyester Corespun, Polyester Cotton thread, or Staple Spun Polyester |
Precision stitching, uses self or pre-wound bobbins with finer threads |
| Multi-needle Lockstitch | Balanced stitch appearance on both sides; ideal for quilting | Needle thread: Continuous Filament Polyester, Polyester Corespun, Polyester Cotton thread Bobbin thread: Polyester Corespun, Polyester Cotton thread, or Staple Spun Polyester |
Stitch doesn’t unravel on break, used for complex patterns and tack/jump |
Applications Beyond the Mattress
Coats products also support the production of essential sleep accessories that contribute to better rest and comfort.
| Application | Description | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Pillows | Soft cloth bags filled with feathers or other materials | Support the head during sleep |
| Bed Linens | Fitted sheets, flat sheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers | Provide comfort, protect mattresses, and add style |
| Bettdecken | Fabric cases filled with down feathers, typically with cotton or cotton-blend outer layers | Insulate and maintain body warmth during sleep |
