Types of Mattress

Myer's mattresses may look broadly similar, but the differences are vast. This guide will describe some of the options available

Mattress Covers
When you first look at Myer's mattresses you will notice the vast array of different fabric covers. (known in the trade as ticking) Myer's have hundreds of different ticking designs with various different qualities. They range from high quality woven Damasks to more modern breathable knitted stretch fabrics.

Quilting or Tufting
When deciding what mattress to buy you will need to decide whether you prefer a quilted or tufted finish. Quilted mattresses have a generally smoother, flatter surface whilst tufting produces a more undulating result.

Myer's quilting can be Micro-quilting (as shown) that stitches the fabric to the backing material to create innovative designs and effects.

Myer's mid to high price point mattresses have high-loft versions that give greater comfort to the mattress surface.

Duvet quilting is an effect using a special Tack 'n Jump quilting machine which produces smooth pillow soft areas, not unlike the effects of tufting.

Tufted mattresses have a nylon tape which is passed through the mattress at regular intervals and secured each side by felt washers. This pre-tensions the mattress to give a firmer feel. Deep Fill tufting is available on the higher priced beds which gives a deep down support and an upper softer comfort.
