Ticking is the protective fabric<br />
cover used to encase mattresses<br />
and foundations. It<br />
is usually designed to coordinate<br />
with the foundation<br />
border fabric and comes in<br />
a wide variety of colors and<br />
styles. Mattress fabrics can<br />
be knits, damask or printed<br />
wovens, or inexpensive<br />
nonwovens. During the past<br />
decade, along with the rise in<br />
popularity of all-foam beds,<br />
stretchy knit ticking on the bed’s top panel has become a standard<br />
look on both innerspring and foam beds. Most ticking is made with<br />
polyester yarns. More expensive mattress fabrics may contain a<br />
combination of polyester with rayon, cotton, silk, wool or other<br />
natural yarns.
