Aydın Tekstil: ISPA fair<br />
performed positive for<br />
our exports<br />
Berhan Kaya, Marketing Manager of Aydın Tekstil, said that the<br />
ISPA Expo fair met their expectations.<br />
Berhan Kaya, who used<br />
the expression “we want<br />
to follow the trends and<br />
technological developments on<br />
the spot” while explaining their<br />
expectations from the ISPA exhibition<br />
in his interview before the<br />
exhibition, stated that the exhibition<br />
functioned as a milestone<br />
on the way to short, medium and<br />
long term targets. Stating that<br />
they took part in a very important<br />
fair for the American mattress<br />
industry as well as for the companies<br />
and countries that want<br />
to export to this continent and<br />
make investments here, Kaya<br />
said that Turkish companies were<br />
the most prominent companies in<br />
the fair and Aydın Tekstil was the<br />
leader among these companies.<br />
Stating that the fair was productive<br />
for them and that their<br />
expectations were met, Kaya<br />
gave the following statements;<br />
12 <strong>Sleep</strong><strong>Tech</strong> • <strong>May</strong> - <strong>June</strong>
“ISPA fair is an organisation that<br />
appeals to the entire American<br />
continent and even hosts many<br />
visitors from outside the continent.<br />
This year, as in previous<br />
years, it was a fair with a very<br />
high efficiency scale and the fair<br />
maintained its stability. There<br />
were positive developments that<br />
will positively affect our export<br />
figures both in the fair area and<br />
in the meetings we held after<br />
the fair. These developments will<br />
enable us to increase our exports<br />
and investments to America.<br />
With the studies we will carry<br />
out in the light of these developments,<br />
we aim to highlight the<br />
Aydın Textile brand with quality<br />
and innovative products in the<br />
American and world market in<br />
the medium and long term.”<br />

BekaertDeslee attracts great<br />
interest from the industry for its<br />
CASA collection at ISPA <strong>2024</strong><br />
WAREGEM – BekaertDeslee the world’s leading specialist in<br />
mattress textiles and sleep solutions concluded its successful<br />
participation at the International <strong>Sleep</strong> Products Association (ISPA)<br />
EXPO <strong>2024</strong>, held from in Columbus, Ohio, 12-14 March <strong>2024</strong>.<br />
ISPA EXPO <strong>2024</strong> event served<br />
as a platform for BekaertDeslee<br />
to showcase its latest<br />
innovations and sustainable<br />
solutions, garnering significant interest<br />
and acclaim from industry<br />
professionals and attendees.<br />
The highlight of BekaertDeslee’s<br />
showcase was the unveiling of its<br />
latest design collection, CASA,<br />
which received widespread<br />
acclaim for its fusion of style,<br />
functionality, and sustainability.<br />
The CASA collection captivated<br />
visitors with its innovative approach<br />
to the upcoming trends in<br />
interior design, transforming living<br />
spaces, emphasizing self-care,<br />
self-reliance, and self-expression<br />
while integrating environmentally<br />
friendly materials and responsible<br />
manufacturing practices.<br />
“We are thrilled by the positive<br />
response to our CASA collection<br />
at ISPA EXPO <strong>2024</strong>,” said Rafael<br />
Rodriguez, President of Bekaert-<br />
Deslee North America. “The<br />
collection represents our commitment<br />
to pushing the boundaries<br />
of design and innovation while<br />
prioritizing sustainability and consumer<br />
well-being.”<br />
In addition to the CASA collection,<br />
BekaertDeslee’s revolutionary<br />
cooling technology, COMBO-<br />
COOL, generated significant<br />
interest among attendees. With<br />
its dual-action cooling mechanism<br />
and over 50% biobased<br />
content, COMBOCOOL offers<br />
long-lasting comfort and sustainability,<br />
setting a new standard in<br />
sleep technology.<br />
“Our COMBOCOOL technology<br />
received tremendous attention<br />
at ISPA EXPO <strong>2024</strong>,” noted<br />
Rodriguez. “Its ability to provide<br />
continuous and active cooling,<br />
16 <strong>Sleep</strong><strong>Tech</strong> • <strong>May</strong> - <strong>June</strong>
coupled with its sustainable<br />
formulation, resonated strongly<br />
with attendees seeking innovative<br />
solutions for a better sleep<br />
experience.”<br />
Furthermore, the success of<br />
the stretch woven construction<br />
was notable during the fair. This<br />
innovative construction, crucial to<br />
our strategy of advancing jacquard<br />
techniques and rescuing<br />
the woven heritage, allows for<br />
enhanced stretching, ensuring<br />
intricate detailing and exceptional<br />
comfort for a restful sleep experience.<br />
Visitors were impressed by<br />
the combination of sophistication<br />
and convenience offered by the<br />
stretch woven fabrics, which<br />
boast luxurious appearances and<br />
soft textures while maintaining<br />
wrinkle-free and easy-to-handle<br />
properties.<br />
BekaertDeslee’s commitment<br />
to sustainability was a recurring<br />
theme throughout the fair, with<br />
its sustainability journey drawing<br />
considerable interest from visitors.<br />
The company’s dedication<br />
to offering products that meet<br />
current needs while taking care<br />
of the environment for future generations<br />
underscores its position<br />
as a leader in responsible manufacturing<br />
practices.<br />
“We are proud to have shared<br />
our vision for the future of sleep<br />
and sustainability at ISPA EXPO<br />
<strong>2024</strong>,” said Rhiannon Burch<br />
Hallam, Senior Vice President of<br />
Sales North America at Bekaert-<br />
Deslee. “The event provided an<br />
invaluable opportunity to engage<br />
with industry professionals<br />
and demonstrate our ongoing<br />
commitment to innovation and<br />
sustainability.”<br />

Boyçelik: We became one<br />
of the main actors of ISPA<br />
Expo <strong>2024</strong><br />
Feridun Tosun, Boyçelik Export Officer, said that they had been<br />
very productive at ISPA Expo and they were one of the most<br />
prominent companies of the fair.<br />
Feridun Tosun stated that<br />
they are one of the most<br />
well-known brands in the<br />
USA in the field of mattress<br />
springs thanks to the commercial<br />
relations they have established<br />
in the ISPA Expo fairs held so far<br />
and that they want to position<br />
themselves at the top by continuing<br />
this rise and emphasized that<br />
Boyçelik brand value was one of<br />
the most prominent values at the<br />
fair. Feridun Tosun stated that<br />
it is extremely proud for them to<br />
have such a great impact at the<br />
world’s largest bedding materials<br />
fair and emphasized their determination<br />
and stability to maintain<br />
this success.<br />
Feridun Tosun, Boyçelik Export<br />
Officer, made the following statements<br />
in his statement; “In the<br />
20 <strong>Sleep</strong><strong>Tech</strong> • <strong>May</strong> - <strong>June</strong>
interview we had with you before<br />
the fair, we had mentioned how<br />
important the American market is<br />
in the light of statistical data. As<br />
Boyçelik, we have been one of<br />
the active players of this market<br />
for a long time. For a country like<br />
us, which faces west in terms<br />
of trade, the American market<br />
harbors great opportunities. As<br />
Boyçelik, we have been participating<br />
in ISPA Expo fairs for<br />
many years and exhibiting our<br />
brand value in these fairs in order<br />
to utilize these opportunities. In<br />
this year’s exhibition, we showed<br />
our colleagues operating in the<br />
American market that we, as<br />
Boyçelik, are one of the biggest<br />
actors of the Turkish mattress<br />
sub-industry. We knew that we<br />
would get a lot of efficiency from<br />
the exhibition and we did our<br />
work in this direction and we<br />
were not wrong in our predictions.<br />
We took care to host our<br />
visitors in the best way and we<br />
demonstrated the quality of our<br />
products in this exhibition as<br />
before. In the medium and long<br />
term, we aim to be the most<br />
important player in the American<br />
market in our field and we continue<br />
our efforts towards this goal.”<br />

Boyteks for good mornings<br />
We talked about the International <strong>Sleep</strong> Products Association<br />
(ISPA) Fair and the future expectations from the American Market<br />
with Mr. Harun Gürkan YİĞİT, Regional Sales Manager of Boyteks<br />
Tekstil, which continues to produce innovative, technological,<br />
natural and environmentally friendly products with the motto<br />
“good mornings in more than 100 countries”.<br />
Noting that they are excitedly<br />
waiting for the revival<br />
of the United States’ (US)<br />
mattress ticking market, which<br />
has shrunk in parallel with the<br />
global mattress ticking industry<br />
in 2023, in line with their goal of<br />
increasing the awareness of the<br />
Boyteks brand in the American<br />
market, where they currently<br />
operate through wholesalers, Mr.<br />
Harun Gürkan YİĞİT said: “We<br />
think that the ISPA Fair created a<br />
sparking effect in achieving this<br />
goal.”<br />
Mr. Harun Gürkan YİĞİT continued<br />
his words as follows: “We<br />
hosted many visitors from North<br />
and South American countries<br />
with whom we had very fruitful<br />
commercial negotiations and<br />
discussed productive projects.<br />
We had a very positive fair for<br />
both us and our visitors.” Stating<br />
that the US market is the world’s<br />
largest mattress ticking market<br />
and one of the primary markets<br />
targeted by Boyteks, Mr. Yiğit<br />
said: “In order to increase our<br />
brand value in this market, we<br />
took our place in the ISPA Fair<br />
as an exihibitor and we are also<br />
attending the Las Vegas Market<br />
Show as a visitor. The US market<br />
is one of the three largest mattress<br />
ticking markets in the world<br />
in terms of quantity and volume<br />
and has the capacity to inspire,<br />
guide and set trends for mattress<br />
ticking manufacturers in all other<br />
countries. Significant expenditures<br />
are made and studies are<br />
carried out within the scope of<br />
research and development (R&D)<br />
and product development (P&D)<br />
activities in the mattress ticking<br />
market of US, which is one of<br />
the leading countries in the world<br />
that licenses bedding brands. In<br />
this regard, as a manufacturer<br />
that has been serving the US<br />
market for 20 years, we attach<br />
importance to the fact that the<br />
mattress ticking we develop are<br />
visionary and support trend-setting<br />
mattress ticking manufacturers.<br />
In addition to our P&D<br />
activities, we attach importance<br />
to the on-site observations and<br />
determinations we make within<br />
the scope of our marketing<br />
activities, both as exhibitors and<br />
visitors at US fairs.”<br />
Mr. Harun Gürkan Yiğit said: “At<br />
ISPA EXPO <strong>2024</strong>, our innovative<br />
products were exhibited along<br />
with natural products that are<br />
generally trending in the market.<br />
These two concepts have now<br />

cool-feeling products have been<br />
touted as innovative products for<br />
years. Therefore, we plan to bring<br />
innovations that can accompany<br />
these products and be used in<br />
the same product. In this context,<br />
we introduced our naturally<br />
innovative and environmentally<br />
friendly products such as Synergy,<br />
Slimfit, OzoneTherapy, Hydrogel,<br />
Return, Rose, developed by<br />
our R&D department, as well as<br />
Interzum award-winning Nettle<br />
and Biogreen to our customers<br />
and visitors at ISPA.”<br />
Nettle<br />
Considering that nettle is a<br />
natural thermoregulator thanks<br />
to its unique structure and thus<br />
provides a more comfortable<br />
sleeping environment, the Nettle<br />
mattress ticking we produce to<br />
provide a more comfortable sleep<br />
has proven itself by receiving<br />
the international “Hight Product<br />

addition to its cooling effect, it<br />
contributes to the body’s moisture<br />
balance.<br />
OzoneTherapy<br />
We developed OzoneTherapy<br />
mattress ticking to reduce the<br />
negative effects of free radicals<br />
and oxidative stress during<br />
sleep. The crystallized minerals<br />
in the structure of OzoneTherapy<br />
mattress ticking are activated by<br />
body temperature and release<br />
active ions into the medium.<br />
These ions reduce the effect of<br />
free radicals and help reduce<br />
oxidative stress, just like in the<br />
ozone therapy method.<br />
ReTURN<br />
As part of our approach to being<br />
more environmentally-friendly, we<br />
developed the ReTURN mattress<br />
ticking, which can be degraded<br />
faster in nature. ReTURN mattress<br />
ticking, which we developed<br />
by adding special enzymes<br />
to its structure and using polyester<br />
threads, contributes to<br />
reducing environmental pollution<br />
as it dissolves 90 times faster<br />
than normal ticking.<br />
Rose<br />
We developed the Rose mattress<br />
ticking, which contains rose<br />
protein, to help provide a health-<br />
26 <strong>Sleep</strong><strong>Tech</strong> • <strong>May</strong> - <strong>June</strong>
ier skin. Rose mattress ticking<br />
revitalizes the skin and provides a<br />
healthier sleeping environment.<br />
Slimfit<br />
Irregular and excessive fat accumulated<br />
under the skin due<br />
to the increase in fat tissue in<br />
the body usually leads to skin<br />
surface disorders in the leg,<br />
abdomen and hip areas and, as a<br />
result, an unhealthy appearance.<br />
That’s why we developed Slimfit<br />
mattress ticking to prevent such<br />
skin disorders and give the skin a<br />
firmer and more beautiful appearance.<br />
Synergy<br />
We spend 70 percent of our daily<br />
energy to maintain the basal<br />
metabolic rate, which is the resting<br />
metabolic rate of our body.<br />
Contrary to popular belief, sleep<br />
is not just a process in which the<br />
body rests and is passive. The<br />
body continues to lose energy<br />
during rest and sleep. That’s why<br />
we developed Synergy mattress<br />
ticking to help us regain our lost<br />
energy throughout the day and<br />
prevent energy loss during sleep.<br />

IKMIB Chairman Adil Pelister:<br />
“The Türkiye Green Industry Project<br />
will make a great contribution to the<br />
green transformation of our SMEs”<br />
Pelister noted: “I wish that<br />
the “Türkiye Green Industry<br />
Project”, which is implemented<br />
under the coordination<br />
of the Ministry of Industry and<br />
<strong>Tech</strong>nology and with the financial<br />
support of the World Bank<br />
through KOSGEB and TÜBİTAK,<br />
will be auspicious for our country,<br />
our business world and our<br />
sector. Within the scope of our<br />
country’s 2053 Net Zero Emission<br />
vision and our chemical sector’s<br />
2030 vision of sustainability, I<br />
find this project, which supports<br />
the activities to prepare for green<br />
transformation, very important<br />
and I wish our sector, which is<br />
mostly composed of SMEs, will<br />
be able to benefit from this valuable<br />
support.<br />
Minister Çavuşoğlu announced<br />
that they will support the efficient<br />
green transformation of industrialists,<br />
entrepreneurs and SMEs<br />
with the “Turkey Green Industry<br />
Project” and that the project,<br />
which has a budget of 450 million<br />
dollars, will be carried out under<br />
the coordination of the Ministry<br />
of Industry and <strong>Tech</strong>nology in<br />
cooperation with KOSGEB and<br />
TÜBİTAK.<br />
With the KOSGEB Green Industry<br />
Support Program that has<br />
entered into force, SMEs will be<br />
supported up to 14 million Turkish<br />
Liras for the installation of solar<br />
energy systems within their own<br />
structure; green transformation<br />
projects for energy, water and<br />
raw material efficiency, sustainable<br />
and climate-resilient waste<br />
recycling will be supported up to<br />
4 million Turkish Liras; companies<br />
engaged in R&D and innovation<br />
activities for green production,<br />
higher energy and resource<br />
efficiency and private sector-led<br />
collaborations will be provided<br />
with TÜBİTAK support.<br />
We see that the “Green Growth<br />
<strong>Tech</strong>nology Roadmap” focuses on<br />
6 sectors. Among the 6 sectors, it<br />
is pleasing to see that our chemicals,<br />
plastics and fertilizer sectors<br />
are prioritized and will be able to<br />
apply to the project. Since the<br />
chemicals sector is a strategic<br />
sector that provides input to 27<br />
other sectors, its prioritization and<br />
taking action for green transformation<br />
with these supports will<br />
positively affect all sectors.<br />
“Now is the time to take action<br />
for our future, for sustainable<br />
growth and a strong Türkiye”<br />
As IKMIB, we have identified sustainability<br />
as a focal point in line<br />
with our 2030 vision. In this context,<br />
we work on green transformation,<br />
circular economy and digital<br />
transformation. Transformation<br />
projects require high costs and<br />
capital. In this sense, it is of great<br />
importance that our companies<br />
are supported by our government.<br />
Now is the time to take action for<br />
our future, for sustainable growth<br />
and a strong Türkiye.<br />
We recommend that our companies<br />
apply for the projects<br />
called for under the Green Industry<br />

As the chemicals sector, the driving<br />
force of exports, which makes<br />
the greatest contribution to the<br />
development and economy of our<br />
country, we will continue to work<br />
with all our strength to achieve<br />
our goals and break new records<br />

Pointing out that there is a revival in<br />
the textile and related industries in<br />
the European and American markets,<br />
Durak stated that these regions will<br />
need high quality materials without<br />
supply problems in the coming period.<br />
He explained that they are in the<br />
process of reorganisation for deeper<br />
and more comprehensive access to<br />
the market in North America, especially<br />
in Eastern and Central Europe,<br />
and continued his words as follows;<br />
“We have entered a period in which<br />
it is understood how important<br />
the supply<br />
chain between<br />
global and local<br />
markets<br />
is. For this<br />
reason,<br />
manufacturers<br />
want to<br />
obtain the<br />
best material<br />

vision for tomorrow.”<br />
In <strong>2024</strong>, major part of the<br />
increase in turnover will come<br />
from exports<br />
Yiğit Durak underlined that Durak<br />
Tekstil’s growth in both local and<br />
global markets in recent years has<br />
been achieved by differentiating itself<br />
in technology, art and sustainability<br />
as well as organising production and<br />
sales processes within this framework.<br />
Indicating that they achieved<br />
continuous growth even during pandemic<br />
and crisis periods, he noted<br />
that this is linked to both market<br />
diversification and the expansion of<br />
the product range.<br />
He pointed out that they aim to<br />
increase their turnover by 30% in<br />
dollar terms in <strong>2024</strong>, remarking<br />
that their exports to 77 countries<br />
will constitute the main part of this<br />
increase. Saying; “Our strategy to<br />
grow in foreign markets has become<br />
stronger and more comprehensive<br />
with the contribution of<br />
the Turquality support we<br />
have received,” Durak<br />
added that the effect<br />
of exports on the<br />
increase in turnover<br />
this year will be 80-<br />
90%.<br />

The Comprehensive Guide To<br />
Mattress Packing For Storage<br />
And Transportation<br />
Packing a mattress for<br />
storage or transportation<br />
may initially seem challenging,<br />
but with the right tools<br />
and techniques, it’s a manageable<br />
task. In this all-inclusive<br />
guide, we’ll take you through the<br />
process, from selecting suitable<br />
packing materials to folding your<br />
mattress properly, whether you<br />
use a mattress folding machine,<br />
a mattress roll packing machine,<br />
or do it by hand. By following our<br />
instructions, you’ll become a pro<br />
at packing your mattress in no<br />
time!<br />
Introduction To Mattress<br />
Packing<br />
Packing a mattress in a box is<br />
the most practical way to safeguard<br />
it during storage or transport.<br />
This method shields the<br />
36 <strong>Sleep</strong><strong>Tech</strong> • <strong>May</strong> - <strong>June</strong>
News<br />
mattress from potential damage<br />
due to dirt, dust, and external<br />
elements. You can pack various<br />
mattress types like foam, spring,<br />
latex, or hybrid mattresses, with<br />
the standard mattress box typically<br />
measuring around 80 inches<br />
in length, 80 inches in width, and<br />
10 inches in depth.<br />
To ensure the mattress’s safety<br />
and security during transit,<br />
you’ll need specific materials,<br />
including cardboard boxes to<br />
prevent dents and scratches,<br />
bubble wrap or plastic covers for<br />
added cushioning, packing tape<br />
for sealing, and labels for easy<br />
identification.<br />
Once you have all your materials<br />
ready, correctly folding your<br />
mattress is crucial. Begin with<br />
one end of the mattress facing<br />
up and grab both ends of the<br />
folded side. Bring them together<br />
horizontally to form an ‘X’ shape<br />
and fold them across each other<br />
until they are entirely flat. Secure<br />
them with tape before placing<br />
them in the box. Following these<br />
steps ensures your mattress is<br />
well-packed and protected for its<br />
journey.<br />
How To Fold A Mattress For<br />
Proper Packing<br />
Properly folding a mattress is<br />
essential to ensure safe storage<br />
and transportation. Choose an<br />
area with sufficient space, a flat,<br />
clean, and dry surface before<br />
starting the process. Begin by<br />
folding the mattress in thirds,<br />
taking care not to damage the<br />
springs or foam layers.<br />
Next, fold the mattress in half<br />
lengthwise, reducing its size to a<br />
quarter of the original. Tuck the<br />
top edge into the bottom crease<br />
and secure the bundle with<br />
ropes or straps to keep it tightly<br />
bound. Finally, wrap the package<br />
in plastic wrap or bubble wrap<br />
for added protection against<br />
dust and moisture. Label the box<br />
as “Fragile” for careful handling<br />
during transit. These steps guarantee<br />
your mattress will be adequately<br />
packed for safe storage<br />
or transportation.<br />
Tools Needed For Proper<br />
Mattress Packing<br />
The right tools make all the difference<br />
when packing a mattress.<br />
Traditional materials like cardboard<br />
boxes and bubble wrap<br />
are useful, but specialized tools<br />

News<br />
can save time and enhance protection.<br />
A mattress folding machine<br />
efficiently folds mattresses<br />
into compact, transportable boxes,<br />
while a mattress roll packing<br />
machine creates tight mattress<br />
rolls that save space and offer<br />
cushioning. For added protection,<br />
use foam sheets or pads<br />
to provide extra cushioning and<br />
insulation against dust mites and<br />
allergens. Additionally, straps,<br />
rope, and tape are essential for<br />
securing your rolled or folded<br />
mattress in the box for added<br />
security. Having these resources<br />
at your disposal guarantees the<br />
safe packing and transport of<br />
your mattress.<br />
Instructions For Using A<br />
Mattress Folding Machine<br />
Using a mattress folding machine<br />
simplifies the process and<br />
ensures your mattress is properly<br />
folded for storage or transport.<br />
Here are some key considerations<br />
and instructions:<br />
1. **Choose the Right Machine:**<br />
Check the machine’s specifications,<br />
including adjustable<br />
settings for speed, pressure, and<br />
cutting blade to accommodate<br />
different mattress thicknesses.<br />
Ensure it’s compatible with your<br />
power source, either electricity or<br />
compressed air.<br />
2. **Preparing the Mattress:**<br />
Place the mattress on a clean,<br />
debris-free surface within the<br />
machine’s conveyor area. Adjust<br />
machine settings according to<br />
40 <strong>Sleep</strong><strong>Tech</strong> • <strong>May</strong> - <strong>June</strong>
News<br />
your mattress’s size and thickness.<br />
3. **Automatic Bagging and Sealing:**<br />
Cover the mattress with a<br />
layer of film and seal all four sides<br />
to prevent air leakage. Compress<br />
the mattress into a flat-pack.,<br />
4. **Compress and Fold:** Fold<br />
the flat-packed mattress to<br />
reduce its size for easier storage<br />
and transport.<br />
5. **Completing Operations:**<br />
Press the start button and allow<br />
the machine to complete its cycle<br />
(typically about 30 seconds). Turn<br />
off the power before removing<br />
your folded mattress.<br />
Following these steps when<br />
using a mattress folding machine<br />
ensures safe and efficient mattress<br />
packing.<br />
Instructions For Using A<br />
Mattress Roll Packing Machine<br />
Using a mattress roll packing<br />
machine is an efficient method<br />
for packing mattresses that are<br />
too large for standard boxes.<br />
Here are instructions for using<br />
this machine:<br />
1. **Preparation:** Two individuals<br />
are required – one to feed<br />
the mattress into the machine<br />
and the other to operate it. Both<br />
should have experience with<br />
the machinery and follow safety<br />
measures.<br />
2. **Position the Mattress:** Start<br />
by placing the mattress facedown<br />
on a flat surface. Feed one<br />
end onto the machine’s feeder<br />
belt and ensure even pressure is<br />
applied to prevent uneven rolling.<br />
3. **Secure the Roll:** Once the<br />
desired layers are rolled, secure<br />
them tightly with packing tape at<br />
both ends to maintain the rolled<br />
shape.<br />
Using a mattress roll packing machine<br />
makes packing larger mattresses<br />
easier and more efficient,<br />
ensuring they remain protected<br />
during storage and transport.<br />
With this comprehensive guide,<br />
you’ll be well-equipped to pack<br />
your mattress safely, whether<br />
you opt for manual folding or use<br />
specialized packing machines.<br />

Elektroteks: Fairs now mean<br />
prestige and brand value for us<br />
Osman Güler, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Elektroteks,<br />
one of the leading companies in the Turkish mattress components<br />
industry and the main supplier of mattress machinery to the global<br />
mattress industry, stated that they were pleased with the interest<br />
they received at ISPA Expo.<br />
Stating that they already<br />
have solution partner companies<br />
in the USA and Brazil<br />
and that they are no stranger<br />
to the American market, Osman<br />
Güler emphasised that they<br />
are the pioneers of the Turkish<br />
mattress components industry in<br />
terms of expanding to America.<br />
Stating that the ISPA Expo fairs<br />
organized in previous years have<br />
been of great benefit to them in<br />
terms of being effective in the<br />
American market, Güler said that<br />
they have also received efficient<br />
results from the ISPA Expo <strong>2024</strong><br />

fair. Stating that they hosted visitors<br />
from almost every country of<br />
the continent, Osman Güler said;<br />
“As you know, as Elektroteks,<br />
we have been working continuously<br />
developing, improving and<br />
always looking forward for about<br />
35 years. In this process, we<br />
have exported to 140 countries<br />
of the world and we still continue<br />
to do so. Of course, the countries<br />
in the American market are<br />
also among them. At ISPA Expo<br />
<strong>2024</strong>, we encountered intense<br />
interest from visitors from Brazil,<br />
Mexico, Canada, Argentina and<br />
Colombia, especially from the<br />
USA. As I said at the beginning,<br />
this is not a new situation. We<br />
have been serving the American<br />
market for years and the American<br />
mattress industry knows us<br />
closely. In fact, our purpose of<br />
participating in these fairs is not<br />
only to introduce ourselves to the<br />
markets, but also to protect our<br />
brand value and prestige that we<br />
have created so far in all markets<br />
and to build a greater prestige.<br />
But of course, if we evaluate the<br />
overall performance of the fair; it<br />
was a productive and intense fair.<br />
Especially our Turkish companies<br />
came to the forefront in this fair<br />
and as the majority, they created<br />
the impression of a Turkish fair in<br />
the USA.”<br />

Mattregate: We obtained new<br />
opportunities at ISPA Expo <strong>2024</strong><br />
Tayyip Tanrıöven, CEO of Mattregate, stated that they had the<br />
experience of testing the current dynamics in the American<br />
market and the potential of the market at ISPA Expo <strong>2024</strong>.<br />
Stating that they made<br />
preparations for the fair at<br />
least 3 months in advance<br />
together with the sales and<br />
marketing team and the company’s<br />
production engineers,<br />
Tayyip Tanrıöven assessed the<br />
performance of the fair; “The<br />
ISPA fair was very productive for<br />
our company to meet with our<br />
business partners and customers<br />
in America and South America in<br />
<strong>2024</strong>, to meet our potential customers<br />
and to present our latest<br />
products and production capabilities<br />
to our visitors. It also helped<br />
us to determine our 2025 targets<br />
in that region and shed light on<br />
our future targets.” Tanrıöven,<br />
who evaluated that the fair was<br />
directly separated from both the<br />
European and Turkish fairs in<br />
terms of visitor portfolio and potential<br />
as it hosted the customer<br />
population that can make purchases<br />
from both European and<br />
Turkish fairs, said: “As Mattre-<br />

and experience for us to test the<br />
current dynamics and potential of<br />
the market, and it is our greatest<br />
wish that our cooperation in the<br />
region, which is already one of<br />
our main markets, will continue<br />
to increase and contribute to the<br />
exports of both our company and<br />
our country.”<br />
Emphasising that evaluating<br />
customer feedback and the latest<br />
trends in the industry during the<br />
exhibition process will help to further<br />
strengthen product development<br />
and marketing strategies,<br />
Tanrıöven said; “This experience<br />
can provide a solid foundation<br />
for future growth and success<br />
by enabling our company to<br />
maintain its competitive position<br />
and continuously innovate. As<br />
a result, the ISPA exhibition has<br />
contributed greatly to increasing<br />
our company’s influence in the<br />
international arena by enabling<br />
us to both strengthen our existing<br />
business relationships and<br />
discover new opportunities. With<br />
the experience we have gained<br />
for future exhibitions, we will<br />

“For us, the fair was extremely<br />
positive and super exciting,<br />
always busy and full of visits and<br />
important meetings,” said Andrea<br />
Lazzaroni, executive vice president<br />
and chief operating officer<br />
of CT Nassau, based in Mebane,<br />

the Greater Columbus Convention<br />
Center.<br />
Of the attendees, 30% were<br />
from outside the United States.<br />
Kayseri, Turkey-based Boyteks<br />
reported that in one day, the<br />
company had visitors from more<br />
than 50 different countries.<br />
Trends in the industry were easy<br />
to spot. Exhibitors focused on<br />
cost savings, while at the same<br />
time making more eco-friendly<br />
choices.<br />
A number of springs makers<br />
introduced 10-inch coils or coilon-coil<br />
constructions, with an<br />
eye toward reducing the amount<br />
of foam required to create a<br />
mattress. Some introduced<br />
cotton-encased coils for a more<br />
natural composition while others<br />
wrapped springs in recycled<br />
nonwoven fabric.<br />
Adhesives makers, listening to<br />
industry demands for more sustainable<br />
adhesives, touted new<br />
bio-based formulations, which<br />
several producers said were cost<br />
effective, too. Many suppliers<br />
also brought polypropylene adhesives<br />
to make recycling pocketed<br />
coils easier. This type of glue,<br />
when applied to polypropylene<br />
fabric, does not need to be<br />
removed in order to recycle the<br />
nonwoven. One company even<br />
offered an adhesive whose ingredients<br />
included material made<br />
from recycled polypropylene fiber<br />
from mattresses.<br />
In the world of foams, manufacturers<br />
were interested in making<br />
foams taller — and softer. Plus,<br />
infusions of copper and graphite<br />
were still going strong. One<br />
exhibitor showcased lighter<br />
foam formulations to reduce the<br />
amount of fuel needed to ship<br />
the material.<br />
Ticking suppliers also tapped into<br />
the sustainability zeitgeist. Many<br />

highlighted the use of sustainable<br />
yarns in their fabrics. And attendees<br />
saw a new twist in ticking<br />
— the use of artificial intelligence<br />
to help generate design ideas.<br />
In terms of look and feel, fabric<br />
colors trended toward calming<br />
pastels and a feeling of peace<br />
and serenity.<br />
In addition to showing the latest<br />
innovations, the event provided<br />
a taste of a hopeful future for the<br />

people for what seemed like a<br />
very busy show all three days,”<br />
said Chad Antinori, general<br />
manager of Future Coil, headquartered<br />
in Tampa, Florida.<br />
“Customers we talked to seemed<br />

<strong>Sleep</strong>ing soundly on<br />
tempered springs<br />
If you slept like a dream on your mattress last night, it may in part be due<br />
to the heat treatment of the springs in your mattress. Mattress springs are<br />
tempered during their manufacturing process. For this month’s blog we<br />
will start by discussing the history of the mattress and how it developed<br />
into using springs for comfort. Then we will talk about why springs are<br />
tempered and how the tempering process effects the steel.<br />
<strong>Sleep</strong>ing on the cold, hard<br />
ground has always been terribly<br />
uncomfortable. People<br />
began sleeping on primitive beds<br />
about 10,000 years ago, during the<br />
Neolithic period. The word “mattress”<br />
comes from the medieval Arabic<br />
al-matrah, which means “large<br />
cushion or rug for lying on.”<br />
Until the 1800s, people made their<br />
beds from natural materials, such<br />
as straw, feathers and horsehair.<br />
While fluffy, these fillers tended<br />
to clump together to make for a<br />
lumpy bed. The natural fillers would<br />
break down quickly, resulting in uncomfortable<br />
pits of mushy material.<br />
The fillers were also attractive to<br />
bugs and other unwanted bedmates.<br />
The industrial revolution forever<br />
changed the way people slept<br />
through the introduction of coil<br />
springs. First patented for use in<br />
chair seats, steel coil springs soon<br />
found their way into mattresses.<br />
The first coil spring for bedding<br />
earned a patent in 1865. It did<br />
not take long for mattress manufacturers<br />
to realize that placing<br />
a set of uniform springs inside<br />
layers of cushiony upholstery<br />
created a comfortable bed with a<br />
firm, resilient, and uniform tex-<br />

ture. Bedsprings provide the right<br />
balance of support and “give” to<br />
create a comfortable night’s sleep.<br />
In the blink of an eye, the dream of<br />
sleeping on the perfect mattress<br />
became a reality.<br />
Tempered Springs for a Good<br />
Night’s <strong>Sleep</strong><br />
There is more to making a comfortable<br />
bed than simply wrapping<br />
upholstery around any old set of<br />
springs, though. The springs and<br />
other materials must undergo<br />
certain manufacturing processes to<br />
improve their quality. For example,<br />
manufacturers may add flame-retardant<br />
chemicals to mattress upholstery<br />
and filling. They must also<br />
temper the springs to enhance the<br />
quality of the metal in the spring.<br />
The steel used in mattress springs<br />
is quite hard, especially after<br />
undergoing hardening processes<br />
of heating and quenching during<br />
manufacturing. While hardened<br />
steel is strong, it is also quite<br />
brittle. Internal strains caused by<br />
sudden cooling in the quenching<br />
bath can compromise the integrity<br />
of the steel. Tempering reduces the<br />
brittleness in the hardened steel<br />
of mattress springs, and removes<br />
internal strains associated with the<br />
quenching bath.<br />
Tempering is a manufacturing<br />
process that involves heating steel<br />
to a certain temperature and then<br />
cooling it to improve toughness<br />
and decrease brittleness by reducing<br />
the hardness of the steel. The<br />
exact temperature achieved during<br />
the heating process determines<br />
the amount of hardness removed.<br />
Manufacturers will temper very<br />
hard tools at low temperatures.<br />
They temper springs, like those<br />
used in mattresses, at roughly<br />
450F (232C). The tempering<br />
process gives mattress springs<br />
the flex that you feel when you lay<br />
down and the durability to withstand<br />
years of sleep filled nights.<br />

production to social fairness —<br />
to support businesses who are<br />
passionate about their product<br />
design and ethical trade.<br />
76 <strong>Sleep</strong><strong>Tech</strong> • <strong>May</strong> - <strong>June</strong>
The accreditation process aims<br />
to encourage safe and ethical<br />
product development and<br />
innovation, a vision aligned with<br />
Spinks’ history of manufacturing<br />
original and environmentally<br />
friendly components for the<br />
mattress and furniture industries,<br />
company officials said.<br />
Spinks will continue to work<br />
with C2C undergoing a biannual<br />
assessment to analyze its data<br />
and processes and optimize<br />
strategies to continue its trajectory<br />
in innovation and efficient and<br />
sustainable design. Its in-house<br />
approach overseeing all aspects<br />
of the production process aims<br />
to find opportunities to constantly<br />
improve these areas.<br />
“We are delighted to have our<br />
pocket springs for the mattress<br />
and seating markets become<br />
Cradle to Cradle Certified, meaning<br />
we can ensure all our products<br />
are as sustainable as possible,”<br />
said Darren Marcangelo,<br />

The rise of natural plant<br />
fibres being used in<br />
mattresses<br />
It’s safe to say that over the last few years the popularity of Natural<br />
Fibre mattresses has only continued to grow. In particular,<br />
mattresses that use Natural Plant Fibres are on the rise, with many<br />
sleepers opting for them instead of animal fibres.<br />
But what exactly has<br />
caused this rise? And<br />
what makes Natural Plant<br />
Fibres in mattresses a great<br />
choice for you?<br />
Excellent ethical materials<br />
Unlike synthetic alternatives,<br />
natural plant fibres can be continually<br />
replenished over time, and<br />
their supply isn’t nearly as limited<br />
as animal fibres. The plants that<br />
produce these fibres can be<br />
grown and harvested over and<br />
over, which has numerous environmental<br />
benefits, such as the<br />
absorption of C02. Mattresses<br />
that use these natural plant fibres<br />
are great for the environment,<br />
and even the organic wastes<br />
produced during processing can<br />
be recycled and used elsewhere.<br />
For example, organic plant flax<br />
is pretty much waste-free, as the<br />
oil pressed from flax seeds can<br />
be used in a wide range of other<br />
products.<br />

Vegetarian and vegan friendly<br />
Like many other people, you<br />
might be leading a vegetarian or<br />
vegan focused lifestyle, which<br />
means having a suitable mattress<br />
that doesn’t use any animal<br />
products or fibres is a must.<br />
Thankfully, mattresses that use<br />
natural plant fibres are perfectly<br />
suited for this, and we have a<br />
number of vegan and vegetarian<br />
friendly mattresses, such as our<br />
origins reflex.<br />
Effective temperature regulation<br />
Natural plant fibres are not only<br />
incredibly breathable, they have<br />
extremely effective moisture<br />
wicking properties. For anyone<br />
who happens to be a hot<br />
sleeper, a mattress that uses<br />
Natural Plant Fibre fillings can<br />
be a perfect solution to help you<br />
sleep soundly. Take Bamboo for<br />
example, which can quickly wick<br />

providing you with a comfortable<br />
temperature throughout the<br />
night. It can keep you cool in the<br />
summer, and nice and warm on<br />
colder nights.<br />
That fantastic feel<br />
One of the main reasons why<br />
these fibres have become so<br />
popular as a mattress filling is of<br />
course how they make you feel.<br />
These natural plant fibres are<br />
able to cater to any preference,<br />
thanks to the fact that they can<br />
be used individually, coupled<br />
together, and interchanged, to<br />
create a sleep surface that perfectly<br />
comforts and supports any<br />
sleeper.<br />
These fibres are some of the<br />

fillings that you can find. Their<br />
responsiveness and breathability<br />
will perfectly compliment any<br />

How to efficiently roll pack<br />
a mattress<br />
Roll pack is one of the most<br />
common packaging methods<br />
for mattresses. This<br />
packaging method greatly saves<br />
the storage and transportation<br />
space of mattress manufacturers,<br />
and brings great convenience to<br />
the handling and transportation<br />
of mattresses. When we buy<br />
mattresses, we often see that the<br />
mattresses are rolled up in a box<br />
and sent to us when we receive<br />
them, especially sponge latex<br />
mattresses, etc. Now, let’s talk<br />
about how do we roll up a mattress<br />
with our automatic mattress<br />
compression, fold roll packing<br />
machine. If you are a mattress<br />
manufacturer who is troubled by<br />
the mattress packaging problem,<br />
then take a look at this article.<br />
First, pack the mattress<br />
Wrap the mattress by plastic film<br />
automatically by our machine,<br />
with hot sealing function to<br />
achieve a good packaging effect.<br />
Second, compress the mattress<br />
In order to achieve better rolling,<br />
the mattress is usually com-<br />

pressed. Of course, some mattresses<br />
with soft materials, such<br />
as latex mattresses, do not need<br />
to be compressed. It depends on<br />
the material of the mattress as<br />
well as your packaging requirements.<br />
Third, fold the mattress<br />
We provide two options of<br />
half-fold and three-fold, if your<br />
mattress size is large, we recommend<br />
choosing to fold the<br />
mattress.<br />
Then, roll up the mattress<br />
Use our mattress rolling machine<br />
to roll your mattress and end up<br />
with a rolled mattress for easy<br />
handling and storage.<br />
Finally, box the mattress<br />
The last step is to pack the rolled<br />
mattress into a box, which is<br />
usually beautifully printed with<br />
your logo, so that the mattress<br />
can be delivered to your customers.<br />
We have a variety of mattress<br />
compression & fold rolling machines<br />
for you to choose from.<br />
We have corresponding machines<br />
for all the above functions.<br />
If you only want to buy a machine<br />
with one of the above functions,<br />
we can also provide it for you. Of<br />
course, our full-featured integrated<br />
machine has all the above<br />
functions, and its functions can<br />
also be used independently. One<br />
machine can meet all your mattress<br />
packaging needs.<br />

very productive for us<br />
Serkan Elitaş, CEO of Hasplast, said after ISPA Expo <strong>2024</strong> that the<br />
exhibition was productive for them and that they have already<br />
started preparations for the ISPA exhibition to be held in Orlando<br />
in 2026.<br />
Elitaş said that they had the<br />
opportunity to hold b2b<br />
meetings with the important<br />
companies of the American<br />
market and that they evaluated<br />
the meetings well, and that they<br />
made consultations with smallscale<br />
companies to do business<br />
in the future. Elitaş made<br />
the following statements in his<br />
statement; “We had the chance<br />
to meet with many companies<br />
from our important markets at<br />
the ISPA <strong>2024</strong> exhibition held in<br />
Columbus Ohio. The situation<br />
and future of the market were<br />
discussed with both our existing<br />
and potential customers. The<br />
majority of the visitors we hosted<br />
at our stand were companies<br />
with the capacity to export the<br />
products we presented, while<br />
the possibility of doing business<br />
with small-scale producers in<br />
the future was evaluated and<br />
ideas were exchanged. In this<br />
respect, ISPA <strong>2024</strong> exhibition<br />
was very productive for Hasplast.<br />
In 2026, we have already started<br />
our preparations for the ISPA<br />
exhibition to be held in Orlando,<br />
and we hope that Orlando will be<br />
even more productive.”<br />
