A pillow top mattress is made by first folding a mattress core border strip lengthwise to form at least one integral pillow top border, cutting diamond-shaped notches out of the folded edge, and sewing the free edges of the notches together to form mitered corners. The strip is cut to length, and after its ends are joined together to form a band, it is pulled over the mattress core. The border strip is then secured to the core material, and pillow top insulation is added before a pillow top panel is sewn to the free edge of the border strip.

Method of making mattresses

A pillow top mattress is made by first sewing a mattress core border to respective pillow top borders, forming mitered corners on each, then pulling the combined borders over the mattress core, securing the combined borders to the core material, and then adding pillow top insulation and sewing a pillow top panel to the free edge of each pillow top border.
