A partially foam encased pocketed spring assembly is made in a fully automated assembly machine. A first foam rail is introduced into the assembly machine and glued to upper and lower substrate webs. A first string of pocketed springs is then glued to a side surface of the first foam rail between upper and lower substrate webs and glued to the upper and lower substrate webs. Additional strings are joined together to create a pocketed spring interior. A second foam rail is then introduced into the assembly machine and glued to an outer string and to the upper and lower substrate webs to create a core. Third and fourth foam rails are glued to the core.

An apparatus for upholstering a truss allows an operator to staple a fabric web to the truss, rotate the truss, further staple the semi-finished truss and cut the fabric web. The truss is fully upholstered after the end surfaces of the truss are wrapped up in fabric and the fabric stapled in place. The apparatus may accommodate different size trusses. A web of fabric is pulled around at least one roller in the apparatus by rotation of two vise mechanisms on opposite sides of the truss.
