Abstract
A mattress construction includes a watermattress bladder or inner spring mattress subassembly which is enclosed in a quilted mattress cover. This cover typically includes an outer fabric, a backing and an inner fabric which are quilted together. The outer fabric is colored and typically provided with a pattern or indicia. The fabric itself consists of a loose weave of threads providing openings or interstices in the fabric. The backing, typically formed of foam or fiber, is provided with pigments which are visible through the interstices of the fabric and provide a background color for the color in the fabric. In this manner, the pigments in the backing material enhance the distinct images of the indicia and add to the depth and richness of the mattress color. This provides the mattress cover with substantially colorfast characteristics increasing its chroma and color quality to provide an attractive, long lasting, appealing appearance.
