The partnership underscores the industry's growing demand for simplified, integrated FR solutions that reduce assembly time, lower costs, and improve mattress quality.

“We partnered with Culp Home Fashions to rigorously test and commercialise the IQ FR Inlay across various ticking designs and mattress configurations, all of which meet or exceed CFR 1633 safety standards,” said Scott Tesser, CEO of Precision Textiles. “Our customers seek innovative, all-in-one FR solutions, and this product delivers while maintaining superior fabric aesthetics and functionality. It’s a game-changer for the bedding industry.”

The IQ FR Inlay yarn eliminates the need for laminated or standalone internal FR solutions, enhancing comfort, fabric aesthetics, and performance. The collaboration ensures that manufacturers have access to high-quality, performance-driven solutions that seamlessly integrate flame resistance into mattress covers.

Culp Home Fashions President Tommy Bruno commented: “We appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with Precision Textiles on what we believe is transformative technology for the bedding industry. Our team at Culp continues to prioritise product development and innovation, and we could not be more excited to leverage our global production platform to offer customers new products incorporating Precision Textiles' patented IQ FR Inlay technology.”

With both the finished fabric and mattress covers incorporating the IQ FR Inlay available through multiple supply locations, mattress manufacturers worldwide can reliably access this revolutionary technology, supporting efficient production and broader industry adoption.
