Hello to all on this forum.  I am looking to form a small mattress company offering layered latex mattress in a rather underserved market (in my opinion).  Mostly brick and mortar some online.

I've searched and have made many inquiries online, and have had little luck locating a mattress encasing manufacturer.  This might not be the best idea, but I thought I would ask this forum if they have knowledge of any suppliers that would fit this description.  I know that many of you are in the business and will most likely not be too willing to provide this information, but I thought I would ask.

Would any of you have any leads?  Feel free to PM me.

im in the business, but not on the manufacturing end of things.  I don't really think any active members are though.  From what I understand though, this is going to be the most difficult component to make or have made for you in your specifications.  You are probably better off investing in a small volume quilting machine and buying fabrics and quilting materials in bulk and having these components built in house.  I am thinking most companies capable of building professional and clean looking encasements are probably already in the business for themselves.  

I am finding that, so far, you are correct Budgy.  I like the idea of manufacturing in house, however, obviously it's a lot more time consuming, may not necessarily get the cost benefit, and not my core strength.  With that said, however, it does present a lot of opportunities, especially if done right!  I appreciate your input Budgy.  I am going to start researching this as well.  Any manufacturer's out there?
