Mayer & Cie offers a range of circular knitting systems for varied segments of the mattress market.

Knitted fabric has good point elasticity, is pleasantly soft, voluminous, permeable to air, washable and capable of production in wide-ranging different weights, the company says.

Knitted fabric eliminates the need to use cost-intensive special yarns to achieve sufficient elasticity. Circular knit goods are less susceptible to warping and bulging, permit better further processing due to their volume, can be produced in tubular form and eliminate the need for quilting as an additional work step. Modern mattress covers are predominantly removable and washable. The use of knitted fabric allows the cover to be easily removed and replaced.

The top-tier segment of mattresses currently ranges between 1,400 and 1,700. euros, and the Mayer & Cie OVJA 1.6 EE and the OVJA 1.1 TTRB are designed for this segment.

Mayer & Cie also offers optimum machine equipment to supply the medium segment accounting for about a quarter of the total market with its OVJA 1.6 E model and most recently the OVJA 1.6 EM. These two systems allow extensive patterning versatility and simple resetting, as well as efficient knitting of even small production runs, the company says.

Over half of the market is shared by mass-priced mattresses between 50-300 euros and Mayer & Cie provides OVJA 2.4 E with 92 feeders and higher output for this segment.
