Precision Textiles Shifts Mattress Encasement Production to Healthcare Industry

The company’s six-sided, fully enclosed encasement gives healthcare facilities a level 4 barrier option for use on treatment beds. Level 4 classification is the most protective level for textiles used in healthcare facilities.

Part of its SlumberShield brand, the medical-grade encasements provide protection from bacteria, allergens, viruses and fluid while providing a comfortable sleep environment that extends the lifespan of the mattress.

 “This is a time of national emergency, and we wanted to develop a solution for hospitals to provide sterile beds for the influx of patients,” said Scott Tesser, CEO. “Having the expertise in coated fabrics, it’s important that we take our knowledge of textiles and the healthcare system to create a safe, comfortable place for patients to recover. We as a nation are facing incredibly difficult times, but we must come together and focus all of our efforts to helping those in need and flattening the curve.”

SlumberShield features several health benefits including protection against dust mites, allergens, mold, bed bugs and bacteria. The Breathe-a-Barrier allows for air exchange while still maintaining a fluid-proof protective layer, and a three-sided zipper for easy installation and removal. The luxurious and soft fabric is machine washable and reusable to provide a sterile bed environment.

The company recently donated enough medical-grade encasements to meet the needs of the 500-bed Englewood Hospital in Englewood, New Jersey, which is located in an area of the state most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
