As mattress designs grow more complex and comfort layers stack higher, meeting federal flammability standards has become an increasingly critical consideration. At the same time, bedding brands are navigating a crowded marketplace and adapting to the challenging tariff situation—driving many to seek innovation from within the mattress itself for a competitive edge. In response, Precision Textiles has introduced its new and improved IQFIT Performance PLUS 2.0 FR Sock.
“Our customers are turning to us for forward-thinking solutions to help them maintain positive momentum during a very challenging time,” said Bob O’Connell, executive vice president marketing and merchandising. “That’s why, our research and development team continue to push the innovation envelope—developing components that give our partners an FR solution that aligns with today’s market conditions.”
The new PLUS 2.0 FR Sock provides maximum flame protection with multiple weight options and sizes that deliver customers a more cost-effective, streamlined approach to their CFR 1633 component needs. Part of the company’s IQFIT family of products, the new sock is glass free and delivers government compliance even with the highest fuel load mattress designs.
The product was engineered by Garrett Graven, Precision Textiles’ product development manager and resident textile expert. “Our goal with the new and improved sock was to optimize the balance
between materials performance and manufacturing efficiency,” said Graven. “The enhanced char strength and coverage area allow bedding manufacturers to maintain compliance with CFR 1633 standards with our lighter weight, high-performance design. It’s a targeted solution that helps our customers continue with their initiatives more efficiently, especially in today’s fiercely competitive marketplace.”
Precision Textiles IQFIT Glass Free product line continues to evolve while staying at the forefront of the mattress industry as it addresses changes in regulatory compliance along with fluctuating market conditions. The entire IQFIT line carries both UL Greenguard Certification and USDA Bio-Preferred Certification, underscoring the company’s commitment to low chemical emissions and the use of renewable materials.
Precision Textiles has decades of experience in the bedding industry and was named Best Component Supplier in a 2024 Reader Ranking Survey conducted by Furniture Today. The company has long been committed to developing innovative solutions that not only meet the highest standards of safety and quality but also contribute to a healthier planet.
