We started as a cotton batting company in the late 1800. DiOttavio and Sons in Phila PA made superior cotton batting for the mattress and furniture industry when in the day mattresses were mainly made of all cotton, we also produced Upholstery cotton, Polyester, Wool and Kapok. We take raw material (i.e. cotton) run it through our fine opener which cleans and opens the fibers to prepare for garneting. The garnet machines align the fibers to be cross-lapped and layered into lofty batts of cotton which are than trimmed and cut to size.In an effort to diversify our product offerings, we started researching the Futon Mattress market. Knowing the company already produced fine quality cotton batting, we incorporated this material as the final protective layer to our newly designed futon mattresses. Our initial prototype mattress series (Bronze, Silver, and Gold), were produced using a combination of cotton and polyurethane foam. Once our new, state-of-the-art, Airlay system was commissioned, we redesigned our next generation futons (Spirit, Liberty, and Freedom) using a combination of cotton and Fibre Foam. The new “Fibre Foam” gave us the flexibility to manufacture a variety of mattress types by simply altering the density of the material. We tirelessly research new production alternatives to continue to manufacture top quality futons at a reasonable price.
