How we built our Latex Hybrid Mattress - Part 1: 1” Super Heavyweight Circular Knit Panel Ticking

Ticking fabric is a popular choice – it's usually a cotton or linen fabric mix tightly woven with a timeless stripe. 

Yes, ticking fabric is typically washable, despite being labelled as dry clean only. Ticking fabric is usually made from 100% cotton and is known for its durability. It features a strong twill weave, which contributes to its dense and tightly constructed nature.


It doesn't retain heat like polyester and it will last far longer unlike quilted fabrics which can stretch, bobble or sag in a matter of months.


This comfort layer consists of maximum body contouring with the feeling like you’re lying on a cloud.

If your new bed isn’t as comfortable as you thought it’d be, you may need to spend some time breaking in a mattress. This process usually takes about 30 to 90 days. 


Give it Time – The break-in process can take a minimum of a month. The more complex the mattress, the more time you should allow it to break in and form your specific body.


Double Check the Foundation – If your mattress is laying on a faulty foundation (sagging, tearing, etc.), it can alter how your new bed breaks in. Plus, different mattress types need different foundation types. Memory foam and Latex perform better on platform-style bases.
