Bed & Mattress Construction

All Craftmatic Beds are made in modern, state-of-the-art plants using advanced manufacturing techniques. The same expensive parts and manufacturing methodology, quality control and care used to manufacture high priced adjustable hospital beds and dental chairs are used in the construction of Craftmatic beds. Component parts are carefully assembled and rigorously tested for long life and reliability.

The bed's high-strength steel frame is protected from rust and corrosion by dipping in non-toxic lead free enamel paint. Hubbell Linear Actuators (lift motors) that elevate and lower the head and foot of Craftmatic Beds are designed to operate reliably, smoothly, quietly and virtually maintenance free for the life of the bed. Attractive industrial strength casters allow the bed to be moved easily and effortlessly for cleaning beneath the bed. Headboards, center boards, thigh boards and foot boards are made out of 1.5 cm thick plywood deck, 1.5 cm oriented strand board and/or 1.5 cm thick special warp resistant core particle board with high load-carrying capability.

Craftmatic Beds are Underwriter Laboratories, Inc., tested and approved ( UL Report File #E75656). Craftmatic Adjustable Beds are the finest in the world!

All Australian mattresses are constructed using a hot glue laminating process. This technique is designed to prevent mattress components from shifting and interfering with one another during the thousands of flexes Craftmatic mattresses go through during a lifetime of use.

In Australia the mattress has a 364 coil count Bonnell spring (for Model 1 Full/Double size industry standard bed). The Bonnell unit contains 364 five turn oil-tempered coil springs that are tied together using a double-knotted tying process with oil-tempered steel helical wire. The Craftmatic mattress is engineered to bend! Next, a flexing insulator, polypropylene net, is placed over this spring system to isolate it from adjoining layers. A garnetted synthetic fiber pad is placed on top of the flexing insulator, then multiple layers of high quality non-allergenic foam cushioning are added. Next a decorator cover of the finest ticking available, a natural cotton & polyester blend product produced to exacting Craftmatic standards is attached. A hot glue laminating process is used to attach the synthetic fiber pad, layers of foam and overlying ticking in order to extend the life of the mattress and enhance mattress comfort.

Our mattress construction techniques result in a superb dual sided, reversible, dual-density mattress -- luxuriously firm with maximum support on one side, and a plush/soft side with almost 2 additional inches of luxurious fill materials including 39 mm (1 1/2") of specialised convoluted/eggcrate foam on the other. All mattresses, regardless of the adjustable bed model they are made for, meet Craftmatic's demanding specifications for comfort, shape retention and support.
