Abstract (en)
A cover for a mattress, cushion or similar upholstery item 10, comprises a cover panel 12 having a central area 22 of relatively inelastic material and a peripheral area 24 of relatively elastic material. Thus conventional panel fabrics can be combined with elastic material such that the feel of the cover can be maintained whilst the panel can deflect in use to enhance comfort and can be kept taut and wrinkle-free when unused. A skirt 16 of the cover has a higher elastic modulus relative to the cover panel elastic areas. This provides an "anchorage" against which the elastic and the interconnected relatively inelastic areas of the cover panel may be maintained in tension.
