Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that manufactures bedding such as futons and mattresses, handling everything from cutting to sewing and assembly, including quality control.
Description
Bedding makers use materials such as cotton, down, and synthetic fibers to manufacture a wide range of bedding products, including futons, mattresses, sheets, and covers. First, they cut the fabric based on design drawings or patterns and sew it together using sewing machines or by hand. They evenly fill it with batting or stuffing, shape it, and then complete the product through finishing processes and quality inspections. In addition to mass production line work, they may also handle custom-made production of high-end bedding. Since product durability and comfort depend on it, understanding material characteristics and performing precise work are required.
Future Outlook
Demand for high-end bedding and custom-made products is stable, and acquiring differentiating skills and adapting to digital pattern technology will be required in the future.
