Cotton batting is the all-natural choice in home furnishings and many other industrial applications important to today's lifestyles.

After the longest fibers of the cotton plant have been made into apparel and home furnishings fabric, cotton linters (fibers removed from the cottonseed) textile mill by-products are processed into cotton batting.

The product takes many forms. It is supplied as batts, in rolls, stitched or sewn to netting and other materials, and even as a needled product.

Batts are used in innerspring construction as insulators, cushioning padding, and for fill. In futons, batts are used exclusively as layered components to fill out the futon. Smaller batts are supplied for use in upholstery and tailoring of the corners of a mattress.

Stitched pads can be used directly on innerspring units as an insulator to the spring unit. Cotton batting can be supplied in roll form for quilting and in the quilt top of a mattress. Needled cotton is also used as a cushioning layer and is inherently strong and resistant to product set. End-product manufacturers such as furniture makers use cotton batting to provide safe, predictable body to high-quality home furnishings.

Cotton is comfortable, is a natural product, is a renewable resource, and is environmentally friendly.
