In the present paper, the materials for making three mattress covers (an antibacterial mattress cover, a mattress cover intended for hospital use and a hypoallergenic mattress cover) were treated and tested in order to obtain basic information about the chemical treatment of fibers in the new mattress covers. The constituent components of the three mattress covers were each undersampled by cutting each layer then, it was passed to the collection of samples in small, labeled bags. Each sample was sampled over its entire layer depth, with section areas of about 1-2 cm. This paper highlights the difference in finishing treatments, depending on the areas of use of knitted materials intended for mattress covers. Thus, in addition to the differences between the solutions that are applied to these materials, we can also observe that those intended for hospital use are without preservatives and are not washed, because the whole solution is eliminated from the treatment process, the ones that are contrary to the materials from which the hypoallergenic mattress covers are made, which after each wash becomes more and more beautiful and qualitative. On the machine called Squeezing Pader Machine of Tai Ping Yang, the treatment of the materials analyzed in this work was performed, both by treatments applied to the surface of the materials and by immersion, obtaining a load with 100% solution.
