Abstract: A mattress closing tape formed of a crochet-type warp knitted construction comprises a set of parallel warp yams knitted in a series of lengthwise-extending chain stitches, first and second base filling yams of a first color (or other visual indicia) inlaid widthwise in opposing relation to each other through the chain stitches of the warp yarns to form a base fabric layer predominantly of such color at one fabric face, and third and fourth sets of multiple pattern filling yarns of a differing color (or visual indicia) inlaid diagonally in opposing relation to one another beneath the underlaps of the warp yarns to form a diamond pattern layer predominantly of such differing color at the opposite fabric face.

Abstract: A handle for a mattress, box spring or other bedding structure is formed of an elongate textile web having a lengthwise-extending relatively stiffer main body and relatively softer lengthwise-extending cushioning edges along opposite sides of the main body. The main body preferably comprises two face-abutting layers of the textile web with the cushioning edges connecting the two layers at each opposite side of the main body. The textile web may be of a crochet-type warp-knitted fabric comprised of interknitted warp and filling yarns.
