Precision Textiles Reports Burn Test Gains

Precision Textiles has reported strong burn test results and rising production output at its Arizona manufacturing and distribution facility. The announcement highlights the company's continued investment in flame-retardant materials for the bedding industry. It reinforces Precision Textiles' position as a reliable FR component supplier for West Coast manufacturers.

Arizona Facility Passes Demanding CFR 1633 Burn Tests

In February 2026, Precision Textiles conducted full-scale, open-flame mattress burn testing at its 60,000-square-foot Arizona facility. Multiple latex mattresses incorporating PurLoft® Organic batting — produced on-site — were evaluated under CFR 1633 federal flammability standards.

The tests included constructions with elevated fuel loads, representing some of the most demanding scenarios in mattress compliance testing. Results confirmed consistent performance across all evaluated builds, validating the reliability of materials produced at this location.

With deep technical expertise in CFR 1633 compliance, Precision Textiles helps mattress manufacturers navigate complex flammability requirements and avoid costly testing failures. This burn test validation directly supports customer confidence in West Coast-sourced FR materials.

Product Portfolio Manufactured at the West Coast Site

Established in 2021, the 60,000-square-foot Arizona facility produces both FR and non-FR highloft solutions for mattress panels and borders. The site has become a core part of Precision Textiles' U.S. manufacturing footprint.

Key products manufactured at the facility include:

  • Endure® FR stitchbond — flame-retardant stitchbond fabric for mattress applications
  • IQ Fit® GlassFree socks and caps — glass-free encasement solutions
  • FR-backed laminated borders — border components with integrated flame resistance
  • PurLoft® Organic batting — organic batting with confirmed CFR 1633 compliance

This product mix supports a wide range of bedding constructions, from standard builds to high-fuel-load configurations requiring rigorous flammability performance.

Production Growth Outpaces Opening Volumes

When the Arizona plant launched, it shipped approximately two truckloads of product per day to meet initial demand. Current output now exceeds that volume, with production continuing to scale as regional customer demand grows.

The facility began with a team of 11 employees and has since added two more personnel while maintaining a highly organized, efficiency-focused production environment. Keith Martin, vice president of Precision Textiles, described the facility's progress:

"The Arizona facility is doing exactly what we built it to do. We're seeing strong production output, high efficiency, and consistent product performance. Just as important, we're in a great position to support additional volume and respond quickly to our West Coast customers."

What is CFR 1633 and why does it matter for mattress manufacturers?

CFR 1633 is the U.S. federal open-flame flammability standard for mattress sets. Compliance is mandatory for all mattresses sold in the United States, and failures can force costly product redesigns and production delays.

What products does Precision Textiles manufacture at its Arizona facility?

The Arizona facility produces FR and non-FR highloft solutions, Endure® FR stitchbond, IQ Fit® GlassFree socks and caps, FR-backed laminated borders, and PurLoft® Organic batting for mattress panels and borders.

How does the Arizona location benefit West Coast bedding manufacturers?

Positioning production near West Coast customers allows Precision Textiles to reduce freight costs and shorten lead times. This proximity enables faster responses to demand fluctuations and improves supply chain efficiency for regional manufacturers.
