5 Ways We Work with Mattress Manufacturers – Custom Gel Solutions

From Gel Sheets and Foam Integration to Ready-to-Sell Cooling Mattress Toppers

Cooling Gel Solutions for Mattress Manufacturers & Bedding Brands

Looking to add cooling comfort, pressure distribution, or differentiated features to your mattress collection?

At Jiangmen Kunbao New Materials Co., Ltd., we work with mattress manufacturers, bedding brands, and distributors to develop customized gel solutions.

Different mattress factories have different production processes. Some prefer to purchase gel sheets and complete the assembly themselves, while others want finished cooling products that can be sold directly.

To meet these needs, we offer five cooperation methods, covering semi-finished gel materials, foam integration, internal cushioning inserts, and finished mattress toppers.

Way 1: Buy Gel Sheets and Bond Them to Mattress Foam

For manufacturers with their own foam bonding and mattress assembly processes.

In this cooperation method, mattress manufacturers purchase customized gel sheets from Kunbao and bond them directly onto their foam layers.

The gel sheets can be attached using a compatible PU water-based adhesive. After bonding, the excess material can be trimmed according to the required mattress dimensions.

How It Works

  1. Kunbao manufactures gel sheets according to the agreed specifications.

  2. The mattress factory prepares the required foam layer.

  3. The gel sheet is bonded to the foam surface using a suitable adhesive.

  4. Excess material is trimmed, and the gel-foam layer is incorporated into the mattress.

Key Advantages

  • Compatible with existing foam bonding processes

  • Flexible choice of foam thickness and density

  • Customized gel sheet sizes and patterns

  • Suitable for mattress comfort-layer development

Best for: Mattress factories that already have foam bonding equipment and want to add a gel layer to their existing mattress designs.

Way 2: Buy Fabric-Backed Gel Sheets for Sewing into Mattress Covers

For manufacturers with mattress cover sewing and quilting capabilities.

Kunbao supplies gel sheets with a fabric backing, allowing mattress manufacturers to incorporate them into suitable textile constructions.

The customer can sew the fabric-backed gel components into the mattress cover or integrate them during mattress assembly.

How It Works

  1. Kunbao produces gel sheets with a compatible fabric backing.

  2. The mattress manufacturer receives the prepared gel components.

  3. The factory sews or incorporates the gel components into the mattress cover.

  4. The finished cover is assembled with the mattress.

Key Advantages

  • Suitable for textile-based mattress construction

  • Fabric backing supports further sewing and assembly

  • Reduces the need for the customer to laminate the gel themselves

  • Custom sizes, shapes, and backing materials available

Best for: Mattress manufacturers that prefer to integrate gel through their existing cover production process.

Way 3: Buy Thick Gel Inserts for Internal Mattress Support

For manufacturers developing targeted comfort and support zones.

Instead of covering the entire mattress surface, selected gel components can be positioned inside the mattress structure.

For example, a customized 20 mm thick gel insert can be incorporated into a prepared foam area to create a localized cushioning zone.

The size, thickness, hardness, and placement can be developed according to the mattress design.

How It Works

  1. The mattress manufacturer identifies the target cushioning area.

  2. Kunbao develops gel inserts according to the required specifications.

  3. The factory prepares the corresponding foam structure.

  4. The gel inserts are placed inside the mattress assembly.

Key Advantages

  • Targeted gel placement rather than full-surface coverage

  • Customizable dimensions and hardness

  • Suitable for selected comfort and support-zone designs

  • Can be integrated into existing foam constructions

Best for: Mattress manufacturers developing differentiated internal cushioning structures.

Way 4: Buy Finished All-Season Gel Mattress Toppers

For mattress brands seeking a complete topper suitable for year-round product collections.

Kunbao can supply a finished gel mattress topper that is placed directly on top of an existing mattress.

This version has a total thickness of approximately 1.3 cm and combines four functional layers.

Product Structure

From the cooling surface to the bottom:

  1. Gel Layer – Provides a cool-touch, flexible contact surface.

  2. Foam Layer – Adds cushioning and comfort.

  3. Waterproof Film – Provides a protective barrier within the construction.

  4. Velvet Fabric – Forms the soft textile backing.

Key Advantages

  • Finished topper construction

  • No additional foam bonding or sewing required

  • Approximately 1.3 cm total thickness

  • Suitable for year-round bedding collections

  • Can be sold as a separate mattress accessory

Best for: Mattress brands and bedding distributors looking to expand their product range with a finished, multi-layer gel topper.

Way 5: Buy Finished Foldable Cooling Gel Mattress Toppers for Spring & Summer

For manufacturers, brands, and distributors seeking ready-to-sell seasonal cooling products.

This cooperation method focuses on a lightweight, foldable cooling gel mattress topper designed for spring and summer.

The topper features a blue cooling gel surface with a knitted fabric backing.

It can be placed directly on an existing mattress without additional assembly.

Product Structure

  • Top: Cooling Gel

  • Bottom: Knitted Fabric

The topper is designed to be foldable for convenient handling and storage.

Key Advantages

  • Ready-to-sell finished product

  • Cooling gel contact surface

  • Knitted fabric backing

  • Suitable for spring and summer bedding collections

  • Foldable and convenient to store

  • No additional manufacturing required

Best for: Mattress brands, wholesalers, and distributors that want to offer a seasonal cooling accessory without changing their existing mattress production process.
