Mattress handling apparatus comprising a cradle having spaced parallel grids adapted to receive a mattress therebetween, said cradle being rotatable about a horizontal axis to present one open end in a position to receive the mattress and when the mattress is wholly contained to an inverted position to present the other open end to said position for discharge of the mattress. There are conveyor belts on the grids for moving the mattress onto the cradle and off the cradle and reversibly drivable mechanism for moving the grids toward and away from each other to clamp the mattress prior to turning and unclamp it after turning. The apparatus is adapted to be used in conjunction with mattress closing apparatus to receive a mattress assembly which has been sewn on one side, invert it, return it to the closing apparatus for sewing on the other side and finally to effect discharge of the completed mattress.
