<p>A method and apparatus for forming a mattress having a core formed from a plurality of elongated rows (16) of interconnected coil spring containing fabric pockets (14). A first row of spring encased pockets is placed in a tray (42) in a horizontal position and held in the tray by fingers (78, 80). The tray is mounted on a pivotable plate (34) which is then rotated to a vertical position and moved linearly toward a table (82) containing prior rows to bond the row on the tray to the last row on the table. The tray is thereafter moved linearly and rotated back to its initial position.</p> |
