Mattress coverings are manufactured utilizing conventional equipment and using a dummy mattress core. The mattress coverings include a zippered access on the bottom panel, for example, where the dummy core can be removed after the mattress covering is completed. When shipped to a regional assembly facility the zippered access is utilized for insertion of a select mattress core that corresponds to the size of the dummy mattress core about which the mattress covering was assembled. The zippered access is zipped shut and the mattress is ready for sale, transport, and use. Great efficiencies are available where the mattress cover is assembled in a first location, shipped to a sale and use location and also regionally close to where mattress cores are manufactured, and the mattress covers are assembled with cores into mattresses.
