Abstract

The global technological development in the jacquard circular weft knit fabric industry, which has enabled the production of multi-layered fabrics with a variety of designs and functional performance.
Nowadays bedsets are covered with up to six different fabrics: A better quality circular knit on the top panel the bed's sleeping surface; a matching or contrasting (usually woven) fabric on the border of the mattress; a matching or contrasting (usually woven) fabric on the foundation side panels; a 'non-skid' woven or non-woven fabric on the surface of the foundation and reverse side of the mattress; and a non-woven dust cover on the under side of the foundation.
Modern mattresses are now widely used, even in the popular markets, whether they have a spring (connected chassis or a pocket chassis), sponge or medical (Rebound or Latex). Made on jacquard machines or double-knit fabrics (circular weft knitting), the two types compete with each other.
Double knit fabrics have a comparative advantage due to their soft and porous feel that is characterized by knitted fabrics, which gives them a cotton appearance in many cases, although cotton threads are not used in their production. Therefore, double knit fabrics are used in high-quality, high-priced mattresses. Studying and developing this type of fabric because it takes up a large amount of the fabrics produced.
So, research is aimed to study the Comparative aesthetic properties for the multi-layered jacquard between  (weft knit fabric and woven fabric), (4) samples were produced on double jacquard weft knitting machines in different designs and (4) samples were woven in jacquard Weaving machine with different designs , The study will show the aesthetic appearance by a questionnaire .
The research was based on the design of mattress fabrics with four different experiments:
First experiment (knitting):
We used polyester yarn of count (600 denier + 900 denier )for laying in yarn, polyester yarn of count 150 denier colored for face and back of Jacquard fabric design to produce mattress fabric with two different  weight 370 g/m2 and 440 g/m2 with the same width.
Second experiment (weaving)
We used polyester yarn count 1200 denier for lying in yarn, polyester yarn count 150 denier colored for face and back of Jacquard fabric design to produce mattress fabric has two different weight 330 g/m2 and 390 g/m2 with the same width.
Third experiment (knitting):
We used polyester yarn of count 1200 denier for laying in yarn, spun cotton of count 30/1 Ne colored for face and back of Jacquard fabric design to produce mattress fabric with with two different  weight 310 g/m2 and 330 g/m2 with the same width .
Fourth experiment (weaving)
We used polyester yarn count (600 denier + 900 denier ) for laying in yarn, spun cotton of count 30/1 Ne colored for face and back of Jacquard fabric design to produce mattress fabric has two different  weight 360 g/m2 and 405 g/m2 with the same width .ر
