Comforter Manufacturer, Private Label and Hospitality
Channel, diamond or box quilting to stated stitch density
Fleafel manufactures quilted comforters for hotel groups, national retailers and private label bedding brands, on two multi-needle quilting machines. Channel, diamond and box quilting are in production, with stitch density stated on the specification rather than left to a default. Fill type and fill weight are made to your specification. Minimum order is 150 pieces per size and colourway in stock fabric, or 300 dyed to your colour.
