Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The products covered by this investigation
are all types of youth and adult mattresses.
The term ‘‘mattress’’ denotes an assembly of
materials that at a minimum includes a
‘‘core,’’ which provides the main support
system of the mattress, and may consist of
innersprings, foam, other resilient filling, or
a combination of these materials. Mattresses
also may contain: (1) ‘‘upholstery,’’ the
material between the core and the top panel
of the ticking on a single-sided mattress, or
between the core and the top and bottom
panel of the ticking on a double-sided
mattress; and/or (2) ‘‘ticking,’’ the outermost
layer of fabric or other material (e.g., vinyl)
that encloses the core and any upholstery,
also known as a cover.
The scope of this investigation is restricted
to only ‘‘adult mattresses’’ and ‘‘youth
mattresses.’’ ‘‘Adult mattresses’’ are
frequently described as ‘‘twin,’’ ‘‘extra-long
twin,’’ ‘‘full,’’ ‘‘queen,’’ ‘‘king,’’ or ‘‘California
king’’ mattresses. ‘‘Youth mattresses’’ are
typically described as ‘‘crib,’’ ‘‘toddler,’’ or
‘‘youth’’ mattresses. All adult and youth
mattresses are included regardless of size and
size description or how they are described
(e.g., frameless futon mattress and tri-fold
mattress).
The scope encompasses all types of
‘‘innerspring mattresses,’’ ‘‘non-innerspring
mattresses,’’ and ‘‘hybrid mattresses.’’
‘‘Innerspring mattresses’’ contain
innersprings, a series of metal springs joined
together in sizes that correspond to the
dimensions of mattresses. Mattresses that
contain innersprings are referred to as
‘‘innerspring mattresses’’ or ‘‘hybrid
mattresses.’’ ‘‘Hybrid mattresses’’ contain two
or more support systems as the core, such as
layers of both memory foam and innerspring
units.
‘‘Non-innerspring mattresses’’ are those
that do not contain any innerspring units.
They are generally produced from foams
(e.g., polyurethane, memory (viscoelastic),
latex foam, gel infused viscoelastic (gel
foam), thermobonded polyester,
polyethylene) or other resilient filling.
Mattresses covered by the scope of this
investigation may be imported

Jkt 262001
independently, as part of furniture or
furniture mechanisms (e.g., convertible sofa
bed mattresses, sofa bed mattresses imported
with sofa bed mechanisms, corner group
mattresses, day-bed mattresses, roll-away bed
mattresses, high risers, trundle bed
mattresses, crib mattresses), or as part of a set
(in combination with a ‘‘mattress
foundation’’). ‘‘Mattress foundations’’ are any
base or support for a mattress. Mattress
foundations are commonly referred to as
‘‘foundations,’’ ‘‘boxsprings,’’ ‘‘platforms,’’
and/or ‘‘bases.’’ Bases can be static, foldable,
or adjustable. Only the mattress is covered by
the scope if imported as part of furniture,
with furniture mechanisms, or as part of a
set, in combination with a mattress
foundation.
Excluded from the scope of this
investigation are ‘‘futon’’ mattresses. A
‘‘futon’’ is a bi-fold frame made of wood,
metal, or plastic material, or any combination
thereof, that functions as both seating
furniture (such as a couch, love seat, or sofa)
and a bed. A ‘‘futon mattress’’ is a tufted
mattress, where the top covering is secured
to the bottom with thread that goes
completely through the mattress from the top
through to the bottom, and it does not
contain innersprings or foam. A futon
mattress is both the bed and seating surface
for the futon.
Also excluded from the scope are airbeds
(including inflatable mattresses) and
waterbeds, which consist of air- or liquidfilled bladders as the core or main support
system of the mattress.
Also excluded is certain multifunctional
furniture that is convertible from seating to
sleeping, regardless of filler material or
components, where such filler material or
components are upholstered, integrated into
the design and construction of, and
inseparable from, the furniture framing, and
the outermost layer of the multifunctional
furniture converts into the sleeping surface.
Such furniture may, and without limitation,
be commonly referred to as ‘‘convertible
sofas,’’ ‘‘sofabeds,’’ ‘‘sofa chaise sleepers,’’
‘‘futons,’’ ‘‘ottoman sleepers,’’ or a like
description.
Also excluded from the scope of this
investigation are any products covered by the
existing antidumping duty orders on
uncovered innerspring units from the
People’s Republic of China, South Africa,
and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. See
Uncovered Innerspring Units from the
People’s Republic of China, South Africa,
and Socialist Republic of Vietnam:
Continuation of Antidumping Duty Orders,
84 FR 55285 (October 16, 2019).
Also excluded from the scope of this
investigation are bassinet pads with a
nominal length of less than 39 inches, a
nominal width of less than 25 inches, and a
nominal depth of less than 2 inches.
Additionally, also excluded from the scope
of this investigation are ‘‘mattress toppers.’’
A ‘‘mattress topper’’ is a removable bedding
accessory that supplements a mattress by
providing an additional layer that is placed
on top of a mattress. Excluded mattress
toppers have a height of four inches or less.
The products subject to this investigation
are currently classifiable under Harmonized
