Durak Tekstil threads that meet the standards required for high-quality, long-lasting and comfortable products demanded by the mattress industry, while also offering new possibilities, will be exhibited at ISPA EXPO 2026. The fact that the fair is being held in the U.S.—one of Durak Tekstil’s key target markets—also carries great significance.

One of the leading manufacturers of industrial sewing and embroidery threads, Durak Tekstil will present its solutions at booth 711 during ISPA EXPO 2026, to be held in Orlando, Florida, on March 10–12. At the fair, highlighted by the slogan “The Future of Sleep Starts Here!”, Durak Tekstil will not only showcase its high-quality and technical threads for mattresses and quilting—considered the most important components of the sleep industry—but will also focus on increasing its brand awareness in the U.S. market.

With the establishment of Durak USA Inc. in early 2025, the company entered the American market directly, significantly strengthening its supply processes and ability to reach local markets. At ISPA EXPO 2026, one of the global meeting points of the mattress and related industries, Durak Tekstil will present a wide range of sewing and embroidery threads to industry professionals at its booth, including Durak Duma, Durak Duraless, Durak Durabobbins, Durak Fire Safe P-Aramid and Durak Bug Safe.

Yiğit Durak, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Durak Tekstil, stated that they attach great importance both to the mattress and quilting industry in terms of application segments and to the U.S. as a target market. “Durak Tekstil touches every aspect of life with its sewing and embroidery threads that serve many different industries. We provide solutions across a wide range of fields, from automotive to apparel, from medical to protective textiles. The mattress and quilting industry is also among our most important markets. The sewing and embroidery threads we develop offer manufacturers new opportunities not only through their performance but also through their functional properties. In addition to our fire-resistant threads, our pest- and insect-repellent threads create significant added value for this industry. Alongside the products we will exhibit throughout the fair, we will also emphasize that we are a reliable partner as a Türkiye-based brand. For our customers, the principle of uninterrupted and on-time delivery is just as important as offering the best threads. As Durak Tekstil, we will take part in ISPA EXPO 2026 to further advance our export-oriented growth strategy,” he commented.

5 Solutions and dozens of application opportunities

At ISPA EXPO 2026, the Durak Tekstil booth will highlight Durak Duma, Durak Duraless, Durak Durabobbins, Durak Fire Safe P-Aramid and Durak Bug-Safe threads.

Produced from 100% high-tenacity continuous filament polyester, DURAK Duma® sewing thread sets new standards for users. With stable thread tension and a non-collapsing structure, it provides up to three times more thread compared to its counterparts, offering fewer bobbin changes. Thanks to its solid core, DURAK Duma® enables manufacturers to achieve up to 10% higher productivity. Delivering high efficiency and performance, this sewing thread meets a wide range of demands, from home textiles to mattress and quilting, embroidery and outerwear, lingerie and the automotive industry.

Durak Duraless® pre-wound bobbin thread offers at least twice or more length advantage compared to standard use. Treated with special lubricants to enhance sewing performance, the thread helps improve sewing quality and production efficiency. With stable thread tension from start to finish, Durak Duraless® is safely used across many applications, including workwear, apparel, mattress and quilting, underwear and home textiles.

Responding to manufacturers’ increasing cost sensitivity, DURAK Durabobbins® thread delivers minimum waste and maximum benefit. Produced from core-spun and staple fiber polyester, the length variation between each bobbin is kept at a very low level of around 1% thanks to precision winding technology. Preferred by manufacturers demanding high sewing quality, the thread also proves its success in long-lasting applications with its color fastness values.

Durak® Fire Safe P-Aramid® sewing thread, with fire resistance up to 500°C, enables safer products in the mattress industry. The natural light-yellow P-Aramid thread is also designed to meet the flame retardancy and high-strength requirements of the automotive and thermal insulation industries. By reducing the risk of rapid fire spread and helping prevent loss of life and property, Durak® Fire Safe P-Aramid® thread is certified in accordance with internationally recognized standards such as EN ISO 15025 for flame resistance.

One of the most significant challenges for the mattress industry is pests. Offering a clear solution to this issue, Durak Bug Safe® thread repels tiny organisms such as mites from sewing areas, preventing their proliferation. Without using chemicals harmful to the environment or human health, this thread stands out as a sustainable solution by keeping pests away from the area. Thanks to special finishing processes, Durak Bug Safe® thread enables neat sewing appearance even on fine fabrics while maintaining its pest-repellent properties for up to 30 washes.

At ISPA EXPO 2026, visitors will have the opportunity to closely examine solutions that add value to the mattress and related industries at Durak Tekstil’s booth 711, as well as to obtain detailed information about innovative, R&D-driven technical threads.
