BOSTON —

The National Textile Association (NTA) has formed the Textile Bedding Committee. Dan River, Springs Industries and WestPoint Stevens have joined the NTA and will serve on the committee for top-of-the-bed product manufacturers.

The Textile Bedding Committee will function as a committee of the Home Fashions Council which also includes the Upholstery Fabrics Committee, formed earlier this year.

The committee, representing manufacturers of textiles bedding products such as sheets, comforters, pillows and blankets, filed comments with the Senate Commerce Committee in opposition to the current wording of the American Home Fire Safety Act on July 14.

Linwood Wright of Dan River serves as chairman of the Textile Bedding Committee.
