Quilting is the stitching technique used to join or attach the mattress' surface layers of fibres to the surface material (the ticking).
There are various different techniques which can be used to join these layers, but Quilting is common. Traditionally, Quilting offers a softer surface feel than Tufting as the layers are not held together so tightly.
Also see Diamond Stitching or Micro Quilting for variations on Quilting.
