A method of packaging a bedding product in order to create a plastic film package in which the bedding product is individually packaged. First and second webs of extruded plastic film are unwound from first and second web rolls, passed between rollers and across opposed first and second surfaces of the bedding product before being cut and joined together in order to create a plastic film package. Each of the first and second webs have a uniform width and a varying thickness across the width in order to provide increased protection along the ends of the packaged bedding product.

[ I claim:] [6.] A method of packaging a bedding product, said bedding product having a generally planar first surface, a generally planar second surface, a longitudinal dimension and a transverse dimension, said longitudinal dimension being greater than said transverse dimension, said method comprising:providing first and second web rolls of extruded plastic film, each of said web rolls comprising a web of extruded plastic film rolled about a core, each of said webs of extruded plastic film having a pair of opposed side edges defining a width of said web, each of said webs having a pair of opposed side portions and a central portion between said side portions across said width of said web, said side portions having a uniform cross-sectional thickness and said central portion having a uniform cross-sectional thickness, said cross-sectional thickness of said side portions of said web being greater than the cross-sectional thickness of said central portion of said web,passing said webs of extruded plastic film transversely past said first and second surfaces of said bedding product, said bedding product being oriented such that said transverse dimension of said bedding product is generally parallel said opposed side edges of said webs,cutting each of said webs of extruded plastic film so as to create pieces of said extruded plastic film, said pieces of extruded plastic film being on opposite sides of said bedding product, andjoining said pieces of extruded plastic film together about the periphery of said bedding product, enclosing the bedding product in a plastic film package.
