German term or phrase: Steppträger
This is from an ad for a mattress:

Fülling: 100% Polyesterwatte
Steppträger: 100% Baumwolle

I've also seen the word used in this way:

Standard-Bezug: Versteppt mit Steppträger.

Any ideas? I'm guessing something to do with stitching, but I'm not sure what.

Thanks for any help!

quilt backing


Explanation:
A somewhat tentative suggestion based on:
(i) the diagrams in the German catalogue below (including English-language versions)
(ii) some examples from the US
seeming to suggest that the "Steppträger" is a backing/substrate/support/base, etc. for the quilt/quilting/quilted or quilting layers, etc.

(see page 172, for example)
Frottee-Stretchbezug aus 75 % Baumwolle, 25 % Polyester beidseitig versteppt mit 400 g/m² Polyestervlies
Stretch towelling cover made of 75 % cotton, 25 % polyester; quilted on both sides with 400 g/m² polyester fleece
Steppträger: Trikotware aus 100 % Polyester
Quilting support: Tricot made from 100 % polyester
Also:
Steppträger: Trikotware aus 100 % Polyester
Quilting base: jersey 100 % polyester
