Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

       On February 27, 1998, Foamex International Inc. ("Foamex  International")
and certain of its affiliates engaged in a series of transactions (collectively,
the "Transaction") designed to simplify the Company's corporate structure and to
provide future operational flexibility.

       Prior to  consummation  of the  Transaction,  Foamex  L.P.,  an  indirect
subsidiary  of the Company  ("Foamex"),  and Foamex's  wholly-owned  subsidiary,
General Felt Industries,  Inc.  ("GFI"),  entered into a Supply Agreement and an
Administrative Services Agreement.  In addition,  Foamex settled its outstanding
indebtedness  to GFI with a $4.8  million in cash and a $34.0  million  two year
promissory note (the "Foamex/GFI Note").

       As  part  of  the  Transaction,   Foamex  Fibers,  Inc.,  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of GFI, was merged with and into GFI, and Foamex LLC, a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of Foamex,  was merged with and into Foamex. In addition,  FMXI, Inc.
and Crain Industries,  Inc., both  wholly-owned  subsidiaries of the Company and
general partners in Foamex, were merged.

       Pursuant to a Transfer  Agreement,  dated as of February 27, 1998, by and
between  Foamex  and Trace  Foam LLC  ("Trace  LLC"),  Foamex  transferred  (the
"Transfer") to Trace LLC all of the outstanding common stock of GFI, in exchange
for (i) the assumption by Trace LLC of $129.0 million of Foamex's  indebtedness,
and (ii) the  transfer  by Trace  LLC to  Foamex  of a 1%  non-managing  general
partnership interest in Foamex. The amount of consideration was arrived at based
on an  independent,  third party  appraisal of GFI. As a result of the Transfer,
GFI ceased being a subsidiary of Foamex,  and was released from all  obligations
under Foamex's Senior Subordinated Notes.

       Upon  consummation  of  the  Transfer,  pursuant  to  an  Asset  Purchase
Agreement,  dated as of February 27, 1998, by and among Foamex  Carpet  Cushion,
Inc., a wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company ("Foamex Carpet"),  the Company,
Trace LLC and GFI,  GFI sold  substantially  all of its assets  (other  than its
owned real estate and the Foamex/GFI  Note) to Foamex Carpet in exchange for (i)
$20.0  million in cash and (ii) a  promissory  note  issued by Foamex  Carpet in
favor of Trace LLC in the amount of $70.2  million  (the "New GFI  Note").  Upon
consummation of the transactions  contemplated by the Asset Purchase  Agreement,
Foamex Carpet entered into a Credit Agreement with the institutions from time to
time party thereto as lenders,  the institutions from time to time party thereto
as  issuing  banks  and  Citicorp  USA,  Inc.  and The Bank of Nova  Scotia,  as
administrative  agents,  which  provides  for up to $20.0  million in  revolving
credit borrowings.

       The cash portion of the  considerations  was borrowed by Foamex under its
credit  agreement,  dated as of June 12,  1997,  as amended  and  restated as of
February 27, 1998, by and among Foamex,  FMXI, Inc., the institutions  from time
to time  party  thereto as  lenders,  the  institutions  from time to time party
thereto as issuing banks and Citicorp USA, Inc. and The Bank of Nova Scotia,  as
administrative  agents, which cash portion was then distributed by Foamex to the
Company  and then  contributed  by the Company to Foamex  Carpet.  The amount of
consideration  was arrived at based on an independent,  third party appraisal of
GFI.

       The acquired assets constitute equipment and other physical property used
by GFI in the carpet  cushion  business.  Foamex Carpet intends to continue such
use.

       Trace International Holdings, Inc. indirectly owns approximately 46.0% of
the common  stock of the Company and 100% of the equity  interests in Trace LLC;
therefore,  the  Company,  Foamex,  GFI,  Trace LLC and  Foamex  Carpet  are all
affiliated  entities.  Marshall S. Cogen, Philip N. Smith, Jr., Robers H. Nelson
and Tambra S. King are each  officers of the Company,  GFI and Trace LLC,  while
Mr. Smith, Mr. Nelson and Ms. King are also officers of Foamex Carpet. Mr. Cogan
is a director of the Company, GFI and Foamex Carpet, and Mr. Cogan and Mr. Smith
are each members of the Board of Managers of Trace LLC.

ITEM 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits

a)     Financial Statements of Business Acquired

       Not applicable.

b)     Pro Forma Financial Information

       The  Transaction  was accounted  for in a manner  similar to a pooling of
       interests since the entities are under common control.  Accordingly,  the
       consolidated  financial  statements  have been  restated  to exclude  the
       operations  of GFI and Foamex  Fibers,  Inc. The  following  consolidated
       statements  of  operations  and  consolidated  balance  sheets  of Foamex
       reflect the restated financial statements.

       The  historical  investment in GFI of  approximately  $103.1  million and
       $97.0 million,  respectively,  has been eliminated from partners'  equity
       (deficit).  The pro forma impact on the restated financial statements for
       the assumption of the $129.0 million of indebtedness, the distribution to
       Foamex  International  and  related  expenses  and  fees  would  increase
       restated  partners equity (deficit) by approximately  $93.0 million.  The
       Transaction  has been  accounted  for and disclosed in Foamex's Form 10-Q
       for the period ended March 29, 1998.

       The  Transaction  did not have  significant  impact  on the  consolidated
       financial  statements  of  Foamex  International,   therefore  pro  forma
       financial  statements  are not  included  in this Form 8-K/A.  Also,  the
       Transaction   has   been   accounted   for  and   disclosed   in   Foamex
       International's Form 10-Q for the period ended March 29, 1998.
