Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On June 11, 1996, PFI Subsidiary, Inc. ("Newco"), PFI Acquisition Corp.
("PFI Acquisition"), Jody B. Vitale, Perfect Fit Industries, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of General Felt Industries, Inc. ("Perfect Fit"),
General Felt Industries, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Foamex L.P.
("General Felt"), and Foamex L.P., a 98% owned equity investee of Foamex-JPS
Automotive L.P. ("FJPS"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as
amended, (the "Agreement") pursuant to which PFI Acquisition would acquire all
of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Perfect Fit through the merger of
Newco with and into Perfect Fit.

     On August 1, 1996 (the "Closing Date"), Newco was merged into Perfect Fit
and PFI Acquisition acquired all of the outstanding stock of Perfect Fit. Also,
on or prior to the Closing Date, (1) Perfect Fit distributed certain assets to
General Felt and Foamex L.P. and General Felt assumed certain liabilities of
Perfect Fit and (2) Foamex L.P. contributed Perfect Fit's intercompany loan and
accrued interest thereon of approximately $75.4 million to General Felt which in
turn contributed the same to Perfect Fit.

     In accordance with the Agreement, on the Closing Date, PFI Acquisition paid
General Felt $45.4 million ("Purchase Price")  in cash consideration for the 
merger. In addition, Perfect Fit made approximately $2.0 million of payments
against its intercompany loan with Foamex L.P. The Agreement provides that the
Purchase Price is subject to adjustment for changes in the net assets, as
defined, of Perfect Fit. Such adjustment to the Purchase Price will be
determined after completion of a closing balance sheet of Perfect Fit as of the
Closing Date, and pursuant to the Agreement, any unresolved dispute concerning
an adjustment to the Purchase Price will be subject to binding arbitration.

     In the Agreement, Foamex L.P. and certain of its subsiaries ("Foamex") made
various representations and warranties as to Perfect Fit, and Foamex has agreed
to indemnify PFI Acquisition for any breaches thereof. Such indemnification
provisions cover, among other matters, breaches of agreements and covenants of
Foamex contained in the Agreement and certain other agreements and certain
liabilities arising from environmental and other matters. Pursuant to the
Agreement, Foamex International Inc. and its affiliates agreed not to compete
with Perfect Fit for a period of three years from the Closing Date.

     On the Closing Date, Foamex entered into an agreeent relating to the sale 
of products to Perfect Fit.

     On the Closing Date, Foamex repaid $12.0 million of outstanding bank term
loan borrowings. Also, Foamex intends to use the remaining net proceeds to 
offer to redeem the Foamex L.P. 9 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2000 (the
"Senior Secured Notes").

Item 5.  Other Events

    (b)  Pro Forma and Restated Historical Financial Information

         The following pro forma and restated historical condensed consolidated
         financial statements filed with this report:

                  Historical condensed consolidated statements of operations
restated for discontinued operations:

                  o         Year ended December 31, 1995
                  o         Thirteen weeks ended March 31, 1996

         The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of FJPS as of
         March 31, 1996 reflects the financial position of FJPS after giving
         effect to the disposition of the net assets of Perfect Fit as discussed
         in Item 2 and assumes the disposition took place on March 31, 1996.
         Such pro forma financial statements also include the effects of the
         repayment of $12.0 million of bank term loan borrowings of Foamex L.P.
         and the redemption of approximately $31.1 million Senior Secured Notes
         at a redemption price of 101% of face value. The historical condensed
         consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31,
         1995 and the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 1996 have been restated to
         reflect discontinued operations associated with the sale of Perfect
         Fit. The unaudited pro forma financial statements are presented for
         informational purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of
         FJPS's results of operations for the periods presented that would have
         actually resulted had the transactions occurred at the beginning of
         such periods, or FJPS's results of operations for any future period.
