Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

          On August 28, 1996, JPSGP Inc. ("JPSGP"), Foamex-JPS Automotive L.P.
("FJPS") and Collins & Aikman Products Co. ("Collins & Aikman") entered into an
Equity Purchase Agreement, as amended (the "Agreement") pursuant to which
Collins & Aikman would acquire all of the outstanding partnership interest in
JPS Automotive L.P. ("JPS Automotive") from JPSGP and FJPS. JPSGP and FJPS are
both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Foamex International Inc. (the "Company"),
which guaranteed the obligations of these subsidiaries under the Agreement.

          On December 11, 1996 (the "Closing Date"), JPS Automotive was sold to
Collins & Aikman for a purchase price, which is subject to post-closing
adjustments, of $220.1 million which includes approximately $194.4 million of
net indebtedness of JPS Automotive (the "Purchase Price"). In accordance with
the Agreement, on the Closing Date, Collins & Aikman paid the Company $25.7
million in cash purchase price, subject to post-closing adjustments. The
Agreement provides that the Purchase Price is subject to adjustment for changes
in the net assets, as defined, of JPS Automotive. Such adjustment to the
Purchase Price will be determined after completion of a closing balance sheet of
JPS Automotive 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.

          Upon the closing of the sale, the Company and Collins & Aikman entered
into agreements that include products utilizing the Company's proprietary
SMT(TM) technology for automotive carpet backed systems.

          JPS Automotive, which reported 1995 revenues of approximately $312.1
million, is a supplier of automotive carpet, trim and textiles in North America.
JPS Automotive is headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina and has six
manufacturing, distribution and sales facilities in South Carolina, North
Carolina, and Michigan, as well as a joint venture in Mexico.

                 Automotive. The unaudited pro forma financial statements are
