Mattress rebuilding is a repair service subject to sales tax because it restores tangible personal property to or near its former condition. The entire charge for rebuilding a mattress is subject to sales tax. Materials which become part of a mattress may be purchased exempt from tax by the mattress rebuilder because they pass ultimately to the customer. Other equipment and supplies purchased by a mattress rebuilder are subject to sales or use tax.
