The stock transfers are not the only category of stamps from Pennsylvania which were printed on paper with a security design. The bedding and upholstery stamps also had paper security designs. These stamps are among a number of state revenues whose purpose lies hidden from the casual collector. The words bedding and upholstery appear nowhere on the stamps. Only the "Department of Labor and Industry" gives a clue to their real purpose, to pay a nominal fee or tax on both new and used mattresses or upholstered furniture.

Further they are color coded. The stamps on orange papers were to be used on second hand mattresses or upholstered items to certify that the user had complied with the state's rules on fumigation of these items. Frequently the tags on which the stamps were placed were a similar color (the state says yellow tags were required). New mattresses and upholstered furniture were required to use a white tag with a stamp printed on green papers. The use of stamps became optional in 1961.
