"Generell unterscheiden wir zwischen Matratzen mit abnehmbaren Bezügen, die einen teilbaren Rundumreißverschluss haben und festbezogene Matratzen die keinen oder an der Kopfseite mit einem Montagereißverschluß ausgestattet sind."
Talking about the differences between mattresses with removable covers and those with non-removable ones. I can't make head or tail of "Montagereißverschluß", other than that it's a type of zipper. Of course, I've looked up things in Google like "assembly zipper" and "mounting zipper", but have found nothing conclusive. TIA for any light you can shed on this very strange term.

zip for assembly purposes
I think it has to be made clear that this zip is only for the assembly of the mattress.

Comment: "I went with this, but also rather liked "zipper installed by the manufacturer". Many thanks to everyone for your assistance - much appreciated."

zipper installed by the manufacturer
You're right that the latter mattress is one whose cover is not removable, hence the zipper is not meant to be used for unzipping. It was just installed by the manufacturer to facilitate putting the cover on. I'm afraid there is no real equivalent term in English. Hope this helps.

Reference:
non-removable zipper and other suggestions plus links
It might be okay to call it (as you described) non-removable (mattress cover) zip(per) if it really is not removable.
According to one German reference below, sometimes these
top- or bottom/one-sided cover zippers
(that's another way to call them)
can however be removed albeit with some difficulty.
Then you would have to emphasize the assembly bit somehow:
mounted/installed/ built-in (mattress-cover) zip(per)
how about
fitted (cover) zip(per):

# The quilted micro fibre cover has great benefits including anti bacterial, anti fungal, anti dust mite and air permeable
# A fully fitted side zip allows removal of the cover

Matratzen
Matratzenkerne sind in der Regel nicht waschbar. Daher haben funktionelle Matratzen abnehmbare Bezüge, die mit einem über mindestens drei Seiten verlaufenden Reißverschluss –zur leichteren Montage – versehen sind.
Matratzenbezüge mit einem nur über eine Schmalseite reichenden Reißverschluss (sog. Montagereißverschluss) sind nur mit großem Kraftaufwand zu montieren.
http://www.naturbettenhaus.de/pflege.htm
Bei der Fertigung werden Matratzen mit einem Montagereißverschluss gearbeitet, dieser kann von Ihnen nicht geöffnet werden.
Bei Matratzen, die extra mit einem abnehmbaren Bezug bestellt wurden, können Sie selbstverständlich den Bezug zum Lüften oder zum Waschen abnehmen.
