A method of manufacturing a three-dimensional netted structure by (a) extruding molten filaments of a thermoplastic resin downward from a die via a mouthpiece of the die having a plurality of holes such that the filaments drop under the force of gravity in between drawing-down units, (b) drawing down the assembly of extruded filaments at a speed lower than the filament dropping speed by the drawing-down units, and (c) cooling the resultant filaments with a liquid. The drawing-down units are submerged or partly-submerged in a liquid. The distance between the drawing-down units is smaller than the width of an assembly of the extruded filaments. Four surfaces of the assembly of the filaments are contacting the drawing-down units before or after the drawing-down units are submerged.
