A comfort layer for a bedding or seating product has slow-acting pockets characterized by the individual springs of the comfort layer being pocketed with either semi-impermeable or impermeable fabric. Each seam joining opposed plies of fabric around each of the coil springs of the comfort layer may be segmented, allowing air to flow between the segments, thereby increasing the luxury feel of the comfort layer. The method of making the comfort layer includes compressing the springs and creating pockets with a welding horn and an anvil.

A textile product and a method for manufacturing thereof are discussed. The textile product comprises about 5-95% natural down clusters by weight and about 95-5% of a secondary fiber material by weight. The method for manufacturing the textile product includes opening a fiber material, adding natural down clusters to the fiber material, mixing the fiber material with the natural down clusters to form a homogeneous mixture, and filling the textile product with the homogeneous mixture.

A cushioning network structure comprising a plurality of random loops arranged in a three-dimensional orientation, wherein the plurality of random loops are formed from an ethylene/a-olefin interpolymer composition having a highest DSC temperature melting peak in the range of from 90.0 C. to 115.0 C.; a zero shear viscosity ratio (ZSVR) in the range from 1.40 to 2.10; a density in the range of from 0.860 to 0.925 g/cc, a melt index (12) in a range of from 1 to 25 g/10 minutes when measured according to ASTM D1238 at 190 C. and 2.16 kg, a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) in the range of from 2.0 to 4.5.

A chair can include armrest apparatuses. Each of the armrest apparatuses can be configured so an arm pad is connectable to an armrest without the use of a mechanical fastener (e.g. a screw, a bolt, etc.) and without the use of an adhesive or welding, and without the use of mechanical tools (e.g. screw driver, hammer, etc.) by use of interlocking mating profiles defined in the structure of the arm pad and structure of the armrest to which the arm pad is attached. Embodiments of the chair can be configured as a side chair, task chair, or other type of chair having at least one armrest or other type of armrest apparatus.

A cushioning mat comprises a plurality of cushioning bumps arranged in a plurality of rows, the bumps of each row alternating with substantially flat bottom portions. Each bump comprises a top wall and a side wall which extends from a mat base identified by the bottom portions. The top wall and the side wall define an inner bump cavity. The bumps of adjacent rows are staggered with each other. In at least a portion of the side wall a vent opening is made which places in communication the inner cavity of the bump with the outside of the bump.

Cushioning material comprising a microcoil sheet and a surface cover material, the microcoil sheet comprising an array of wire springs held between two layers of fabric, the layers of fabric being joined together to form discrete spring-containing pockets; wherein the cover material is fastened to the microcoil sheet by one or more seams. Also provided is a cushioned or upholstered article (such as a mattress, mattress topper, seat, chair or loose cushion) comprising cushioning material according to any preceding claim. Also provided is a method of manufacturing cushioning material) comprising a microcoil sheet and a surface cover material, the microcoil sheet comprising an array of wire springs held between two layers of fabric, the layers of fabric having been joined together to form discrete spring-containing pockets; the method comprising fastening the cover material to the microcoil sheet by one or more seams.
