A mattress assembly includes a chassis having top and bottom walls and first and second sidewalls that each extend from the top wall to the bottom wall. Inner surfaces of the walls and the sidewalls define an interior cavity. The top and bottom walls each include a first section that is connected to the first sidewall and a second section that is connected to the second sidewall such that the first sections are pivotable relative to the first sidewall and the second sections are pivotable relative to the second sidewall. The first section of the top wall is pivotable relative to the second section of the top wall and the first section of the bottom wall is pivotable relative to the second section of the bottom wall. A spring assembly is configured to be positioned within the interior cavity.

Furniture pieces are disclosed that have rigid portions that can be separated from other portions of the furniture, with the rigid and other portions being foldable to reduce the space needed for packaging, shipping, and storage. Some embodiments of the present invention are directed to bedding, and more particularly to box springs. In these embodiments, the box spring can comprise a frame that is surrounded by a fabric cover that can have padding or cushioning. The frame can be removed from the fabric cover and can be folded or collapsed to reduce its size. The fabric cover can also be folded, with the now folded frame and cover having a greatly reduced size for shipping and storage. This reduces the cost of shipping and storage for the box spring, and also provides the option to the end user to more easily store the box spring when desired.

It is a feature of a porous body (10, 20) comprising a three-dimensional network of node points (200) joined to one another by struts (100), and a void volume (300) present between the struts (100), that the struts (100) have an average length of 200 to 50 mm, the struts (100) have an average thickness of 100 m to 5 mm, and that the porous body has a compression hardness (40% compression, DIN EN ISO 3386-1: 2010-09) in at least one spatial direction of 10 to 100 kPa. The porous body according to the invention combines the advantages of a conventional mattress or cushion with ventilatability which results from its porous structure and is not achievable in conventional foams. The invention further relates to a method of producing such a porous body (10, 20) and to an apparatus comprising said body (10, 20) for supporting and/or bearing a person.

A mattress 10 that provides an edge support feature that remains firmly supportive throughout bending of the mattress on an adjustable foundation, while also providing a flat, tailored finish for the side of the mattress. The mattress has a base, an upper surface, and two side walls extending between two end walls such that the base, upper surface, side walls, and end walls define a cavity comprising a mattress support, such as a spring unit, that supports the upper surface above the base. The side walls and/or end walls comprise an edge support system having a plurality of overlapping edge segments.

The invention relates to a one-piece suspension device for interposing between a mattress and a support structure. The device includes a platform defining a bearing plane for the mattress, a fastener point for fastening to the support structure, and a resilient section. The resilient section is more resilient than the platform in a direction perpendicular to the bearing plane and it is interposed between the platform and the fastener point in the direction perpendicular to the bearing plane to absorb compression forces. The one-piece suspension device is shaped such that any axis perpendicular to the bearing plane and passing through the one-piece suspension device intersects the one-piece suspension device along a single intersection segment. The resilient section has at least two elastic hinges with different flexibilities.

The invention discloses a packaging structure of a folding bed and a packaging method thereof. The packaging structure includes a folding bedstead including at least three unit frames, the adjacent unit frames are mutually hinged, and a mattress capable of being rolled up. When the folding bedstead is packaged, a space for receiving the rolled mattress is formed by the unit frames. The packaging method includes the following steps: S1, folding the unit frames of the folding bedstead to form a space; S2, rolling up the mattress and putting the rolled mattress into a space formed by the unit frame; S3, putting the folded folding bedstead into the box. The invention method allows for the most space efficient packing possible thereby reducing the amount of space occupied by the bed and reducing transportation costs.

A pressure sore prevention mattress is provided alternating pressure points on the body of an occupant that is easily transformable between two stable configurations. The four-layer mattress construction has a top foam pad, a webbing layer, a dynamic layer of deformable panels trapezoid-shaped four-bar mechanisms that deform to produce an undulating pattern of peaks, and a base. Panel geometry can determine peak height. The mattress has a spatially hollow geometry that allows natural air convection through the breathable top foam pad to enable drying of moisture as well as the use of forced air convective drying or cooling. The mattress can be transformed from one configuration to the other while the occupant is on the mattress.

According to an aspect of the present invention, provided is a fragmented bed comprising: a mattress formed of a material on which a user can comfortably lie; and a bed unit which has a space in which the mattress can be seated and is formed so that the mattress can be spaced apart from the floor, wherein the bed unit comprises: a lower support frame having a space in which the mattress can be seated in the upper surface thereof; and bed legs which are formed so that the lower support frame is spaced apart from an installation surface.

The corner retainer for a pillow is an insert that is adapted for use with a pillow that is contained within a pillow casing. The pillow casing is formed in a rectilinear shape. The corner retainer for a pillow is inserted into the combination of the pillow contained within the pillow casing such that the corner retainer for a pillow can be subsequently removed. The corner retainer for a pillow is placed in the corner of the pillow casing in such a manner that the pillow corner retainer for a pillow stiffens the pillow casing such that the pillow casing does not appear floppy. The corner retainer for a pillow comprises a cover, a padding, and a bung. The padding and the bung are contained within the cover.
