An electric bed package includes a bedstead and a packing member. The bedstead includes an upper body supporting unit, a lower body supporting unit and a buttock supporting unit, which all have a flat shape. The upper and lower body supporting units are parallel stacked in a way that the buttock supporting unit is arranged by a lateral side of a stack of the upper and lower body supporting units and the buttock supporting unit is approximately perpendicular to the upper body supporting unit. The packing member packs and retains the bedstead therein. The electric bed package has a reduced volume, facilitating transportation thereof.

A foundation for a mattress is formed from one or more single-layer, unitary foam blocks with supports that extend across each foam block's bottom side. The supports provide crosswise support across a bed frame and can be directly attached to the foam block or may be provided in a kit or separately sourced. The foam block is rigid enough to support a mattress and is compressible so it has a compressed configuration and an expanded configuration, and its bottom side may have channels for the supports. In the compressed configuration, the foundation may be folded and vacuum-sealed in a plastic membrane which provides benefits for storing, shipping, and delivering the foundation. When the foundation is delivered to its place of use, the compressed foundation is removed from its packaging, allowing the foam block to return to its expanded configuration.

In one embodiment, the digital bed system is comprised of an array of support cells. Each support cell is capable of communicating with a controller and increasing and decreasing in firmness in response to commands issued by a controller. The support cells are operatively connected to a communication channel that is also connected to a controller. The controller is capable of receiving data from the support cells and is also capable of issuing commands to each of the support cells. The controller is programmed issue commands to increase or decrease the firmness of individual support cells within the support cells.

An insert adapted to be inserted between a foundation of a bed and a mattress of the bed. The insert includes a frame having a first side rail and a second side rail spaced apart from the first side rail. A plurality of elongate upper slats extend between the first side rail and the second side rail of the frame at a first level with respect to the frame and are spaced apart from one another. A plurality of elongate lower slats extend between the first side rail and the second side rail of the frame at a second level located below the first level of the upper slats. Each lower slat is located below a gap formed between a pair of adjacent upper slats. A mounting member resiliently supports the ends of two adjacent upper slats and rigidly supports the end of a lower slat that is located below the gap formed between the two adjacent upper slats, whereby the firmness of a mattress overlying the insert can be selectively adjusted.

A bedding system includes a mattress including a sleep surface having air transfer ports. The mattress includes a bottom surface opposite the sleep surface and a side wall that connects the surfaces. The bottom surface and the side wall are made of a material that prevents air flow therethrough. The mattress includes a cavity having a fill material disposed therein and an air flow port that is in communication with the cavity. A hose includes a first end coupled to the air flow port. A pressure generator is coupled to a second end of the hose. The pressure generator is configured to create negative pressure to draw air, moisture or particles in the cavity and/or air transfer ports through the cavity and into the pressure generator and to create positive pressure to move air out of the cavity through the air transfer ports. Methods of use are included.

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.

A mattress for bed frame with bow structure includes a fixed seat and multiple of arc-shaped elastic rods, the mattress is formed by staggered connection of horizontally arranged weft lines and longitudinally arranged warp lines, and the weft lines are unevenly distributed in high-density regions and low-density regions; the multiple of arc-shaped elastic rods are sequentially installed side by side on the fixed seat and in the same direction as the weft lines; the free ends of each of the arc-shaped elastic rods are connected on the edge of the mattress to tension and set up the mattress above the arc-shaped elastic rods. When a user sits on or lies on the mattress, an region of the mattress bearing weight matches the shape of a use's body in contact with the mattress to deform, thereby providing good elastic support for each part of the body.

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 sofa bed includes: a plurality of elastic modules; a body frame having slide rails arranged thereon; and armrest frames disposed at two sides of the body frame along a longitudinal direction of the body frame, respectively. The slide rails on the body frame are configured to enable the plurality of elastic modules to be mounted on the body frame from an outside of the body frame and to slide thereon to predetermined mounting positions, such that the body frame at one side facing the user is provided with the plurality of elastic modules. The angle between the seat and the backrest portion can be locked for improved operation. The elastic modules, which can be easily installed and uninstalled, can improve the comfort of the sofa bed.
