An individually pocketed coil spring for use in a bedding or seating product, is disclosed, as well as pocket spring mattresses including such pocketed coil springs. The individually pocketed coil spring include: a coil spring having an upper end and a lower end; a casing forming a pocket enclosing said coil spring; and a cushioning pad located above said upper end of the coil spring. The casing provides a first compartment enclosing the coil spring, and a second compartment enclosing the cushioning pad. The first and second compartments are separated from each other.

A mattress including a customizable and replaceable mattress core, two or more customizable and replaceable foam sections, a customizable and replaceable panel and at least one connection device. The two or more customizable and replaceable foam sections are positioned on a surface of the customizable and replaceable mattress core. The customizable and replaceable panel is positioned over the two or more customizable and replaceable foam sections. The connection device has detachably mating connector portions. One of the detachably mating connector portions is secured adjacent at least a portion of an outer periphery of the customizable and replaceable panel. Another of the detachably mating connector portions is secured adjacent at least a portion of another outer periphery of the surface of the customizable and replaceable mattress core. The detachably mating connector portions of the connection device detachably secure the customizable and replaceable panel to the customizable and replaceable mattress core and retain the position of the two or more customizable and replaceable foam sections.

A mattress assembly is provided that includes a mattress core having a bottom surface and a top surface opposite the bottom surface, and a mattress topper positioned adjacent to the top surface of the mattress core. The mattress topper includes a plurality of coil springs, an upper fabric layer extending above the plurality of coil springs, and a lower fabric layer extending below the plurality of coil springs. The lower fabric layer is connected to the upper fabric layer around each coil spring such that the upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer collectively form a fabric pocket encasing each coil spring. The mattress topper further includes a padded layer positioned atop the upper fabric layer, with the padded layer connected to the upper fabric layer by ultrasonic welds and/or tufts. Methods of producing a mattress topper for connection to a mattress core are further provided.

Vertically lapped nonwoven material is used without cross lapped nonwoven to provide enhanced breathability and comfort in mattresses by replacing foam material in one or more of, including all of top panel quilts, layers underneath the top panel quilts, and in side blocks which surround spring supports. The vertically lapped nonwoven may provide advantages in terms of cost, manufacturing ease, robustness in mattress design, while at the same time providing the user with a much more comfortable sleeping experience.

A mattress assembly includes a base core layer and an inner core located over the base core layer. The inner core includes coil springs. The mattress assembly also includes a side panel assembly located around a perimeter of the inner core. The side panel assembly includes a spacer fabric located over and transverse to the base core layer. The spacer fabric includes a first knit layer, a second knit layer, and an inner fibrous material located therebetween. Methods of forming the mattress assembly are disclosed.

An electric motor driven adjustable mattress has a shared casing in which at least one flat cushion element of a cushion structure and an electric motor driven adjustable support apparatus for supporting the cushion element are accommodated. The support apparatus has two support parts that are adjustable relative to one another, and that on their sides facing the cushion element are provided with spring elements for elastically resiliently supporting the cushion element. For adjusting the support parts relative to one another, an electric motor driven drive apparatus is accommodated in the shared casing.

A body part recognition method and apparatus, a smart cushion, a device, and a medium. The method includes: collecting a plurality of vibration signals by using a plurality of sensor units in a two-dimensional sensor array provided in a smart cushion; obtaining statistics about short-term vibration energy characteristic of each of the sensor units on the basis of the vibration signal collected by the each sensor unit; determining a position of the each sensor unit having a highest short-term vibration energy characteristic as a position of the buttocks; and recognizing the positions of body parts other than the buttocks on the basis of the position of the buttocks using a dynamic programming algorithm or/and a greedy algorithm.

A dual sided innerspring mattress including a first spring assembly having a first support surface formed by a first plurality of discrete zones with a first firmness profile to support an individual and a second spring assembly having a second support surface formed by a second plurality of discrete zones with a second firmness profile to support an individual of a greater height and body weight.

A body support cushion, e.g., mattress, has multiple foam layers, including a viscoelastic foam layer and a reticulated foam layer, and an outer cover. At least one of the foam layers and the outer cover each includes phase change material having latent heat properties that provide two intervals of dermal cooling.
