An improved chair seat design is disclosed comprising a foam cushioning unit having top, middle, and bottom layers of foam secured together into a single unit. The bottom layer of foam includes a recess or slot sized to accommodate a void cell cushioning layer. The void cell cushioning layer is inserted into the recess: slot of the foam cushioning unit. Preferably, the void cell cushioning layer comprises an upper layer having an array of smaller cells with peaks pointing downwardly and pockets facing upwardly into the foam cushioning unit, and a lower layer having larger cells with peaks pointing upwardly and pockets facing downwardly relative to the foam cushioning unit. The foam cushioning unit with void cell cushioning layer inserted is then preferably attached to a contoured seat pan to form an improved office chair seat.

A mattress comprising a first layer comprising at least one channel extending laterally from a first side of the layer to an opposite side of the layer, and a plurality of foam spheres or hemispheres disposed in each channel. A mattress assembly comprising the mattress and a mattress foundation.

A deformable body, wherein the body is constructed from a multiplicity of layers of a polymer construction material and in which a construction direction is defined perpendicular to the layers. The body preferably comprises layers with a multiplicity of curve pairs (10) which are formed by the construction material and which run in the same direction as one another, the curve pairs comprise in each case two periodic curves (20, 30) running oppositely with respect to one another, and the curve pairs comprise portions of maximum spacing to one another (40, 41, 60, 61) and portions of minimum spacing to one another (50, 51, 70, 71). In one part of the layers, in adjacent curve pairs (10), at least one portion of maximum spacing (41) of one curve is connected to a portion of maximum spacing (60) of an adjacent curve, in a further part of the layers, in adjacent curve pairs (10), at least one portion of maximum spacing (41) of one curve is not connected to a portion of maximum spacing (60) of an adjacent curve, in a further part of the layers, in adjacent curve pairs (10), at least a part of the portions of minimum spacing (50, 51) are connected to one another, and in a further part of the layers, in adjacent curve pairs (10), at least a part of the portions of minimum spacing (50, 51) are not connected to one another. The invention also relates to a method for producing the body and to a device for supporting and/or bearing a person having the body according to the invention. The boy may be used inter alia as a mattress or as a vehicle seat.

A bed according to an embodiment may include a topper, at least one firmness adjuster provided under the topper, and a bedframe configured to have an adjustable position and to support the firmness adjuster. There may be a plurality of firmness adjusters corresponding to a plurality of areas of the bed, and each firmness adjuster may include a plurality of cushions provided in a cushion case and a drive to adjust the firmness of the plurality of cushions. The drive may change a position of a first spring relative to a second spring in each of the cushions to change a perceived firmness by a user lying on top of the topper and the firmness adjusters. A dryer may be provided under the bedframe to keep the cushions and topper dry.
