A pocketed spring assembly comprises a plurality of parallel strings of springs, each string joined to at least one adjacent string, each string comprising one piece of fabric folded into first and second opposed plies. Outer pockets are formed along each string by transverse seams joining the first and second plies. One pocketed spring, at least cushion pad and at least one buckling member are positioned in each outer pocket. At least one cushion pad, at least one buckling member or any combination thereof may be individually pocketed inside an outer pocket.

A high tension coil spring structure for a bed mattress includes spring bodies and exposed wiring portions which absorb an external load. Diameter-increasing portions (A) are formed on at least one of upper and/or lower end wiring portions (14, 14′) of body wiring portions (12), and provide spaces in which upper and/or lower exposure start wiring portions (16-5, 16-5′) move upward and downward. Rigid support ends (18) are formed on at least one of the body wiring portions (12) and upper and lower exposed wiring portions (16, 16′), and absorb a compressive load. The diameter-increasing portions and the rigid ends of the coil spring structure fundamentally prevent noise caused by friction between the exposed wiring portions and surrounding wiring portions when the exposed wiring portions are compressed and significantly increase the elasticity of the exposed wiring portions.

The present invention relates to a pocket spring core (40). The pocket spring core (40) comprises a plurality of pocketed spring elements (41). Each of the plurality of pocketed spring elements (41) is formed of a pocket (42) and at least one coil spring (43) enclosed by the pocket (42). The pocket spring core (40) comprises furthermore a frame element (44) enclosing an arrangement of the plurality of pocketed spring elements (41) along a circumference of the arrangement. The frame element (44) is glued to several pockets (42) of the plurality of pocketed spring elements (41) using a hot melt adhesive, a polyurethane adhesive or an epoxy lime adhesive.

A pocketed spring assembly comprises a plurality of parallel strings of individually pocketed springs. A dimensionally stabilizing substrate is secured to at least some of the strings on one of the top and bottom surfaces of the strings. A scrim sheet is secured to at least some of the strings on an opposed surface of the strings to maintain the positions of the strings. The dimensionally stabilizing substrate is laterally rigid enough to maintain length and width dimensions of the coil spring assembly. However, the dimensionally stabilizing substrate is flexible enough to allow the pocketed spring assembly to be roll packed for shipping.

A spring module includes a spring and a spring bracket for accommodating the spring. The spring bracket may have a base, an end cover and a flexible connecting part connecting the base and the end cover. The spring may be fixed in the spring bracket with a predetermined initial pressure. The spring module may be used in a spring cushion for furniture.

In order to manufacture an innerspring unit comprising pocketed springs and having an increased stability at its edge regions, in a first step, an innerspring main body comprising a plurality of first strings of pocketed springs is provided. In a subsequent second step, at least one second string of pocketed springs is attached to a lateral surface of the innerspring main body, so that the at least one second string of pocketed springs extends in a longitudinal direction of the innerspring main body. The springs of the at least one second string of pocketed springs have a spring characteristic or a spring geometry different from the springs of the plurality of first strings of the innerspring main body. The at least one second string of pocketed springs forms together with the innerspring main body the innerspring unit.
