A foam piece for filling a comfort item, includes a body part and several foam arms having a first end and a second end, where the first end is attached to the body part, and the second end protrudes away from the body part, and a plurality of contour recesses between the foam arms. The invention further relates to a plurality of foam pieces to be used as filling for a comfort item, and it relates to a comfort item with such filling. Thereby, foam pieces are supplied which are better at retaining elastic expansion and elastic deformation characteristics than the foam solutions of the art by retaining at least some air between pieces in the uncompressed state. A filling is thereby obtained having good filling properties and adding air to the comfort item.

The present disclosure provides a mattress assembly. The mattress comprises a top foam layer, a convoluted foam layer and a plurality of foam pieces. The foam pieces are applied with adhesive bonding agent and secured the top foam layer and the convoluted foam layer together.

A flippable mattress includes a first memory foam layer, a second memory foam layer, a core layer disposed therebetween and a transition layer between each foam layer and the core. The first memory foam layer has a thickness, and the second memory foam layer has a thickness that is greater than the thickness of the first memory foam layer. The first transition layer has an IFD less than that of the second transition layer. The mattress is flippable between a first orientation in which the first memory foam layer is above the core layer and the second memory foam layer, and a second orientation in which the second memory foam layer is above the core layer and the first memory foam layer.

It is disclosed a foam mattress having an adjustable mattress core for adjusting and customizing its firmness. The foam mattress has a foam base having an upper surface defining a top recess; and a plurality of foam inserts each configured to be disposed and assembled into the top recess to fill the top recess and form the mattress core with a continued upper surface of the mattress. The inserts are provided with at least two different firmness of the foam, preferably with three different firmness of the foam selected from firm, medium and soft, producing as such an inexpensive, novel consumer-adjustable mattress in which the consumer can change the firmness of the entire mattress and/or the firmness on either side of the bed to accommodate each sleeper and/or the firmness under certain “body zones” within the mattress for their own personalized comfort preference and to reduce tossing and turning.

A method for customizing a mattress includes acquiring a three dimensional image of a body of a user and preparing, by a processor, a three dimensional model of the body of the user using the three-dimensional image. The method also includes dividing, by the processor, the three dimensional model into a plurality of sections arranged parallel to each other and arrayed along a height of the three dimensional model, and determining a downward pressure to be exerted by each of the plurality of sections on the mattress. The method further includes determining, by the processor, one or more parameters associated with at least one portion of the mattress adapted to be arranged underneath an associated section when person lies on the mattress based on the determined downward pressure or topography.

A temperature-regulating mattress system provides dynamic adjustment of temperature and other parameters throughout a user's sleep cycle to maximize the quality of the user's sleep, Features of the system may include: (a) heating and cooling temperature regulation (with dynamic custom profiles that control humidity and are dual-zone); (b) smart controls (with remotes and apps that learn from users to optimize settings and work with smart home products such as Alexa and interactive lighting systems); (c) comfort (with a mattress that provide the necessary support for its users); and (d) sensors used for temperature and humidity estimation algorithms, control mechanism, and additional inferences from those sensors (pose, enrichment of biometric sensing data, etc.).

A support element, for example a plate, a mattress, a pillow, a seating plane of a chair, of an armchair, a saddle for vehicles and the like, equipped with a resting surface for a user, includes at least one first layer in gel associated with at least one second layer of different material; such a first layer in gel and such a second layer, that are associated, are crossed by through openings that are suitable for the proper circulation of air from one side to the other of the support element, so as to allow the optimal transpiration and thermal regulation of the parts of the body of the user positioned resting on the support element itself.

A foam core for a mattress including a supporting layer for supporting the vertebral column, the supporting layer including an upper part and a lower part. Different body support regions are provided in the upper part along the longitudinal direction of the foam core, a plurality of the body support regions having at least one recess in the material of the foam core. At least one reserve region is provided in the lower part and has at least one recess in the material of the foam core. The foam core is formed such that the reserve region is not substantially deformed in case of a load on the upper part above the reserve region if the load is below a predetermined limit pressure, and that in case of a load above the predetermined limit pressure, the reserve region is deformed. A mattress having such a foam core is furthermore shown.

Ageing-resistant and low-emission mattresses and/or cushions comprising at least one section of flexible polyurethane foam, wherein the flexible polyurethane foam has been obtained by reaction of at least one polyol component and at least one isocyanate component in the presence of the compound of the formula (I)

##STR00001##

and at least one blowing agent, are described.

A flippable mattress includes a first memory foam layer, a second memory foam layer, a core layer disposed therebetween and a transition layer between each foam layer and the core. The first memory foam layer has a thickness, and the second memory foam layer has a thickness that is greater than the thickness of the first memory foam layer. The first transition layer has an IFD less than that of the second transition layer. The mattress is flippable between a first orientation in which the first memory foam layer is above the core layer and the second memory foam layer, and a second orientation in which the second memory foam layer is above the core layer and the first memory foam layer.
