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 pocketed resilient unit (130), such as for a mattress core, comprises integral pocketed resilient elements (110) arranged in clusters (240), wherein each integral pocketed resilient element in a cluster is attached to at least one other integral pocketed resilient element, and wherein the clusters define interstices (250), in at least some of which are located independent resilient elements (260).

An apparatus for bonding and combining a pocket spring bed mesh and method, and a pocket spring bed mesh. The apparatus includes a rack, a platform arranged on the rack for driving the pocket spring bed mesh to move reciprocally, a rotating mechanism used for driving the pocket spring bed mesh to rotate, and a combining mechanism used for combining pocket spring strings to form the pocket spring bed mesh. The combining mechanism bonds and combines pocket spring strings to form an unshaped pocket spring bed mesh which is driven by the platform to move to the position of rotating mechanism to be rotated for adjusting the orientation, then the pocket spring bed mesh is moved by the platform to the combining mechanism, and the combining mechanism bonds and combines the side parts of the unshaped pocket spring bed mesh using a pocket spring string of a smaller diameter.

The present invention concerns a spring core (1, la, 12, 13, 17, 18) that may be used in e.g. bed mattresses, chairs or sofas. The spring core (1, 1a, 12, 13, 17, 18) comprises springs placed inside pocket (3). The pockets (3) are placed in a number of rows, which rows of pockets (3) are placed side by side. The spring core (1, 1a, 12, 13, 17, 18) is held in a compressed state by means of at least one cord (5). The at least one cord (5) is formed into braids (6) at opposite outer ends (7) of each row of pockets (3). Further, the at least one cord (4) forms a number of loops (8) on at least one side of each row of pockets (3). By pulling at one free end (10) of the at least one cord (5) the braids (6) and loops (8) are dissolved, allowing the spring core (1) to return to the non-compressed state.

Disclosed a reversible mattress comprising a layer of coil pockets comprising first and second coil pockets. Each of the first and second coil pockets comprise a coil spring disposed in a pocket. The mattress further comprises a first layer of cushion members comprising first and second cushion members engaged with an attachment member. The attachment member is engaged with the layer of coil pockets such that the first and second cushion members act directly upon the first and second coil pockets, respectively. The mattress further comprises a second layer of cushion members comprising first and second cushion members engaged with an attachment member. The attachment member is engaged with said second layer of coil pockets such that said first and second cushion members act directly upon said first and second coil pockets, respectively.

A bedding system includes a chassis having a bottom wall, opposite first and second side walls extending upwardly from the bottom wall and opposite first and second end walls extending upwardly from the bottom wall. The walls define a cavity. A coil pack is positioned in the cavity. The coil pack includes a plurality of springs. A first cover is positioned over the coil pack. The first cover is attached to the chassis by a first zipper. A comfort layer is positioned over the first cover. The comfort layer is attached to the chassis by a second zipper. A second cover is positioned over the comfort layer. The second cover is attached to the chassis by a third zipper. In some embodiments, kits and method of use are disclosed.

A pocketed spring assembly comprises a plurality of parallel strings of springs, each string joined to at least one adjacent string, each string comprising first and second opposed plies of fabric and a plurality of pockets formed along a length of the string by transverse seams joining the first and second plies. At least one spring is positioned in each pocket. Exterior strings have identical springs in their pockets. Interior strings have two different springs along their length, the outermost springs being firmer than the interior core springs. The pocketed spring assembly has increased firmness or edge support along all four sides due to the different coil springs of the assembly.

A mattress assembly includes a base layer, a coil layer disposed over the base layer, an upper layer disposed over the coil layer, and an elastomeric cushioning element disposed over the upper layer. The coil layer may include a plurality of pocketed coils. Furthermore, the elastomeric cushioning element may have a thickness within a range of about 2.0 inches to about 4.5 inches. Furthermore, the elastomeric cushioning element may form between about 15.0% and about 32.0% of an overall thickness of the mattress assembly. A method of forming a mattress assembly includes disposing a coil layer over a base layer, disposing an upper layer over the coil layer, disposing an elastomeric cushioning element over the upper layer, and disposing an outer covering over at least the upper layer.

The present invention concerns a spring core (1, 1a, 12, 13, 17, 18) that may be used in e.g. bed mattresses, chairs or sofas. The spring core (1, 1a, 12, 13, 17, 18) comprises springs placed inside pocket (3). The pockets (3) are placed in a number of rows, which rows of pockets (3) are placed side by side. The spring core (1, 1a, 12, 13, 17, 18) is held in a compressed state by means of at least one cord (5). The at least one cord (5) is formed into braids (6) at opposite outer ends (7) of each row of pockets (3). Further, the at least one cord (4) forms a number of loops (8) on at least one side of each row of pockets (3). By pulling at one free end (10) of the at least one cord (5) the braids (6) and loops (8) are dissolved, allowing the spring core (1) to return to the non-compressed state.

A foldable and rollable zoned spring mattress includes a zoned spring layer with first, second and third lateral regions. The central axis of the mattress passes through the second lateral region. The first lateral region is disposed between the second lateral region and the top of the mattress, and the third lateral region is disposed between the second lateral region and the bottom of the mattress. The second lateral region includes pocket springs comprised of individual metal coils each encased in a fabric pocket. The first and third lateral regions include coils that are connected to one another by parallel rows of helical-shaped wires that are oriented perpendicular to the central axis. The mattress is compressed and then folded at its central axis at the pocket springs of the second lateral region. The compressed and folded mattress is then rolled such that the helical-shaped wires are not folded or bent.
