An insert adapted to be inserted between a foundation of a bed and a mattress of the bed. The insert includes a frame having a first side rail and a second side rail spaced apart from the first side rail. A plurality of elongate upper slats extend between the first side rail and the second side rail of the frame at a first level with respect to the frame and are spaced apart from one another. A plurality of elongate lower slats extend between the first side rail and the second side rail of the frame at a second level located below the first level of the upper slats. Each lower slat is located below a gap formed between a pair of adjacent upper slats. A mounting member resiliently supports the ends of two adjacent upper slats and rigidly supports the end of a lower slat that is located below the gap formed between the two adjacent upper slats, whereby the firmness of a mattress overlying the insert can be selectively adjusted.

Cushioning material comprising a microcoil sheet and a surface cover material, the microcoil sheet comprising an array of wire springs held between two layers of fabric, the layers of fabric being joined together to form discrete spring-containing pockets; wherein the cover material is fastened to the microcoil sheet by one or more seams. Also provided is a cushioned or upholstered article (such as a mattress, mattress topper, seat, chair or loose cushion) comprising cushioning material according to any preceding claim. Also provided is a method of manufacturing cushioning material) comprising a microcoil sheet and a surface cover material, the microcoil sheet comprising an array of wire springs held between two layers of fabric, the layers of fabric having been joined together to form discrete spring-containing pockets; the method comprising fastening the cover material to the microcoil sheet by one or more seams.

A mattress for bed frame with bow structure includes a fixed seat and multiple of arc-shaped elastic rods, the mattress is formed by staggered connection of horizontally arranged weft lines and longitudinally arranged warp lines, and the weft lines are unevenly distributed in high-density regions and low-density regions; the multiple of arc-shaped elastic rods are sequentially installed side by side on the fixed seat and in the same direction as the weft lines; the free ends of each of the arc-shaped elastic rods are connected on the edge of the mattress to tension and set up the mattress above the arc-shaped elastic rods. When a user sits on or lies on the mattress, an region of the mattress bearing weight matches the shape of a use's body in contact with the mattress to deform, thereby providing good elastic support for each part of the body.

It is a feature of a porous body (10, 20) comprising a three-dimensional network of node points (200) joined to one another by struts (100), and a void volume (300) present between the struts (100), that the struts (100) have an average length of 200 to 50 mm, the struts (100) have an average thickness of 100 m to 5 mm, and that the porous body has a compression hardness (40% compression, DIN EN ISO 3386-1: 2010-09) in at least one spatial direction of 10 to 100 kPa. The porous body according to the invention combines the advantages of a conventional mattress or cushion with ventilatability which results from its porous structure and is not achievable in conventional foams. The invention further relates to a method of producing such a porous body (10, 20) and to an apparatus comprising said body (10, 20) for supporting and/or bearing a person.

A piezoelectric adaptive mesh includes multiple piezoelectric fibers that include piezoelectric structures that can act as sensor and/or actuators to enhance a person's comfort. The piezoelectric structures communicate with a controller and/or a software processing system and may identify the position of a user and make adjustments through the actuators to increase user comfort by providing support, assistance, treatment, and/or temperature adjustment.

A sofa bed includes: a plurality of elastic modules; a body frame having slide rails arranged thereon; and armrest frames disposed at two sides of the body frame along a longitudinal direction of the body frame, respectively. The slide rails on the body frame are configured to enable the plurality of elastic modules to be mounted on the body frame from an outside of the body frame and to slide thereon to predetermined mounting positions, such that the body frame at one side facing the user is provided with the plurality of elastic modules. The angle between the seat and the backrest portion can be locked for improved operation. The elastic modules, which can be easily installed and uninstalled, can improve the comfort of the sofa bed.

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.

An elastic module unit for a pad or furniture may include a fixed bottom plate and a plurality of elastic modules disposed on the fixed bottom plate, the fixed bottom plate including splicing sides arranged opposite to each other and end sides arranged opposite to each other. Each of the end sides includes a plurality of connectors having a rotary detent member and/or an engagement member. The rotary detent member is configured to swing about a pivot axis so that it releasably engages an engagement member of an adjacent elastic module unit. The engagement member is configured to releasably engage a rotary engagement member of an adjacent elastic module unit.

A support structure and vertical isolation structure may include a plurality of spring coils and a mesh network. Each spring coil of the plurality of spring coils includes a spring, a cap, and a floating connector. The cap is configured to engage the spring. The floating connector is disposed in a middle of the spring. The mesh network secures a first spring coil of the plurality of spring coils to a second spring coil of the plurality of spring coils by passing through the floating connector of each of the first spring coil and the second spring coil.

A lounge having a matrix mat and a plurality of modules capable of being inserted into the matrix mat. The lounge may include a frame configured as a rigid frame, a modular frame, and combinations thereof. The modular frame may further include a tri-cable suspension. The tri-cable suspension may be attached to a dilator retractor mechanism. The modules may be a mushroom cap module, a spider spring module, a web module, a lighting module, an electronics module, and combinations thereof.
