COVER FOR A MATTRESS OR A CUSHION AS WELL AS A MATTRESS OR CUSHION WITH SUCH A COVER

A cover (8) for a mattress (6) or a cushion (3) of a piece of furniture (1) with a utilized side (10) and a back side (11), wherein on the back side (11) there is a receiving device for bottom spring cushioning (12) which has spring strips (15), wherein at least one spring strip (15) is made of a fiber-reinforced plastic material with a preferably pultruded fiber core (16) and a plastic jacket (17) which surrounds the fiber core (16). It is provided that on opposite sides of the jacket (17) one jacket side (18) at a time sticks out for an enlarged support surface of the spring strip (15).

ARRANGEMENTS WITH RESTING UNITS WITH ADJUSTABLE LYING AND SITTING SURFACES AS WELL AS METHOD FOR CONTROLLING RESTING UNITS
20180125261 · 2018-05-10 ·

An arrangement having at least one resting unit (B; Hyx) each having a lying/sitting surface (B1) and an actuator (A; A1 . . . ), configured to act on the lying/sitting surface, to adjust a height and/or firmness profile (V1, . . . ). An input value (KG), which corresponds to the standard size of an article of clothing representing a given person in a clothing size system is specified via at least one input unit (EE). A control device (S) derives a control signal (SL) from the input value and outputs the control signal to the actuator, so that the actuator autonomously presets a height/firmness profile, which is adapted to physical body parameters of the person represented by the clothing size, in the lying/sitting surface. A data network (DNi) enables the control unit to output control signals (SLyx) to the actuator of a resting unit (Hyx) selected for the person in such an arrangement.
