A mattress has a cover sewn over a cushioned non-absorbent core and is suitable for use as a resting place or sleeping space. The core is made of a netted material having a plurality of tangled, partially bonded filaments. The cushions can have various densities separated by baffles inside the cover. The cover can have a built in or added back support system. The mattress is a self contained carry case and needs no additional carry bag. A detachable shoulder strap doubles to carry the mattress and as adjustable straps to adjust the back support system. The cushion is manufactured in various sizes for standard outdoor camping as well as sizes for standard indoor bedding.

METHOD OF CHEMICAL TREATMENT ON NONWOVENS
20230323591 · 2023-10-12 ·

Nonwovens having low-density and resilience have a chemical formulation applied on one surface (e.g., a top surface) by any of various application methods. Then, the chemical formulation is forced to move toward the opposite surface of the nonwoven (e.g., move downward through the nonwoven from top to bottom). The chemical-treated nonwoven is dried to fix the chemical on the nonwovens. Movement through the nonwoven is performed in a controlled fashion so that after drying the distribution of a chemical formulation throughout the nonwoven (e.g., from the top surface to the bottom surface of a nonwoven) is controlled.

20230284791 · 2023-09-14 ·

A mattress cover may include a top cover portion, a bottom cover portion, and a border panel cover portion positioned to extend around a perimeter of a mattress. The mattress cover may include a closure element positioned to enable opening of the cover to access an interior region of the cover. The mattress cover includes an internal flange element positioned in the interior region. A mattress may include the cover, and the flange element may be connected to one or more internal mattress elements, such as springs or foam. A method of making a mattress may include positioning internal mattress elements in the interior region, attaching the internal flange element to at least one of internal mattress elements, and closing the mattress cover with a closure element such as a zipper. The closure element may be positioned on a bottom side of the cover.

Ultra-low friction materials for lubricating surfaces, devices therewith, and methods of manufacture and use thereof

A polymeric material mixture comprising a fluorine-containing polymer, a siloxane polymer, and at least two polymer processing additives (PPA), wherein the at least two polymer processing additives have different chemistries. For example, there can be a flexible coextruded pipe for providing a protective housing for cables, fluids, sludge or solids, the pipe comprising a pair of telescopically related inner and outer layers, where said inner layer is lubricated with the polymeric material mixture.

Zipper Mattress Attachment

A system can include a zipper that connects a mattress to a bed foundation. For example, the zipper can extend from a head end to a foot end of an adjustable foundation. For another example, a zipper can connect to a mattress along a seam of the mattress and/or to a foundation along a seam of a foundation. For another example, a first zipper can connect the mattress core to a second zipper and the second zipper can connect a foundation to the first zipper. For another example, first and second zippers can be substantially vertically aligned.

MATTRESS WITH FLAME BARRIER CAP AND RELATED METHOD

A mattress including a stretchable flame-retardant textile cap incorporating a top panel of flame retardant material operatively connected to a stitch-bonded flame retardant textile skirting with machine direction stretch and recovery properties disposed over a resilient mattress core to provided flame barrier protection to the mattress core.

Mattresses and mattress toppers including knitted fabric and related methods
11793322 · 2023-10-24 · ·

A mattress or mattress topper includes a cushioning element having an elastomeric material forming intersecting buckling walls that define hollow columns, and a knitted fabric disposed over the cushioning element and configured to move independently of the buckling walls. The elastomeric material includes an elastomeric polymer and a plasticizer. The knitted fabric includes a first layer of stretchable material; a second layer of stretchable material; and a layer of stretchable fill material between the first layer of stretchable material and the second layer of stretchable material. The first layer of stretchable material is knitted together with the second layer of stretchable material as a unitary sheet of fabric including the layer of stretchable fill material. A method of forming a mattress or mattress topper includes disposing a knitted fabric over a cushioning element comprising intersecting buckling walls and configuring the knitted fabric to move independently of the buckling walls.

Bedding or seating product having topper with at least one thermally enhanced foam component

A three-layered topper for a bedding or seating product has a first piece of foam, a second piece of foam and a pocketed spring comfort layer therebetween. The pocketed spring comfort layer has individually pocketed mini coil springs. At least one of the foam pieces may be infused with metallic particles to improve thermal conductivity. Alternatively, at least one of the foam pieces may be infused with microencapsulated phase change materials to improve heat absorption. At least one of the foam pieces may have a coating to further improve thermal conductivity or heat absorption.
