A mattress, foundation, or other upholstered sleep product or article includes a core and barrier material surrounding the core. The barrier material includes flame and heat-resistant material that is configured to prevent combustion of the core when the upholstered article is impinged with a gas flame according to California Technical Bulletin 603 of the State of California Department of Consumer Affairs. The barrier material may include an intumescent material that is configured to swell and char in the presence of a flame so as to form a barrier to the flame and to heat generated by the flame.

A mattress containing a core section, a high loft non-woven layer at least partially covering a first side of the core section and containing a plurality of heat and flame resistant fibers, bulking fibers, and binder fibers, a ticking layer at least partially covering the high loft non-woven layer and containing a textile layer, a pattern coated layer. The pattern coated layer may be printed on the high loft non-woven layer, the ticking layer, or any layer between the high loft non-woven layer and the ticking layer. The pattern coated layer contains a blend of microencapsulated phase change material (PCM) and a binder, wherein the PCM is fully encapsulated by the binder.

Embodiments of a mattress and methods of manufacturing the same, wherein the mattress includes a body having one or more openings for removable inserts that a user can position within the openings to adjust the mechanical characteristics of the mattress, including the amount and location of support provided by the mattress to the user. Some embodiments of the mattress include one or more covers, such as a fire-retardant cover, that can encompass the mattress body while still allowing a user to access the openings of mattress body.

A mattress containing a core section, a high loft non-woven layer at least partially covering a first side of the core section and containing a plurality of heat and flame resistant fibers, bulking fibers, and binder fibers, a ticking layer at least partially covering the high loft non-woven layer and containing a textile layer, a pattern coated layer. The pattern coated layer may be printed on the high loft non-woven layer, the ticking layer, or any layer between the high loft non-woven layer and the ticking layer. The pattern coated layer contains a blend of microencapsulated phase change material (PCM) and a binder, wherein the PCM is fully encapsulated by the binder.

Mattress assemblies include a mattress core assembly and a nested, zipperless mattress ticking assembly for covering the mattress core assembly and a nested, zipperless mattress ticking assembly for covering the mattress core assembly. The nested, zipperless mattress ticking assembly includes an upper mattress ticking assembly having a top side extending over a top side of the mattress core assembly and a peripheral portion extending over a portion of the peripherally-extending side of the mattress core assembly, and a lower mattress ticking assembly having a bottom side extending over the bottom side of the mattress core assembly and a peripheral portion extending over a portion of the peripherally-extending side of the mattress core assembly. The peripheral portions of the upper and lower mattress ticking assemblies overlap each other along the peripherally-extending side of the mattress core assembly. The mattress assembly meets the flammability standards of the 16 CFR 1633.

A sleeping and resting apparatus is disclosed that may include a bottom enclosure including a plurality of associated walls defining a first spatial region and an array of compartments positioned within the first spatial region defined by the plurality of walls associated with the bottom enclosure. Each compartment may store a predefined volume of granular material. A top enclosure may include a plurality of associated walls defining a second spatial region and an array of flexible containers positioned within the second spatial region. Each flexible container may store a predefined volume of granular material. At least one temperature controlling element may be positioned in physical proximity with the bottom enclosure to add or remove heat from the granular material stored in at least one compartment of the array of compartments.

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.

A mattress incudes a core and an encasement sized and shaped to receive the core. The encasement includes a first end, a second end, a first side, a second side, an upper portion, a lower portion, an interior portion, an opening at the first end and in communication with the interior portion, and a flap at the first end. The flap is moveable from an open position, in which the flap is outside of the opening, and a closed position, in which the flap is within the opening. The flap overlays at least a portion of the core when the flap is in its closed position.

An improved furniture system, including methods of manufacture, is disclosed. The furniture may be a sofa or a bed, which is reduced to a minimum volume for transportation. A flexible foldable honeycomb structure is used in manufacturing a supporting structure, wherein the hexagonal shape of said structure is strong and stable and provides a high bearing capacity versus weight. The honeycomb structure is designed to be foldable and used for saving space and to be easier for delivery in a box that fits in a small car, wherein said structure used flaccid materials that are glued to each other in certain ways to open and close easily, and wherein the number of layers of the flaccid materials determines the expansion length of the structure.

The present invention relates to a low-temperature dry preparation method for a flame-retardant fabric, for use in compounding a first substrate with a second substrate, wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are pressed together by means of hot melt adhesive-based cold compounding: spraying and coating a surface of the first substrate with a hot metal adhesive in a flowable state, feeding the first substrate and the second substrate together into a press roller group, making the hot melt adhesive on the surface of the first substrate face the second substrate, and cold pressing the first substrate, the hot melt adhesive, and the second substrate together by means of the press roller group.
