A mattress cover is provided, the mattress cover comprising a cover fabric that forms an upper face and/or a lower face that are each dimensioned as a lying surface for a user. The cover fabric is formed having a weft-knitted 3D spacer fabric at least on an outer face thereof and comprises a honeycombed mesh structure having outwardly open recesses on the outer face thereof.

A seat cushion having a layered structure including at least a surface layer unit and a cushion layer unit disposed below the surface layer unit, characterized in that the cushion layer unit includes at least one nonwoven layer and at least one spacer crocheted-fabric and/or spacer knitted-fabric layer. A seat cushion of a seating furniture or an automobile seat or an office seating furniture or an aircraft seat are exemplary embodiments of the seat cushion mentioned above.

A mattress is described, comprising an ergonomic layer made of foam material and a breathable layer made of three-dimensional polymeric material. The ergonomic layer and the breathable layer are mutually coupled. The breathable layer is individually wrapped in a casing made of a three-dimensional breathable fabric. The combination between the breathable layer and the respective casing, which is also manufactured with a three-dimensional breathable type of material, allows to obtain the maximum breathable characteristics for the mattress.

A mattress including a base layer, at least one intermediary layer, and a top layer. The base layer is constructed from a foam material defining an Indentation Level Deflection (ILD) Rating from 25 to 35 pounds, and defines a thickness of between four and eight inches (4-8), and having a density from 1 to 4 lb/ft.sup.3. Each intermediary layer is constructed from a foam material defining an ILD Rating of between 10 and 25 and defines a thickness from 1.5 to 3, and having a density from 2 to 4 lb/ft.sup.3. A top layer is fabricated from a vertically-oriented synthetic memory fiber blend comprised of bi-copolymer fibers and fibers having spring-like molecular structure. The top layer defines a thickness of between 0.75 and 1.25 and a weight of between about 200 to about 500 grams per square yard. A cover layer may be disposed above said top layer, the cover layer being fabricated from a selected foam material, and defining a thickness of up to about one inch. A cover member configured to closely and selectively receive the various layers of the mattress may be provided. The cover member may be being provided with at least one handle for assisting in movement and transport of said mattress.

Air conditioned mattresses have a core and at least one encasement configured to receive a conditioned flow of air into the encasement and to allow conditioned air to flow out of the encasement to a sleep surface of the mattress. Additional conditioned air conducting layers are provided in combination with the encasement.

It is provided a modular chair (1) comprising a support structure including a frame (2) developing at least in part along a expansion trajectory (2a), a membrane (3) including a support surface (30) suitable for allowing the support of a user, an edge (31) capable of being at least partially constrained to said frame (2) and a tubular guide (32) arranged in correspondence with the edge (31), a cursor (4) defining an extension direction (4a) parallel at least partially with respect to the expansion trajectory (2a) and housed within at least part of the guide (32), wherein the frame (2) includes at least a protrusion (20) protruding in the incident direction with respect to the expansion trajectory (2a), and the slider (4) includes at least a receiving portion (40) configured to at least partially house the protuberance (20) in such a way as to rigidly constrain, in correspondence with at least one fixed point, the frame (2), the membrane (3) and the slider (4).

A net-like structure of the present invention is one having a three-dimensional random loop bonded structure constituted of a thermoplastic elastomer continuous linear body, wherein the net-like structure has, in a thickness direction thereof, a thin fiber main region, a thick fiber main and a mixed region that is located between the thin fiber main region and the thick fiber main region and includes the thin fibers and the thick fibers in a mixed state, the fiber size of the thick fibers is greater than that of the thin fibers by greater than or equal to 0.07 mm, and the residual strain after 750 N constant load repeated compression at pressurization from the side of the thin fiber main region of the net-like structure is less than or equal to 15%.

A person support for supporting a person includes a first layer and a resilient second layer. The first layer has a surface topography with a first region with a curvature configured to correspond and generally conform, in an unloaded state, to the shape of a first portion of a person's body. The surface topography has a second region configured to correspond and generally conform, in an unloaded state, to the shape of a second portion of a person's body. The resilient second layer overlays the first layer and forms a person support surface.

Embodiments of the invention comprise woven multilayer textiles having shaped, enclosed, inflatable pockets, where the inflated textile carries tension, compression, torsion and/or bending loads. Composite structures incorporating such inflatable members or spars are also described and claimed.

Fire resistant mattresses, fire resistant mattress cover materials and related methods are provided. The fire resistant mattress cover material for use as an outer layer on a mattress can include a three-dimensional knit fabric. In some embodiments, the three-dimensional knit fabric can include a first layer comprising fire resistant corespun yarns, which can be glass reinforced continuous multifilament micro denier yarns, that form a fire resistant barrier when exposed to at least one of heat or flame and a second layer comprising polymer filament yarns. The three-dimensional knit fabric can also include a middle layer between the first layer and the second layer. The middle layer can include monofilament polymer yarns knitted to provide structural support and space between the first layer and the second layer.
