A method is provided with a stranded mesh material blank inserted into a cavity of a tool assembly shaped to form a cushion member. Fluid is circulated above a first temperature threshold through a series of apertures defined in a forming surface of the tool assembly and into the cavity thereby softening the blank and conforming a shape of the blank to the forming surface. Fluid is circulated below a second temperature threshold through the series of apertures in the forming surface and into the cavity thereby setting the shape of the blank to the forming surface and forming a cushion member. A cushion for a seat assembly is provided by a stranded mesh material member. A system is provided with a first tool, a second tool, and one or more inlet manifolds.

A method for the production of a piece of furniture such as a seat, a bed, a table, the piece of furniture including at least one furniture component (10), the method including the steps of making a blank (11) of expanded polystyrene (EPS) with density between 15 and 25 kg/me, the blank (11) being configured to act as a core for the furniture component (10); providing an interface surface (12) in the blank (11); making a rigid insert (13) in rigid material having an engagement portion (14) configured to engage with the interface surface (12) of the blank (11) and a first connection portion (15) opposite the engagement portion; joining the rigid insert (13) and the interface surface (12) so that the engagement portion (14) is engaged with the interface surface (12) and the first connection portion (15) faces aside opposite to the blank (11); coating the blank (11) and the rigid insert (13) by at least one coating layer (30) of polyurethane material, so that the coating layer (30) completely covers the blank (11) and the insert (13), with the exception of at least one part (16) of the first connection portion (15).

A pocketed spring assembly comprises a plurality of parallel strings of individually pocketed springs. A dimensionally stabilizing substrate is secured to at least some of the strings on one of the top and bottom surfaces of the strings. A scrim sheet is secured to at least some of the strings on an opposed surface of the strings to maintain the positions of the strings. The dimensionally stabilizing substrate is laterally rigid enough to maintain length and width dimensions of the coil spring assembly. However, the dimensionally stabilizing substrate is flexible enough to allow the pocketed spring assembly to be roll packed for shipping.

An upholstery member includes a base board (101) having at least one base board opening (116), a fixation arrangement (140), and a resilient wadding (102). The wadding (102) is pressed at least to some extent through the base board opening (116) and connected to the fixation arrangement (140), thereby forming an indent (130) in the upholstery member (100). Further, the invention relates to a method for manufacturing the upholstery member comprising the steps of providing (310) a base board (101) having at least one base board opening (116) and being covered with a wadding (102) on a front side of said base board (101), passing (320) the wadding (102) through said base board opening (116), whereby the indent (13) is formed, and securing (330) the position of the wadding (102) relative the base board (101).

A liner, comprising a layered material in which a carded nonwoven wadding is thermally bonded to a thin carded nonwoven top layer, for upholstered furniture. In the liner, a high proportion of the staple fibers in the top layer are thin bi-component binder fibers. Further, at least 20 wt % of the staple fibers in the wadding is thick staple fibers. Furthermore, also the wadding comprises bi-component binder fibers.
