Upholstery systems and methods for forming a curved surface
An upholstery system for forming a curved furniture surface includes two surfaces that form a corner, two planar elements that are each positioned on one of the two surfaces, and a plurality of contoured elements positioned between the two planar elements and along the corner. Each of the plurality of contoured elements includes a curved surface. The system also includes at least one piece of fabric that includes at least three sections, which are connected to each other in a series such that adjacent sections form a connection portion. The system further includes a plurality of clips positioned on each of the two surfaces. The at least three sections of the at least one piece of fabric are positioned over the planar elements and the plurality of contoured elements. The connected portion of adjacent sections of the at least one piece of fabric is connected to the plurality of clips.

Mattress assembly with a mattress topper that includes pocketed coil springs and methods of producing the same
A mattress assembly is provided that includes a mattress core having a bottom surface and a top surface opposite the bottom surface, and a mattress topper positioned adjacent to the top surface of the mattress core. The mattress topper includes a plurality of coil springs, an upper fabric layer extending above the plurality of coil springs, and a lower fabric layer extending below the plurality of coil springs. The lower fabric layer is connected to the upper fabric layer around each coil spring such that the upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer collectively form a fabric pocket encasing each coil spring. The mattress topper further includes a padded layer positioned atop the upper fabric layer, with the padded layer connected to the upper fabric layer by ultrasonic welds and/or tufts. Methods of producing a mattress topper for connection to a mattress core are further provided.

Method for manufacturing a seat and/or backrest in textile covering mounted on a chair tubular chassis and a chair obtained according to said method
A method for manufacturing a backrest and/or having a textile covering or the same, and mounted on a chair tubular chassis or the same includes the following steps: folding the lateral edges of the textile covering and seaming the edges to form lateral sheaths by a lateral seam line, affixing at least three visual markers, (notches), to at least one of the ends of each of the lateral sheaths, a first central notch at the lateral edge of each of the sheaths and two peripheral notches on both sides of the respective central notch, folding the free ends of the sheaths by fitting each central notch between the respective peripheral notches, such that the notches extend facing each other, seaming the free ends of the sheaths at the folding area of the notches by a transverse seam line, and turning over the textile covering by bringing out the corners.

Pocketed spring comfort layer having at least one foam layer and method of making same
A pocketed spring comfort layer for a bedding or seating product has pockets characterized by the individual mini coil springs of the comfort layer being pocketed with between at least one cushion assembly and a sheet of polypropylene fabric. Each cushion assembly includes at least one foam layer. A segmented seam joins the cushion assembly and the sheet of polypropylene fabric around each of the mini coil springs of the pocketed spring comfort layer. The method of making the pocketed spring comfort layer includes compressing the mini coil springs and creating pockets with a welding horn and an anvil.
