INFINITY QUILTING
Article, such as quilted construction, and methods of making the same are described. A quilted construction may comprise a first woven sheet, a second woven sheet, a series of stitching, a reinforcing body, and a thermally insulating filler. The first woven sheet may be coupled to the second woven sheet via a series of stitching to define one or more chambers. The reinforcing body may have a figure-eight form and may be disposed between the first woven sheet and second woven sheet such that a crossover of the figure-eight form is aligned with the series of stitching. The thermal insulating filler may be disposed within the one or more chambers.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING A FIBER CUSHION BODY
A fiber cushion body comprises a first portion in which fibers have a preferential orientation along a first direction and at least a second portion having a fiber orientation and/or density different from the first portion. The fiber cushion body is processed using laser radiation to form a laser cut or laser weld.

NET-LIKE STRUCTURE
A net-like structure has a three-dimensional random loop bonded structure constituted of a thermoplastic elastomer continuous linear body having a fiber size of greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than or equal to 3.0 mm. The net-like structure has, in the thickness direction, a solid-section fiber main region mainly including solid-section fibers, a hollow-section fiber main region mainly including hollow-section fibers, and a mixed region including solid-section fibers and hollow-section fibers in a mixed state, located between the solid-section fiber main region and the hollow-section fiber main region. Both solid-section fiber main region-side residual strain of the net-like structure and hollow-section fiber main region-side residual strain of the net-like structure are less than or equal to 20%, and the difference between the solid-section fiber main region-side residual strain and the hollow-section fiber main region-side residual strain is less than or equal to 10 points.
NET-LIKE STRUCTURE
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%.
Cushion structure and construction
One exemplary aspect of the present disclosure relates to, among other things, a tunable cushion including a core made of a polymer material, and at least one topper layer adjacent the core, which is also made of a polymer material. Further, the core and the at least one topper layer provide a cushion assembly having a support factor of less than or equal to 4 with an Indentation Load Deflection (ILD) determined using a 4 inch batt sample of the cushion assembly.

LINER FOR UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE
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.

Stuffed article
This stuffed article (1) of the present invention is made of ticking (2a, 2b) filled with a stuffing. The stuffing is a long-fiber wad (8) formed by integrating an effect yarn with a core yarn. The effect yarn is opened to form loop-like fibers. A plurality of strings of the long-fiber wad (8) are arranged in parallel in at least one direction, and sewn to the ticking so as to be integrated with the ticking. The long-fiber wad in the stuffed article is fixed to the ticking, and the effect yarn is integrated with the core yarn. Therefore, the present invention can provide a stuffed article where the displacement of the long-fiber wad is limited even after repeated washing, the wad is less concentrated, and the bulkiness is high.
