Automatic adaptive comfort for bunk mattress

The disclosure relates to a bunk, in particular for a vehicle cabin. The bunk comprises a base plate, an upper layer, a plurality of supporting members vertically compressible and spaced apart from one another substantially over the whole surface of the bunk, a plurality of pressure sensors which are part of the upper layer and in an adaptable area comprising at least one area of the bunk, a moving mechanism configured to move at least some of the supporting members in the adaptable area parallel to the base plate, and a control unit connected to the pressure sensors and the moving mechanism. The control unit is configured to cause the moving mechanism to move the supporting members in the adaptable area as a function of the current pressure data provided by the pressure sensors, to locally change the density of the supporting members to provide a locally variable bunk firmness.

FURNITURE DEVICE WITH ADJUSTABLE FIRMNESS
20180192781 · 2018-07-12 · ·

A furniture device configured to receive the weight of a being, said furniture device comprising a holding arrangement (20, 120) and at least one section (30, 30, 130) comprising a base (2, 102), a movable plate element (4, 104), a moving mechanism (6, 10) and at least one elastic device (12, 112). The plate element (4, 104) is configured to interact with the at least one elastic device and to be moved by the moving mechanism in respect to the base in order to adjust the firmness of the at least one elastic device. The elastic device comprises a pocket (14, 114) made of a flexible sheet material, and an elastic member (18, 118). The holding arrangement comprises a holding member (22, 122), which is fixed in relation to the base (2, 102) or the plate element (4, 104) and a connecting portion (24, 24, 124) which is arranged at the elastic device (12, 112) and which connects the holding member to the elastic member. The elastic member (18, 118) exhibits a first portion (18a, 118a) arranged proximal to the free end of the elastic member, a second portion (18b, 118b) being arranged distal to the free end of the elastic member and an intermediate portion (18c, 118c) arranged between the first and second portions. The holding member (22, 122) is, via the connecting portion (24, 24, 124), connected to the intermediate portion (18c, 118c) of the elastic member, such that, during movement of the plate element (4, 104) relative to the base (2, 102), the elastic member (18, 118) is compressed and relaxed only over the second portion (18b, 118b).

Pocketed spring assembly comprising strings of springs of different heights and enhanced ventilation

A pocketed spring assembly comprises a plurality of parallel strings of individually pocketed springs of different heights. Each string is joined to an adjacent string. Each string has first and second opposed plies of fabric and a plurality of pockets formed along a length of the string by transverse seams joining the plies. An upper end of each transverse seam is below the upper surface of the string so as to partially separate adjacent pockets within a string of springs when the spring is relaxed. The strings of springs have ventilation openings to increase airflow.

A mattress assembly includes a chassis having top and bottom walls and first and second sidewalls that each extend from the top wall to the bottom wall. Inner surfaces of the walls and the sidewalls define an interior cavity. The top and bottom walls each include a first section that is connected to the first sidewall and a second section that is connected to the second sidewall such that the first sections are pivotable relative to the first sidewall and the second sections are pivotable relative to the second sidewall. The first section of the top wall is pivotable relative to the second section of the top wall and the first section of the bottom wall is pivotable relative to the second section of the bottom wall. A spring assembly is configured to be positioned within the interior cavity.

Mattress spring assembly

A mattress is configured to have multiple zones made of springs configured in different orientations. A first zone of the mattress has springs packed in a first pattern, and a second zone has the springs packed in a second pattern that is different from the first pattern. The springs in the first zone and the second zone are the same type of springs. By packing the same springs in different patterns, the zones can have different firmness levels.
