Foldable closed cell foam sleeping pad
A closed cell foam sleeping pad has a foldable configuration and can be folded accordion style. The sleeping pad's top and bottom surfaces have a plurality of protrusions and a plurality of indentations, wherein the protrusions and indentations are arranged at different locations on different but adjacent foldable sections of the sleeping pad body such that when the pad is folded accordion style, the protrusions nest into the indentations perfectly to give the sleeping pad a smaller packing density while at the same time providing the protrusions for added user comfort.
Adjustable mattress
An adjustable mattress may have an inner spring core between a top and bottom cover. The bottom cover may have at least one section made of a stretchable material that stretches around the mattress as it bends. The stretchable cover reduces the stress on the inner core for the bending when adjusting the mattress. The inner core may be formed from a spring array surrounded by a foam perimeter rail. Sides of the foam perimeter rail may be formed from individual foam coils.
MATTRESS ASSEMBLY
A mattress having a flange construction for securing a border assembly is disclosed. The flange construction is formed of a material that is affixed along the perimeter of an upper surface of the mattress. The border assembly includes a flap material for binding the border assembly to the flange construction. The flap material may be adhered to the flange construction, thereby allowing the flange construction to anchor and secure the border assembly to the mattress.

INTEGRATED FAN ASSEMBLY FOR BEDS
A mattress having a first layer with a first layer top and bottom extending from a first edge to a second edge, a first side rail proximate the first edge, a second side rail proximate the second edge, additional layers positioned under the first layer bottom between the first side rail and the second side rail, and a first air module that creates airflow, positioned between the first side rail and at least one of the additional layers. The first air module can draw air from the first layer and direct exhaust air between the first side rail and the second layer. The mattress can define a first channel between the first side rail and the second layer that can permit flow of the exhaust air. The second layer can define a layer recessed portion at a side of the second layer that is adjacent to the first side rail.
Topper with targeted fluid flow distribution
A topper (38) for a bed extends in longitudinal and lateral directions and includes a fluid flowpath (60) for channeling fluid through the topper from an inlet (62) to an outlet (64). The flowpath is configured to distribute the fluid to a preferred target region (50) of the topper. A bed which includes the topper has a blower (72) connected to the topper inlet for supplying air (88) to the flowpath.

Mattress assembly and method
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.

COMPRESSIBLE MATTRESS
Compressible mattress assemblies for bed in a box applications generally include a first foam layer and a second foam layer, wherein the first foam layer has a thickness less than the second foam layer and has a property and/or a foam material that is different from the second foam layer. In other embodiments, the compressible mattress assemblies consist of a pocketed microcoil array intermediate the first and second polymeric foam layers.
