A support structure and vertical isolation structure may include a plurality of spring coils and a mesh network. Each spring coil of the plurality of spring coils includes a spring, a cap, and a floating connector. The cap is configured to engage the spring. The floating connector is disposed in a middle of the spring. The mesh network secures a first spring coil of the plurality of spring coils to a second spring coil of the plurality of spring coils by passing through the floating connector of each of the first spring coil and the second spring coil.

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.

A modular furniture assembly includes a transverse member and a base member. The base member includes a base frame having a bottom panel and side panels, each of the side panels having an upper chamfered edge. The base member also includes a storage cavity at least partially defined by the bottom panel and the side panels and a lid configured to be selectively mounted on the base frame such that the lid covers the storage cavity.

The invention pertains to a method of monitoring the quality of a mattress during its lifetime, wherein the mattress is an assembly of multiple separate parts, wherein the parts are mechanically interconnected, the method comprising during its lifetime, assessing at least one property of the mattress, determining whether or not the property meets a predetermined specification, and when the property does not meet the predetermined specification, identifying a part of the said multiple separate parts that corresponds to the property, removing the identified part from the assembly and optionally replacing the removed part with a replacement part, wherein the mattress that is monitored is manufactured by forming the mechanical interconnection with an adhesive, which adhesive has a first order phase-transition temperature between 80° C. and 180° C., at which temperature the adhesive undergoes a solid-liquid transition, and wherein before the said removing of the identified part, the adhesive with which this part is interconnected with other parts in the assembly is heated to a temperature above its phase-transition temperature, whereafter the identified part is grasped and pulled out of the assembly. The invention also pertains to a method of manufacturing a mattress suitable for use in this monitoring method.

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.

Mattress assemblies are disclosed herein. The mattress assemblies can include a multilayered construction having a base layer, a coil layer, and a zoned cushioning layer. The zoned cushioning layer can include two or more cushioning members made of an elastomeric cushioning material. The cushioning members can be disposed in a hip region, a shoulder region, and/or a leg region of the mattress assembly. One or more support and/or comfort layers can also be included.

The present invention relates to a supporting module (100) for use in an adaptive sleep system and to a sleep system comprising such supporting modules, the resistance (resilience) of which can be adapted in a simple manner to the anatomy and/or posture of a user. The supporting module (100) for an adaptive sleep system comprises an uppermost supporting element (110), at least two drive shafts (140, 140′), at least two leaf springs (130, 130′) positioned parallel to one another, each leaf spring (130, 130′) including a first and a second end, each first end being connected to the first supporting element, and each second end being in contact with an adjacent drive shaft (140, 140′) via a coupling element (150), wherein the position of the second end of a leaf spring (130, 130′) with respect to the adjacent drive shaft (140, 140′) determines the deformation resistance of this leaf spring (130, 130′), and wherein the coupling element (150) has been configured to transmit the rotational motion of at least one drive shaft (140, 140′) to the leaf spring (130, 130′), in order to modify the position of the second end of the leaf spring (130, 130′) with respect to the adjacent drive shaft (140, 140′).

A type of rollable bed base that will serve as a platform for use in the furniture sector, especially in the mattress production sector, for mattresses, headboards and beds without a base.

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.
