The temperature management bedding systems provide heat control and mass transfer of moisture from the bedding surface.

An infection control bedding product such as a pillow, duvet, mattress, cushion or such like having a sealed cover, a resiliently deformable filling material, and a vent means in the cover, the vent means including a filter medium including a filter membrane for the removal of particles of microbial size, a strengthening layer of material for providing mechanical strength to the filter medium, and an adhesive layer, wherein the filter medium allows air flow therethrough but is substantially impermeable to liquid while maintaining a barrier to particles of microbial size; optionally, wherein the adhesive layer is formed from a plurality of dots of adhesive applied to the strengthening layer.

A fire-retardant and antimicrobial rayon fiber includes a preservative, e.g., zinc pyrithione, as an antimicrobial agent. The present invention is further directed to a yarn that includes the fire-retardant and antimicrobial rayon fiber. The yarn may be a sheath-and-core yarn where the fire-retardant and antimicrobial rayon fiber is incorporated into the sheath, and the core is formed from fiberglass or any other suitable material. The present invention is further directed to a fabric formed from the fire-retardant and antimicrobial rayon fiber, such as a nonwoven fabric, a knit fabric, or a woven fabric. Moreover, the present invention is further directed to an article such as one or more layers of a mattress or bedding formed from the fire-retardant and antimicrobial rayon fiber.

A mattress includes a plurality of layers vertically stacked to one another, the plurality of layers comprising a first layer; a second layer; and a third layer. The first layer comprises a plurality of openings defined therein being operably in fluidic communication with a plurality of fans for providing air circulation to a user through the mattress. The second layer is disposed between the first layer and the third layer and comprises an array of springs.

A pure bamboo fiber mattress and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The manufacturing method includes the following steps: trimming and cleaning bamboo; sawing; splitting; slicing the bamboo strips; knitting; softening; directional fiber opening; dry cleaning, drying and removing dust; stacking; sewing and packing. The pure bamboo fiber mattress includes a surface layer, a transition layer, a core layer, another transition layer and another surface layer that are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The surface layer includes 3-5 layers of first bamboo mesh fabric laid one on top of another. The transition layer includes 3-8 layers of second bamboo mesh fabric laid one on top of another. The core layer includes 3-8 layers of third bamboo mesh fabric laid one on top of another. The first bamboo mesh fabric, the second bamboo mesh fabric and the third bamboo mesh fabric are made of bamboo fibers.

A mattress core material includes a plurality of flat cushion bodies stacked in a thickness direction thereof, including at least a first cushion body which becomes an upper part when using the mattress core material; and a second cushion body which becomes a lower part when using the mattress core material, the first and second cushion bodies including a three-dimensional filaments-linked structure, the first and second cushion bodies each including a high-density upper surface layer having high filament density, formed in an upper surface layer region; a high-density lower surface layer having high filament density, formed in a lower surface layer region; and a low-density elastic layer formed between the high-density upper surface layer and the high-density lower surface layer, the low-density elastic layer being lower in filament density than each high-density surface layer, a intermediate position in the thickness direction of the mattress core material in which the first and second cushion bodies are stacked as upper and lower parts in the thickness direction, respectively, the high-density intermediate layer having a function of distributing a vertically applied compressive stress, along a curvature of an interface between the first and second cushion bodies in the high-density intermediate layer.

Disclosed is a support article containing a first non-woven layer and a second non-woven layer. The first non-woven layer contains a blend of fibers of about 15-70% by weight fire resistant (FR) rayon fibers, 10-30% by weight hollow conjugated siliconized fibers, and 20-40% by weight binder fibers. The second non-woven layer contains a blend of FR rayon fibers, hollow conjugated siliconized fibers, and binder fibers. The amount of FR rayon fiber is within 15 percentage points of the weight percentage of FR rayon fiber in the first non- woven layer. The lower surface of the first non-woven layer is adhered to the upper surface of the second non-woven layer. The density of the first non-woven layer is at least 10% less than the density of the second non-woven layer.
