MATTRESS ASSEMBLY WITH REDUCED HEAT INDEX
Mattress assemblies that provide reduced heat index during use include a thermally conductive layer and a spacer layer and in direct contact with the thermally conductive layer. Optionally, the thermally conductive foam layer can be perforated. In some embodiments, the thermally conductive layer and the spacer layer can overlay an innerspring mattress core, one or more foam layers, or a hybrid of foam and innersprings. In other embodiments, the mattress assemblies include a foam layer such as a viscoelastic foam layer overlying the thermally conductive layer and the spacer layer. Also, disclosed are processes for reducing the heat index in a mattress assembly.
CUSHION WITH PRESSURE-RELIEVING BILOBATE APERTURE
A cushion assembly for supporting a sitting or reclining person includes a cushion formed with a cushion aperture. The person may suspend a part of their body within the void space of the cushion aperture to avoid contact pressure between the cushion assembly and the suspended body part. An optional cushion insert may be positioned in the cushion aperture. The cushion insert is formed with a bilobate insert aperture and an insert ridge projecting into the insert aperture has a first insert aperture lobe extending away from a first side of the insert ridge and a second insert aperture lobe extending away from a second side of the insert ridge. The cushion insert modifies a size and perimeter shape of the void space in the cushion aperture.
Production and service of a rearrangeable mattress
A method including receiving an input regarding a mattress assembly from an end user, the input including an indication of a desired feel and a plurality of current layers included in the mattress assembly, querying a database using the received input, receiving a list of layers and a layer arrangement from the database in response to the query, determining if the plurality of current layers matches the list of layers, identifying at least one of a specialty layer or a replacement layer when the plurality of current layers do not match the list of layers, determining a recommendation including the list of layers, an indication of a cost of the identified at least one of the specialty layer or the replacement layer when the plurality of current layers does not match the list of layers, and the layer arrangement, and sending the recommendation to the end user.
Stowable bed
A self-inflating stowable bed. The bed includes one or more self-inflating chambers, with each of the self-inflating chambers having one or more polyurethane foam sections therein, with the chamber defined between a first air impervious layer and a second air impervious layer. The self-inflating bed may be evacuated by a household or shop vacuum, and then sealed, rolled or folded, and easily stored or shipped. The polyurethane foam sections may be provided with different members having different indentation force deflection specifications suitable for bed portions and edge of bed portions.
MODULAR MATTRESS SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Modular mattress systems and methods are described. For example, a modular mattress can include a fabric cover configured to surround at least two foam layers. The fabric cover can include an opening to allow access to an interior region of the fabric cover. The mattress can include a first foam layer positioned within the interior region of the fabric cover, and an encasement layer positioned below the first foam layer. The encasement layer can include a recess configured to receive one or more modular support sections. The mattress can also include a plurality of modular support components received within the recess of the encasement.
Component with multiple layers
A bedding component includes a top portion having a gel foam, a middle portion having a foam layer with at least one gel disc, and a bottom portion have a foam core.
MATTRESS ASSEMBLIES INCLUDING A HYBRID POSTURE SUPPORT SYSTEM
Mattress assemblies include a hybrid posture support system that provide an end user with improved posture support during use, among other advantages. The hybrid posture support system includes a top foam layer including first and second foam portions that are spaced apart and generally correspond to a head/shoulder region and a foot region, respectively, a pocketed microcoil array underlying the top foam layer that is intermediate the first and second foam portions; and an underlying foam layer. The hybrid posture support system can be used in any mattress assembly including mattresses having a coil spring innercore or a foam innercore.
Layered sleep system
The present disclosure provides a mattress comprising at least one zonal mattress element a midsection that is firmer than the upper and lower sections and configured to provide support for a hip of a user side sleeping on the mattress and at least one uniform mattress element which provides a neutral posture and may be rearranged to give different users different zonal variations. Furthermore, it discloses a system of the mattress with a pillow to provide a neutral posture or aligned spine to improve both side and back sleeping with neural posture resulting in better sleep, less snoring and less pain.
COVER FOR A BODY SUPPORT CUSHION
A cover for a body support cushion comprises an upper section for covering an upper area of a body support cushion, and a lower section for covering a lower area of the body support cushion. A primary zipper connects the upper section to the lower section. An expansion material is positioned between the upper section and the lower section and is further connected to a secondary zipper including a first coil and a second coil. The first coil and the second coil of the secondary zipper are configured to be separated to expand the expansion material or are configured to be moved together to collapse the expansion material, such that the expansion material is visible in an expanded configuration and is hidden behind the secondary zipper in a collapsed configuration. Body support cushion assemblies that make use of the covers to surround a body support cushion are further provided.
MULILAYERED, ADJUSTABLE MATTRESS SYSTEM WITH ORBITAL SPRINGS
A multilayered, adjustable mattress system with orbital springs comprised of a removeable, fire resistant cover for enclosing the top of the mattress, a zipper having a predetermined zipper track along the bottom of the mattress, wherein the zipper can unzip the removable cover in both directions, a top foam cover, and an open box, rectangular, mattress encasement divided into two head sections, two body sections, and two feet sections. The layers of the mattress include multiple foam layers of varying compressibility, and a rubber spring deck, where the orbital springs are arranged in a honeycomb pattern. Additionally, the layers of the mattress can be interchanged vertically and horizontally within the mattress sections.
