An upholstery device has a top face, a bottom face and, between top face and bottom face, sides walls extending around the outer circumference. A cover layer surrounds the top face, the side walls and/or the bottom face. A cushioning layer is arranged under the top cover layer. The cover layer is light-transmissive. The cushioning layer is also light-transmissive. A heat-absorbing flexible absorber layer is arranged underneath the cushioning layer. A solar thermal storage layer is operatively connected to the absorber layer and arranged underneath or above the absorber layer and has phase change material, or PCM. Alternatively, a functional layer with a solar thermal storage layer made of integrated, solar thermal phase change material, or PCM, is arranged underneath the cushioning layer at least in certain regions, in particular over the whole surface, wherein the functional layer has in particular an absorber layer.

A mattress comprising a polyurethane layer; at least one intermediate layer comprising at least one channel, at least one support element, or both, wherein a bottom-most intermediate layer is and disposed directly above the polyurethane layer; and a comfort layer disposed directly above an uppermost intermediate layer. A mattress assembly comprising the mattress and a mattress foundation.

A bed defining a negative space to accommodate side sleepers and stomach sleepers by providing a space into which the user's arms and shoulders can extend. Channel pillows can be placed inside the negative space to provide support for the user's head while allowing the user's hands and shoulders to slide in between the channel pillow and the wall that define the negative space. The negative space is formed into a foundation having an upper torso region, a lower torso region, and a transition region therebetween. The transition region can comprise an angled wall. A cushion layer with a slanted wall is configured to cover the transition region and lower torso region of the foundation. An upper, comfort layer can be provided with a cutout that aligns with the negative space when placed on top of the foundation and cushion layer.

A seat pad 1 is a seat pad including a resin foamed body 50, and a sheet member 70 buried in the resin foamed body, and when a direction orthogonal to a right-left direction and a thickness direction of the seat pad is referred to as an extending direction of the seat pad, at least a central part of the sheet member is curved in a convex shape on a back surface side of the seat pad in the extending direction.

Described herein is a method of forming a mattress (and product thereof) including providing a cover-top panel compact that includes a top panel having one or more filler layers and a drape that is affixed to the top panel at a first margin. The method entails detaching the drape at a second margin and inverting the drape to engage a supporting core, thereby completing the mattress assembly.

An adjustable fully upholstered chaise recliner is provided. The chaise comprises a stationary outer frame coupled to a platform. The platform is configured to move between a first position and a second position while the outer frame remains stationary. A cushion is coupled to the platform and is fully upholstered to the platform such that a cover material encloses the cushion and the platform. Movement of the platform causes one or more bending portions of the cushion to bend. The chaise further comprises one or more cords, each extending through the cushion with a first end coupled to the cover material and a second end coupled to the platform. The cords are configured to pull on the cover material such that movement of the platform from the first position to the second position does not result in bunching of the cover material near the bending portions of the cushion.
