A mattress assembly includes a cover having a pocket. A mattress is positioned within the pocket. The mattress includes opposite first and second sides, the first side having a cavity. An insert is positioned within the cavity. Methods of use are disclosed.

A method for producing a foam body (10) having an internal structure (100, 200, 300), comprising the steps: I) selecting an internal structure (100, 200, 300) to be formed in the foam body (10), the structure comprising a first polymer material; II) providing a foam body (10), the foam body (10) comprising a second polymer material which is different to the first polymer material; III) injecting, by means of an injection means (20), a predefined amount of a melt of the first polymer material or a predefined amount of a reaction mixture (30, 31, 32) which reacts to form the first polymer material at a predefined location inside the foam body (10), corresponding to a volume element of the internal structure (100, 200, 300); IV) repeating step III) for further predefined locations inside the foam body (10), corresponding to further volume elements of the internal structure (10), until the internal structure (10) is formed. The invention also relates to a foam body (10) which has an internal structure (100, 200, 300) and is obtainable by the method according to the invention.

Example embodiments include a padding system that can include a first pocket assembly, the first pocket assembly including a first pocket, where the first pocket at least partially retains a first padding component, and a second pocket assembly, the second pocket assembly including a second pocket, where the second pocket at least partially retains a second padding component, where the first pocket assembly is coupled to the second pocket assembly with a transition portion.

Furniture is assembled from elastic modules enabling rapid and convenient assembly and disassembly. The elastic module has a spring, an outer covering layer, and an end member attached to an end face of the outer covering layer. A mattress includes a plurality of individual spring assemblies (145), with each spring assembly including at least one spring (134) and a spring cap (144, 150, 161, 164, 171, 184, 194, 204). Each spring cap has at least one first attachment fitting (168, 178, 174, 186, 196) and at least one second attachment fitting (169, 180, 176, 187) with each first attachment fitting engageable into or onto and removable from a second attachment fitting of an adjoining spring cap. The spring assemblies are attached to each other via the first and second attachment fittings, forming the individual spring assemblies into a spring core. A top pad is positioned on top of the spring core. The mattress can be quickly dis-assembled and stored in a compact space by removing the top pad and separating the spring assemblies from each other.

A shaped body having at least one spring and at least one foam section. The uppermost section of the foam section is attached to the uppermost section of the at least one spring, and the lowest section of the foam section is attached to the lowest section of the at least one spring. The shaped body may be a viscoelastic foam and may include a temperature-regulating device arranged in thermal contact with the foam section and a control device for the temperature-regulating device adapted to adjust the firmness of the foam section by alteration of temperature. The shaped body is used as a bed or mattress for promoting sleep in one application or as a cushion.

A cushioning module used to make various furniture such as mattresses, made of a matrix of cells, each cell made of typically a cuboid base supporting a typically cuboid top, made of a compressible and retractable material such as foam, which top has a smaller diameter than the base so that when said cells are tightly arranged, each top is apart from adjacent tops, enabling it to contract and retract spring like. Said matrix inside a bag which tightly embraces it from all sides and has an opening via which each cell can be removed and replaced. Pods can have a smoothing layer spread over said tops, means for fastening them together, carrying handle, stiffening pads along their lateral sides and a cover around their assembly. Cells can also be sacks filled with cotton, wool, dawn, foam bits or air which can be let out and re-filled.
