An innerspring unit with a plurality of helical coils arranged in at least one array in which the coils are generally aligned in rows, with the coils having generally cylindrical bodies formed by helical turns of the spring with openings in between each of the helical turns. The embodiment may also include a plurality of compressible support members, each of which is secured within at least one of the openings so that each one of the compressible support members is secured within an opening. The compressible support members may be stacked on top of one another. A plurality of innerspring units may be arranged together to form a mattress.

A mattress includes a top face, a bottom face, a pair of opposing sides defining a mattress width there between, a first microcoil support foam layer and a second microcoil support foam layer. The first microcoil support foam layer includes a plurality of first pockets and a plurality of first protrusions, and the second microcoil support foam layer includes a plurality of second pockets and a plurality of second protrusions. A plurality of separate microcoil cells are formed as lines of microcoils having a width of a single microcoil and a length containing sufficient number of microcoils such that the line of microcoils spans the mattress width. Each one of the microcoil cells is disposed between a given second protrusion and first pocket or a given first protrusion and second pocket.

A method for customizing a mattress includes acquiring a three dimensional image of a body of a user and preparing, by a processor, a three dimensional model of the body of the user using the three-dimensional image. The method also includes dividing, by the processor, the three dimensional model into a plurality of sections arranged parallel to each other and arrayed along a height of the three dimensional model, and determining a downward pressure to be exerted by each of the plurality of sections on the mattress. The method further includes determining, by the processor, one or more parameters associated with at least one portion of the mattress adapted to be arranged underneath an associated section when person lies on the mattress based on the determined downward pressure or topography.

Mattresses and improved fabric covers for providing mattresses that have smooth surfaces. Additionally, methods for manufacturing non-quilted mattress covers and for manufacturing mattresses employing non-quilted mattress covers. The systems and methods described herein include mattress panels that can be manufactured separate from the inner core construction, and laid over the inner core to be fastened in place as a sleeping surface for the mattress. Optionally, these mattress panels can include a layer of fire retardant material, that may be added as a layer of material or that may be incorporated into one or more of the layers, such as a filler layer, in the mattress panel.

The method also includes dividing, by the processor, the three dimensional model into a plurality of cylindrical sections arranged parallel to each other and arrayed along a height of the three dimensional model, and determining a downward pressure to be exerted by at least one desired cylindrical section on the mattress. The method further includes determining, by the processor, one or more parameters associated with at least one portion of the mattress adapted to be arranged underneath the at least one desired cylindrical section when person lies on the mattress based on the determined downward pressure.

A polymeric material mixture comprising a fluorine-containing polymer, a siloxane polymer, and at least two polymer processing additives (PPA), wherein the at least two polymer processing additives have different chemistries. For example, there can be a flexible coextruded pipe for providing a protective housing for cables, fluids, sludge or solids, the pipe comprising a pair of telescopically related inner and outer layers, where said inner layer is lubricated with the polymeric material mixture.

A comfort layer for a bedding or seating product has liquid pods sandwiched between plies of fabric. The plies of fabric are joined with seams thereby creating pockets, at least one liquid pod being inside each pocket. Each seam joining opposed plies of fabric around each of the liquid pods of the comfort layer may be segmented or solid, depending upon the fabric and type of seam.

The present invention relates to a new mattress embodiment for mattresses, the embodiment allows the adjustment of the desired firmness level in the desired part of a bed that can be used in homes, hotels, workplaces etc. The invention also provides a new mattress embodiment for mattresses, that allows the adjustment firmness level in a bed a and at any moment desired by the user.
