11559143 · 2023-01-24 · ·

A method of manufacturing a mattress that comprises forming a mattress inner core; forming a non-quilted mattress cover; and attaching the non-quilted mattress cover to the inner core without sewing. The non-quilted mattress cover may be formed of a laminate including a polymeric non-woven fabric that may be embossed and cut to include a cover top panel and a plurality of cover side panels that are unitary with and extend outward from the cover top panel. The step of attaching the non-quilted mattress cover to the inner core without sewing includes orthogonally orienting the cover side panels relative to the cover top panel and fusing portions of adjoining surfaces of adjacent cover side panels to each other to form a coffin, inserting the mattress inner core into the coffin, folding non-fused portions of the adjoining surface of the adjacent cover side panels over the mattress inner core, and bonding a bottom panel to the non-fused portions of the cover side panels and the mattress inner core.

Present embodiments relate to abed sheet assembly (20). More particularly, but without limitation, present embodiments relate to bed sheet assemblies which connect to a mattress (12) or mattress cover (40) and which defines a fitted sheet (22) and a second sheet (24) connected to the fitted sheet.

GROUNDED MATTRESS

Systems and methods are provided for grounding a person lying on a mattress. Such grounding may connect a user's body to the earth and enable electrical discharge off the human body. The systems and methods may include a mattress pad having conductive inner and outer layers. The mattress pad may also include an insulating interior layer having a flame-retardant layer, a first foam layer, and a second foam layer. The mattress pad may also include a conductive edge ribbon configured to electrically couple the inner and outer layers, as well as a grounding terminal. A grounding cable may be realized to ground the inner layer, outer layer, and conductive edge ribbon. The grounded mattress then grounds the human body, allowing it to get closer to a natural electrical potential. This can reduce static electricity, static shocks and enhance quality sleep. The mattress will also improve shielding from electromagnetic fields (EMFs).

A removable mattress topper for a mattress assembly is provided that includes a foam layer including one or more vibrating units. The removable mattress topper includes a cover encapsulating the foam layer. The cover includes a top panel, a bottom panel, and sidewalls extending between the top and bottom panels, wherein the bottom panel comprises a zippered portion extending about at least a portion of a peripheral edge of the bottom panel. Also disclosed are mattress assemblies including the removable mattress topper, wherein the mattress assembly includes a mattress core and a cover encapsulating the mattress core, wherein the cover includes a top panel and a zippered portion about a peripheral edge of the top panel. The zippered portion of the mattress core is configured to mechanically engage the zippered portion of the removable mattress topper.

MATTRESS WITH VARIABLE FRICTION FLAME BARRIER CAP AND RELATED METHOD
20220408936 · 2022-12-29 ·

An improved mattress FR cap structure incorporating skirting with zones of different friction character. The skirting incorporates a first zone positioned for placement across upper portions of the mattress' vertical sides and a second zone positioned for placement over lower edges of the vertical sides. The first zone forms a first high friction interface with the underlying mattress foam or other material providing substantially stable, fixed positioning between the first zone and the underlying material restricting relative movement. The second zone provides a low friction interface with the underlying mattress foam or other material permitting relative movement between the second zone and the underlying material during compression and/or recovery. The FR cap may also include a third zone positioned for placement adjacent to the second zone for disposition at the underside of the mattress in the final construction and providing a second high friction interface with the underlying material.

MAGNETIC BEDDING SYSTEM WITH ZIPPERED ACCESS
20220400869 · 2022-12-22 ·

The present invention is a bedding system that simultaneously: 1) simplifies the process of installing a fitted sheet; 2) simplifies the process of removing and reinserting a duvet from a duvet cover; 3) secures a duvet inside the cover so it does not shift, bunch, or fold inside the cover; and 4) allows a user to quickly and easily to make a bed with all parts neatly aligned. The system comprises: a fitted sheet with zippers, a duvet, a duvet cover, and optionally a flat sheet. The invention further comprises a plurality of magnets and/or thin ferrous metal plates that secure a duvet inside the cover such that it does not shift, bunch, or fold inside the cover and align the duvet cover with the fitted sheet.

The embedded storage space structure of air mattress having a three-dimensional fabric
20220369826 · 2022-11-24 ·

The present invention relates to an embedded accommodation space structure of an air mattress made of three-dimensional woven fabrics, the structure providing, when an air mattress that has an airtightness-exhibiting coating layer, which is formed on the outer surface of three-dimensional woven fabric woven from a plurality of pieces of pile yarn connecting the space between woven surfaces facing each other at both sides thereof, so as to be inflated by means of air pressure is manufactured, an independent space in which electric components such as a speaker for generating sound and vibration and an air pump for filling the mattress with air can be provided in a concealed state, so that the exposure of the electric components is blocked while maintaining sound transmission characteristics through the pile yarn, and thus convenience of use and exterior attractiveness can be increased. The structure for providing the independent space while maintaining the vibration characteristics of the pile yarn, inside a normal air mattress in which the three-dimensional woven fabrics are used as a base, is characterized in that a barrel-shaped box, of which the upper part is blocked by a flange formed on the outer peripheral surface of an opening so that the electric components such as the speaker for transmitting sound and the air pump for injecting air are selectively accommodated therein through the opening provided at the bottom surface thereof, and a cylinder-shaped isolated part, of which the side is opened in a state in which the plurality of pieces of pile yarn is woven above the box so as to be vertically connected between upper and lower woven surfaces and coating films are respectively formed on the outer sides of the upper and lower woven surfaces, are integrally joined therein.
