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.

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.

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).

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.

A mattress and mattress cover assembly, comprising a mattress component, wherein the mattress component includes a first foam layer having a top side and a bottom side; and a second foam layer, wherein the second foam layer is attached to and extends widthwise and lengthwise across the bottom side of the first foam layer; and a covering completely enclosing the mattress component, wherein the covering includes at least one liquid-resistant layer, wherein the at least one liquid-resistant layer is an outer layer comprising elastic fibers; and at least one fire-retardant layer either attached to or formed integrally with the at least one liquid-resistant layer, wherein the at least one fire-retardant layer is an inner layer comprising fire-retardant fibers.

The present invention relates to a flame-retardant nonwoven fabric for a mattress, and a flame-retardant nonwoven fabric for mattresses comprising flame-retardant rayon (FR-Rayon) staple fibers of 20 to 50% by weight; modacrylic staple fibers of 30 to 60% by weight; polyimide (PI) staple fibers of 10 to 30% by weight; and low melting polyester (LM PET) staple fibers of 5 to 20% by weight provides enhanced flame retarding and mechanical properties.

A fabric includes a yarn having a core and a sheath. The core is composed of spandex. The sheath includes a plurality of fire-retardant fibers which are spun around the core in a spiral manner. The fabric does not include any glass.

A task is to provide a fire-resistant fabric and a seat each having excellent flame retardancy, fire resistance, strength, comfortability, and formability, and a solution to problem is that a fire-resistant fabric which has a bending resistance of 95 mm or less in the warp direction or in the weft direction, as measured by the method prescribed in JIS L 1096 (2010) A method (45° cantilever method), is obtained using a flame-retardant fiber having an LOI of 26 or more, as measured in accordance with JIS L 1091 (1999) E-2 method.

A cellular furniture construction system that includes: a set of voxels, that form a lattice providing the shape and structure of the furniture construction, wherein regions of the furniture construction comprise distinct three-dimensional lattice arrangements of different types of voxels, providing distinct stress/strain properties to the regions; wherein each voxel comprises: a voxel type, defined by the stress and strain property of the voxel, and a discrete cellular three-dimensional structure, enabled to connect with other voxels along any one of the voxel interface surfaces. The system functions as a lightweight, modular, furniture construction system, wherein the system leverages arrangements of different voxel types to construct a furniture structure with desired stress/strain properties to regions of the structure.

An upholstered comfort member, comprising a resilient comfort material and a cover fabric. The resilient comfort material comprises lignocellulosic fibres, which provides resilient properties to the resilient comfort material, and a binder at a concentration of between 1 and 30 wt %. The binder binds the lignocellulosic fibres together. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing of such an upholstered comfort member.
