A pillow includes an inferior portion and an outer portion. The interior portion is comprised of a first flexible foam, while the outer portion is comprised of a second flexible foam having a density different than that of the first flexible foam. Methods of producing a pillow are also provided whereby either a first foam precursor is dispensed into a central portion of a mold to provided a first flexible foam, or a pre-formed foam insert comprised of a first flexible foam is placed into a central portion of a mold. A second foam precursor is then subsequently dispensed into a peripheral portion of the mold to produce a second flexible foam having a density different than that of the first flexible foam. Upon reaction and expansion of the foam precursors, a molded foam pillow is produced having dual densities.

A support cushion is provided for moving an amount of air through the support cushion. The support cushion includes a body supporting layer having a removable portion, an upper base layer defining one or more air conduits In fluid communication with the removable portion, a lower base layer defining a cavity, and a bottom layer. A fan is positioned within the cavity such that the fan is in fluid communication with the one or more air conduits defined by the upper base layer. The fan is thus capable of drawing air from the top surface of the body supporting layer, through the removable portion, through the one or more air conduits in the upper base layer, and exhausting the air into the bottom layer. Methods of actively ventilating a support cushion are also provided.

A cushion includes a foam body having first and second lateral support portions defining an elongated recess therebetween. The cushion can also include a cover at least partially enclosing the foam body and means for releasably coupling the cushion to a support member to facilitate transport of the support member and the cushion as a unit. Also, the cushion can include another body positioned in the recess, removable from the recess for use in supporting a lumbar or posterior area of a user, and releasably attachable within the recess by one or more fasteners.

A cover assembly for a mattress is provided that includes a first cover and a second cover. The first cover includes a top panel, a bottom panel, and a continuous side panel collectively defining a cavity for enclosing the mattress. The second cover includes a top surface and a bottom surface, with the second cover being positioned over and dimensionally-sized to cover at least the top panel of the first cover. A fastener then connects the second cover to the first cover along the perimeter of the second cover. Methods for marking a mattress are also provided that include the step of marking an indicia indicative of a characteristic of a mattress on the top surface of the second cover of the cover assembly.

A pillow is provided that includes a foam core and a gel insert molded to each side of the foam core. Methods of producing a pillow are further provided and include a step of providing a foam molding system having a top mold defining a plurality of air ports and a bottom mold defining a plurality of air ports. A vacuum is applied to the plurality of air ports in both the top mold and bottom mold, and a gel insert is then positioned against each of the plurality of air ports. A foam precursor is subsequently dispensed into the bottom mold atop the gel insert, and the top mold is secured to the bottom mold. The foam precursor then expands within the foam molding system and bonds with the two gel inserts to produce a pillow having a gel insert molded to each side of the pillow.

Mattress assemblies are provided that include a mattress, a mattress overlay, and a mattress cover that is comprised of a first cover and a second cover. The first cover includes a top panel, a bottom panel, and a continuous side panel that collectively define a cavity and enclose the mattress. The mattress overlay is positioned atop the mattress and the first mattress cover. The second cover, which defines a perimeter, is positioned over and is dimensionally-sized to cover the mattress overlay and at least the top panel of the first cover. The second cover can then be connected to the first cover by a fastener that extends along the perimeter of the second cover.

Retainer bar assemblies are provided for use is an adjustable base of a support cushion. The retainer bar assemblies include a retainer bar having a horizontal rod and two legs connected to the horizontal rod with an end portion that extends from each leg in a direction substantially parallel to the horizontal rod. The retainer bar assemblies further include a pair of brackets where each bracket defines at least one channel for receiving the end portion of the two legs. Each channel has a vertical segment and an angled segment such that each channel is configured to allow the horizontal rod to be moved upward and rotated away from each bracket. Adjustable support cushions or bed assemblies that include the retainer bar assemblies are also provided.
