    摘要: A bed foundation includes a frame and one or more panels positioned on top of the frame to define an upper surface of the bed foundation for supporting a mattress. The frame includes a plurality of rails which, when assembled together, at least partially define the frame. The plurality of rails are comprised of a thermoplastic foam that is lighter than wood or other similarly- or heavier-weighted materials commonly utilized in the construction of bed foundations, thereby facilitating easier shipping, lifting, carrying, and assembly of the bed foundation. The one or more panels can also be comprised of thermoplastic foam. The frame can further include a plurality of brackets to interconnect select rails of the frame. A kit for a bed foundation and a method of assembling a bed foundation are also provided.

    摘要: A hybrid pillow includes a cushion material defining a recess. A coil panel is positioned within the recess of the cushion material with the coil panel formed of a plurality of coil springs, an upper fabric layer, and a lower fabric layer. The upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer are joined between the plurality of coil springs and along peripheral edges of the first coil panel. A gel layer is also positioned within the recess of the cushion material and over the coil panel. A method of manufacturing the pillow includes dispensing a liquid gel in a mold, positioning a coil panel in the mold and on top of the liquid gel, dispensing a foam precursor in the mold, and foaming the foam precursor to form a cushion material that is secured to the coil panel.

    摘要: A mattress assembly is provided that includes a mattress core having a bottom surface and a top surface opposite the bottom surface, and a mattress topper positioned adjacent to the top surface of the mattress core. The mattress topper includes a plurality of coil springs, an upper fabric layer extending above the plurality of coil springs, and a lower fabric layer extending below the plurality of coil springs. The lower fabric layer is connected to the upper fabric layer around each coil spring such that the upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer collectively form a fabric pocket encasing each coil spring. The mattress topper further includes a padded layer positioned atop the upper fabric layer, with the padded layer connected to the upper fabric layer by ultrasonic welds and/or tufts. Methods of producing a mattress topper for connection to a mattress core are further provided.

    摘要: A pocketed spring, such as that used in a mattress, comprises: a compression spring having an upper end convolution and a lower end convolution opposite the upper end convolution, and a plurality of helical intermediate convolutions between the upper end convolution and the lower end convolution; a flexible enclosure including a top wall positioned adjacent to the upper end convolution of the compression spring, a bottom wall positioned adjacent to the lower end convolution of the compression spring, and a side wall that extends from the top wall to the bottom wall; and a tension member connected to the flexible enclosure. The tension member acts in opposition to the compression spring until the pocketed spring is compressed to a point at which the tension member no longer applies any force. Thus, the pocketed spring exhibits a non-linear response when compressed.

    摘要: A coil-in-coil spring is provided that exhibits a variable and non-linear loading response upon compression. The spring comprises a continuous wire including a first spring portion having a first spring constant, a second spring portion having a second spring constant less than the first spring constant, and a third spring portion having a third spring constant less than the first spring constant and less than the second spring constant. In the coil-in-coil spring, the first spring portion forms an outer coil of the coil-in-coil spring and the second spring portion, the third spring portion, or both the second spring portion and the third spring portion are positioned within the first spring portion and form an inner coil of the coil-in-coil spring. A multi-coil spring is also provided that includes an outer coil, an intermediate coil positioned within the outer coil, and an inner coil positioned with the intermediate coil.
