Abstract
A mattress assembly includes a chassis having top and bottom walls and first and second sidewalls that each extend from the top wall to the bottom wall. Inner surfaces of the walls and the sidewalls define an interior cavity. The top and bottom walls each include a first section that is connected to the first sidewall and a second section that is connected to the second sidewall such that the first sections are pivotable relative to the first sidewall and the second sections are pivotable relative to the second sidewall. The first section of the top wall is pivotable relative to the second section of the top wall and the first section of the bottom wall is pivotable relative to the second section of the bottom wall. A spring assembly is configured to be positioned within the interior cavity.
Claims20
A bedding system comprising:
- a chassis comprising a bottom wall, opposite first and second side walls extending upwardly from the bottom wall and opposite first and second end walls extending upwardly from the bottom wall, the end walls and the side walls each being permanently coupled to the bottom wall, the walls defining a cavity, the end walls each including a first section connected to the first side wall and a second section connected to the second side wall such that the second section is movable relative to the first section, the first section of the first end wall being movable relative to the second section of the first end wall, the first section of the second end wall being movable relative to the second section of the second end wall;
- a cover covering outer surfaces of the side walls and the end walls;
- a spring pack positioned in the cavity, the spring pack comprising a plurality of springs;
- a barrier layer positioned over the spring pack, the barrier layer being attached to the cover by a first zipper;
- a topper positioned over the barrier layer, the topper being attached to the cover by a second zipper;
- and
- an outer layer positioned over the topper, the outer layer being attached to the cover.

A bedding system comprising:
- a chassis comprising a bottom wall, opposite first and second side walls extending from the bottom wall and opposite first and second end walls each extending from the bottom wall and from the first side wall to the second side wall, the end walls and the side walls each being permanently coupled to the bottom wall, the walls defining a cavity, the end walls each including a first section connected to the first side wall and a second section connected to the second side wall such that the second section is movable relative to the first section, the first section of the first end wall being movable relative to the second section of the first end wall, the first section of the second end wall being movable relative to the second section of the second end wall;
- a cover covering outer surfaces of the side walls and the end walls;
- a spring pack positioned in the cavity, the spring pack comprising a proximal wall that directly engages the first end wall and an opposite distal wall that directly engages the second end wall, the spring pack defining a pocket that extends continuously from the proximal wall to the distal wall, the spring pack comprising a plurality of springs disposed in the pocket;
- a barrier layer positioned over the spring pack, the barrier layer being removably attached to the cover by a first zipper;
- a topper positioned over the barrier layer, the topper being attached to the cover by a second zipper;
- and
- an outer layer positioned over the topper, the outer layer being attached to the cover.

- a chassis comprising a bottom wall, opposite first and second side walls extending upwardly from the bottom wall and opposite first and second end walls extending upwardly from the bottom wall, the end walls and the side walls each being permanently coupled to the bottom wall, the walls defining a cavity, the cavity defining a perimeter, the end walls each including a first section connected to the first side wall and a second section connected to the second side wall such that the second section is movable relative to the first section, the first section of the first end wall being movable relative to the second section of the first end wall, the first section of the second end wall being movable relative to the second section of the second end wall;
- a cover covering outer surfaces of the side walls and the end walls, the cover comprising a cushioning material within a fabric pocket;
- a spring pack positioned in the cavity, the spring pack comprising first and second spring assemblies each extending continuously from a proximal wall that directly engages the first end wall to an opposite distal wall that directly engages the second end wall, the spring assemblies each including a pocket extending continuously from the proximal wall to the distal wall and a plurality of springs disposed in the pocket, the first spring assembly being removable from the cavity independent of the second spring assembly;
- a barrier layer positioned over the spring pack, the barrier layer being attached to the cover by a first zipper, the first zipper extending entirely around the perimeter;
- a topper positioned over the barrier layer, the topper being attached to the cover by a second zipper;
- and
- an outer layer positioned over the topper, the outer layer being attached directly to the cover such that the outer layer is removable relative to the cover.
