Claims20
A cushion having a fibrous foam architecture, the cushion comprising:
- a trim cover;
- a fibrous volume attached to the trim cover, wherein the fibrous volume comprises a plurality of fibrous layers;
- and
- wherein at least one individual fibrous layer comprises a plurality of stacking fibrous sheets,
- wherein one or more structural properties of the at least one individual fibrous layer is defined by at least one of a number or pitch of the plurality of stacking fibrous sheets that make up the individual fibrous layer, and
- wherein individual stacking fibrous sheets are formed of substantially a same type of fibers or a same blend of fibers.
3 more elements
A fibrous foam architecture comprising:
- a plurality of fibrous layers, wherein at least one individual fibrous layer comprises a plurality of stacking fibrous sheets, such that porosity of the at least one individual fibrous layer is defined by at least one of a number or pitch of the plurality of stacking fibrous sheets that make up the individual fibrous layer to differ from that of another individual fibrous layer to impact a feel of the fibrous foam architecture, and
- wherein individual stacking fibrous sheets are formed of substantially a same type of fibers or a same blend of fibers.
