Fire-resistant mattress having combustible material compartmentalized between fire-resistant layers

A fire-retardant mattress comprised of:

• an inner support compartment having six sides;
• a first layer of fire-retardant material adjacent to each side of the inner support compartment;
• at least one layer of material adjacent to the first layer of fire-retardant material on each side of the inner support compartment;
• and
• a second layer of fire-retardant material adjacent to the at least one layer of material on each side of the inner support compartment distal to the first layer of fire-retardant material.

A fire-retardant mattress comprised of:

• an inner support compartment;
• a fire-resistant insulation layer having a first side and a second side, the first side adjacent to at least one side of the inner support compartment;
• a first layer of material adjacent to the second side of the fire-resistant layer;
• a quilt layer having a first side and a second side, the first side of the quilt layer adjacent to the first layer of material distal from the fire-resistant layer;
• a second layer of material adjacent to the second side of the quilt layer;
• a second fire-resistant insulation layer adjacent to the second layer of material and distal from the quilt layer;
• and
• an outer ticking layer adjacent to the second fire-resistant layer.

A method of manufacturing a fire-resistant mattress, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing an inner support compartment;
• placing a first layer of fire-resistant material on a first side of the inner support compartment;
• positioning at least one layer of material adjacent to the first fire-resistant layer of material;
• aligning a second layer of fire-resistant material on the at least one layer of combustible material distal to the first layer of fire-resistant material;
• and
• placing a second layer of material outboard of the second layer of fire-resistant material distal to the inner support compartment.
