Underlay for the human body and method for producing the same

Abstract

A simply constructed, inexpensive underlay (10) for which the underspringing arrangement (12) is formed in the simplest case by a plastic sheet (15), which is selectively reinforced by supplementary crosslinking of the plastic of the plastic sheet (15). This crosslinking provides the plastic sheet (15) with supplementarily consolidated, more stable regions (20), which support the mattress (11). If required, the plastic sheet (15) having supplementarily consolidated regions (20) may be assigned spring strips (14). It is also conceivable to integrate the underspringing arrangement (12) in the mattress (11). The underspringing arrangement (12) formed according to the invention can be easily produced, thereby creating a low-cost underlay (10) with good resilient properties.
