Pocketed foam systems and methods

A padding system comprising:

• (i) a first pocket assembly, the first pocket assembly including;
• 1. a first pocket, the first pocket being substantially cylindrical and having a circumferential portion, wherein the first pocket has a top and a bottom and defines a first cavity having a first volume;
• and
• 2. a first foam component, the first foam component being substantially cylindrical and wholly filling the first volume of the first pocket such that the first foam component projects outwardly from and is not enclosed by one of the bottom or the top of the first pocket;
• (ii) a second pocket assembly, the second pocket assembly including;
• 1. a second pocket, the second pocket being substantially cylindrical and having a circumferential portion, wherein the second pocket has a top and a bottom and defines a second cavity having a second volume;
• and
• 2. a second foam component, the second foam component being substantially cylindrical and wholly filling the second volume of the second pocket such that the second foam component projects outwardly from and is not enclosed by one of the bottom or the top of the second pocket;
• and
• (iii) a bedding substrate;
• (iv) a first transition portion attaching the first pocket assembly to the bedding substrate;
• and
• (v) a second transition portion attaching the first pocket assembly to the second pocket assembly and wherein the first pocket assembly and the second pocket assembly form a string array.
