Abstract
Mattress assemblies include a hybrid posture support system that provide an end user with improved posture support during use, among other advantages. The hybrid posture support system includes a top foam layer including first and second foam portions that are spaced apart and generally correspond to a head/shoulder region and a foot region, respectively, a pocketed microcoil array underlying the top foam layer that is intermediate the first and second foam portions; and an underlying foam layer. The hybrid posture support system can be used in any mattress assembly including mattresses having a coil spring innercore or a foam innercore.
Claims25
A hybrid posture support system for a mattress assembly comprising:
- a top foam layer including top and bottom planar surfaces;
- first and second foam portions underlying the top foam layer having a width that spans a width of the top foam layer and a length that is a fraction of a length of the top foam layer, wherein the first and second foam portions are spaced part from one another and generally correspond to a head/shoulder region and a foot region;
- a pocketed microcoil array underlying the top foam layer intermediate and abutting the spaced apart first and second foam portions, wherein the microcoil array comprises a plurality of microcoils arranged in columns and rows encased in a fabric and have an unloaded height of less than 3 inches;
- and
- an underlying foam layer top and bottom planar surfaces.
A mattress assembly comprising:
- a mattress innercore comprising at least one coiled spring layer, and an underlying foam support layer, the at least one coiled spring layer have a height within a range of at least 4 inches to about 12 inches;
- a hybrid posture support system located along a length of the mattress assembly, the hybrid posture support system comprising a top foam layer including top and bottom planar surfaces, first and second foam portions having a width that spans a width of the top foam layer and a length that is a fraction of a length of the top foam layer, wherein the first and second foam portions are spaced apart from one another and generally correspond to a head/shoulder region and a foot region;
- a pocketed microcoil array underlying the top foam layer intermediate the spaced apart first and second foam portions, wherein the pocketed microcoil array comprises a plurality of microcoils arranged in columns and rows encased in a fabric and have an unloaded height of less than 3 inches;
- and an underlying foam layer;
- and
- one or more overlying foam layers
