Abstract
Mattress assemblies including at least one encapsulated panel including a layer of fibers and/or foam saturated with a heat absorbing material. The layer is completely encapsulated with a liquid impermeable and flexible material. The heat absorbing material is not microencapsulated.
Claims33
A mattress assembly comprising:
- at least one layer proximate to a sleeping surface of the mattress assembly spanning at least a portion of the length and/or width of the sleeping surface comprising:
- an encapsulated panel comprising:
- a layer of liquid permeable fibers saturated with a heat absorbing material, wherein the layer is completely encapsulated with a liquid impermeable and flexible material.
A mattress assembly comprising:
- at least one layer proximate to a sleeping surface of the mattress assembly spanning at least a portion of the length and/or width of the sleeping surface comprising:
- an encapsulated panel comprising:
- a layer of foam saturated with a heat absorbing material, wherein the layer is completely encapsulated with a liquid impermeable and flexible material.
A process of manufacturing a mattress assembly comprising:
- providing a layer of foam and/or fibers;
- encapsulating the layer with a liquid impermeable and flexible material including at least one opening;
- saturating the layer by injecting a liquid or liquified heat absorbing material through the at least one opening;
- sealing the at least one opening to form an encapsulated panel including the heat absorbing material;
- and
- placing the encapsulated panel within the mattress assembly at a location proximate to a sleeping surface.

A process of manufacturing a mattress assembly comprising:
- providing a layer of foam and/or fibers;
- saturating the layer of foam and/or fibers with a liquified heat absorbing material;
- cooling the saturated layer of foam and/or fibers to change a phase of the liquified heat absorbing material to a solid;
- sandwiching the saturated layer of foam and/or fibers between first and second layers of a flexible film;
- sealing edges of the first and second layers for the flexible film to form an encapsulated panel including the layer of the saturated layer of fibers and/or foam;
- and
- placing the encapsulated panel within the mattress assembly at a location proximate to a sleeping surface.
