US 2026/0070307 A1 · MATTRESSES, CUSHIONS, AND BODY-SUPPORT PADS OR MATS WITH DEFORMABLE WALLS HAVING FIBER STRANDS EMBEDDED THEREIN

Abstract

Mattresses, cushions, and body-support mats or pads include a plurality of layers extending in a depth direction from a resting surface, where the resting surface is capable of supporting user(s), to a lower surface, the lower surface being opposite the resting surface. The plurality of layers include a comfort layer that forms an upper layer proximate to the resting surface, where the comfort layer includes deformable walls separated by voids and the deformable walls include a plurality of fiber strands embedded in a cushioning media.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method for manufacturing a mattress, the method comprising:

forming at least one mattress layer comprising deformable walls separated by voids, the deformable walls defined by a cushioning media and a plurality of polymeric fiber strands embedded throughout a volume of the cushioning media;
and
adjusting a concentration of the polymeric fiber strands such that the concentration of polymeric fiber strands is greater in an upper portion of each deformable wall than in a lower portion of each deformable wall to form a gradient of said polymeric fiber strands across a thickness of the deformable walls.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
