Abstract
An interlocking mattress which is able to be compressed and shipped without significant separation, and which is easy to manufacture and assemble, has a foam comfort layer having a multiplicity of parallel grooves or a multiplicity of parallel stable extensions on a lower mating surface which mate with corresponding parallel stable extensions or parallel grooves on a mattress component adjoining the comfort layer. The interlocking mattress may also contain one or more intermediate layers, and is preferably assembled without the use of any adhesive between the comfort layer and the adjoining layer.
