Upholstered body

An upholstered body, especially mattress, which includes:

• a spring core comprising a plurality of rows of helical springs arranged in an axis-parallel manner with regard to each other, at least one cover plate means of elastic foamed material arranged in spaced axial relationship to and at least at one end of said springs while covering up the respective adjacent ends of all of said springs and projecting laterally and longitudinally beyond said spring core, marginal body means arranged on at least two oppositely located sides of said upholstered body, intermediate layer means interposed between said cover plate means and said springs, bend-elastic barshaped stiffening means arranged on and connected to said marginal body means and having said intermediate layer means connected thereto, corner sections located near said marginal body means, said marginal body means within the region of said corner sections respectively having extensions merging with the inner lateral surfaces of said corner sections forming portions of said marginal body means, and forming lateral surfaces opposite the respective adjacent cover plate means for engagement with end windings of those of said springs which are located at said corner sections.
