Abstract
A mattress with two bands running across its faces to increase firmness and body weight distribution. These bands are composed of panels of a highly resilient material fastened to panels of non-resilient material. The resilient panels are positioned where the greatest load concentrations are likely to be when the mattress is in use. The resilient panels are oriented to stretch in a direction parallel to the major dimension of the band and, as they are stretched, increase in tension in proportion to the load. The greater the load, the greater the tension on the resilient panels and the firmer the mattress becomes in response to the load.
Claims20
A mattress, comprising:
- a spring assembly having a face;
- a band attached to said spring assembly and running across said face over a portion of said spring assembly, said band being made of a resilient material, wherein said band is formed to have two layers;
- and
- a pallet laying over said spring assembly and said band, said pallet being attached to said spring assembly.
A mattress, comprising:
- a spring assembly having a face;
- at least one band attached to said spring assembly and running across said face over a portion of said spring assembly, said at least one band having at least one resilient panel and at least one non-resilient panel;
- and
- a pallet laying over said spring assembly and said band, said pallet being attached to said spring assembly.
A mattress, comprising:
- a spring assembly having a face;
- two bands attached to said spring assembly and running across said face over a portion of said spring assembly, said two bands being made of panels of a resilient material sewn to panels of a non-resilient material so that said resilient panels are located where said spring assembly is expected to bear the greatest loads;
- and
- a pallet laying over said spring assembly and said band, said pallet being attached to said spring assembly.
