A mattress core is defined by a base core to which is bonded upper and lower corrugated outer layers each having oppositely directed corrugations, and side rails bonded to at least sides of the base core. The side rails have a height corresponding to the distance between valleys of opposite corrugated outer layers. The mattress core and mattress have an ILD range of substantially 26 ILD to 50 ILD for the side rails, 24 to 40 ILD for the base core and 12 to 45 ILD for each of the corrugated outer layers. The base core and the outer layers also collectively define a torso firmness zone and opposite head and foot firmness zones with the torso firmness zone being substantially between 20% to 30% more dense than the head and foot firmness zones. Ends of the mattress core and mattress are devoid of end rails.
A mattress core comprising a substantially polygonal latex foam base core having opposite substantially parallel end surfaces and opposite substantially parallel side surfaces collectively defining a polygonal peripheral surface, first and second substantially polygonal latex foam outer layers each having opposite substantially parallel end surfaces and opposite substantially parallel side surfaces collectively defining a substantially polygonal peripheral surface of each outer layer which substantially match the base core polygonal peripheral surface, said base core having opposite substantially flat surfaces and said outer layers each having a substantially flat surface and an opposite substantially convoluted surface defined by peaks and valleys, means for bonding first and second of said outer layers substantially flat surfaces to respective first and second ones of said base core substantially flat surfaces with said polygonal peripheral surfaces being in substantially peripherally aligned relationship, a polyurethane foam side rail located one along each base core and layer side surfaces and each extending substantially between said base core end surfaces, means for bonding said side rails each to at least one of said base core and outer layers side surfaces, each side rail having a height corresponding substantially to the distance between valleys of convolutions of the opposite outer layers, and said base core and outer layers end surfaces defining terminal end surfaces of the mattress.
