A removable panel for use with a mattress, comprising
- at least one layer having length and width dimensions sufficient to support a reclining body of the user;
- a mechanical fastener component disposed at about a perimeter edge of a bottom facing surface of the at least one layer, wherein the mechanical fastener is configured to provide releasable engagement to an underlying mattress body;
- and
- a layer of a fire resistant material having one end attached about the perimeter edge and a free end extending inwardly from the perimeter edge and on the bottom facing surface and when in use positioned to be intermediate the underlying mattress body and the bottom facing surface such that the layer of fire resistant material is not visible when the mechanical fastener is fastened to the underlying mattress body.
A mattress assembly including a removable top panel and a mattress body, the mattress assembly comprising:
- a top panel comprising at least one layer having length and width dimensions sufficient to support a reclining body of the user, a first mechanical fastener component disposed at about a perimeter edge of a bottom facing surface of the at least one layer;
- a layer of a fire resistant material having one end attached about the perimeter edge and a free end extending inwardly from the perimeter edge and positioned interiorly relative to the first mechanical fastener component;
- and
- a mattress body comprising a compressible core, and a second mechanical fastener component attached to a perimeter edge of an upper surface and configured for engagement and disengagement with the first mechanical fastener component, wherein the layer of fire resistant material is not visible when the first mechanical fastener is in engagement with the first mechanical fastener component.
