Publication number: 20210315390Abstract: A spring core is provided that includes a plurality of coil springs having an upper portion and a lower portion that collectively define an interior cavity. The spring core further includes a continuous upper fabric layer that covers each coil spring and defines a recess in the interior cavity of each coil spring. A cushioning layer is positioned atop the continuous upper fabric layer and extends into the recess in the interior cavity of each coil spring. A mattress assembly is further provided that includes the spring core, an upper body supporting layer, and a lower foundation layer. Methods of producing a spring core are further provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2021Publication date: October 14, 2021Applicant: Sealy Technology, LLCInventors: Darin T. Thomas, Stephen Wallace, Christina Pollock

Patent number: 10986935Abstract: A pocketed spring, such as that used in a mattress, comprises: a compression spring having an upper end convolution and a lower end convolution opposite the upper end convolution, and a plurality of helical intermediate convolutions between the upper end convolution and the lower end convolution; a flexible enclosure including a top wall positioned adjacent to the upper end convolution of the compression spring, a bottom wall positioned adjacent to the lower end convolution of the compression spring, and a side wall that extends from the top wall to the bottom wall; and a tension member connected to the flexible enclosure. The tension member acts in opposition to the compression spring until the pocketed spring is compressed to a point at which the tension member no longer applies any force. Thus, the pocketed spring exhibits a non-linear response when compressed.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2020Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Sealy Technology, LLCInventors: Darin T. Thomas, Brian M. Manuszak, Larry K. DeMoss, Christina Pollock, Wesley D. Ballew, Christopher J. Kennedy, Abed Khaskia
