Abstract: A nonwoven fiber product comprising a first nonwoven fiber batt, a second nonwoven fiber batt, and a separator layer attached to each of the first fiber batt and the second fiber batt, the separator layer physically separating the first fiber batt and the second fiber batt, wherein upon application of a tensile force to the nonwoven fiber product, the first fiber batt remains attached to the separator layer and the second fiber batt separates from the separator layer. An article of furniture may incorporate the nonwoven fiber product, and/or a method for manufacturing an article of furniture may utilize the nonwoven fiber product. The nonwoven fiber product may also be utilized on an article of furniture require two different thicknesses of cushioning material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi density fiber seat back for furniture seating systems. The multi density fiber seat back comprises an inner core of a firmer fiber batt and outer fiber batts which are relatively soft. One of the outer softer fiber batts is positioned against the front of the seat back frame and the other outer fiber batt is toward the seating area of the furniture seating system. The outer softer fiber back proximate the seating area imparts a oft plush feel to the touch. The firmer fiber batt core provides back support to one seated on the furniture and ease in raising oneself up from a seated position, as well are providing vertical stability to the multi density fiber back. The outer softer fiber batt proximate the front of the seat back frame provides a sense of reclining as it is compressed.

Abstract: A seat cushion or other resilient structure includes a foam inner core combined with layers of varying density fiber batts to impart desirable comfort characteristics, support features and durability thereto. In one embodiment, the foam core is positioned between intermediate layers of low loft fiber batts of relatively high densities. In turn, the intermediate batts are sandwiched between outer high loft fiber batts having relatively low densities. Alternately, the foam core comprises one or more intermediate layers of relatively high density fiber batts that are positioned within the foam core to create one or more fiber batt subcores. The outer high loft fiber batts sandwich the foam core comprising the fiber batt subcores to create the resilient structure.
