Abstract: An innerspring mattress construction is provided which includes a laminated liquid or moisture barrier layer which itself provides improved attachment properties. Also provided is a water mattress construction having improved resistance to leakage. Also provided is an improved pocketed coil construction which is resistant to moisture.

Abstract: Bedding configurations are disclosed having supporting surfaces the firmness of which may be selectively adjustable by remote control means, providing for a supporting surface which may be quickly and easily adjusted by a user for maximum comfort. Various air chambers, cylinders, and tubes are disclosed for use in the central or "lumbar" portions of the mattresses of such bedding configurations, which may be selectively inflated or deflated in order to provide corresponding firmness levels. In a preferred embodiment a body support is comprised of an array of barrel-shaped coils that define elongate gaps at their top and bottom portions, with an elongate, inflatable tube positioned at least in the gaps defined in the top portion of the body support.

Abstract: A mattress or cushion spring assembly includes aligned rows of coil springs connected together within each row and between rows and additional reinforcing springs which are interspersed around the periphery of the spring assembly and are held in place by border helicals or other means.

Abstract: A foundation in the nature of a bedspring for use beneath a mattress to support the same upon a bedframe or the like, having a base frame with wire columns thereon supporting a stable, elevated platform which is substantially unyielding in its central area under the loads normally imposed upon a bedspring and which, at least in its side edge areas, is resiliently yieldable in response to vertical load.

Abstract: A foundation in the nature of a bedspring for use beneath a mattress to support the same upon a bedframe or the like, having a peripheral base frame for supporting the foundation and having structure rising from the peripheral frame inwardly thereof to provide a stable, elevated platform which is substantially unyielding in its central area under the normal loads imposed upon a bedspring, and which, at least in its side edge areas, is resiliently yieldable in response to vertical load.
