  • Patent number: 12611047
    Abstract: A mattress according to the invention is formed from a plurality of layers stacked in a thickness direction thereof, and includes a tactile layer that is positioned on an upper side in use, and a cushion layer that is positioned on a lower side in use. The tactile layer and the cushion layer each contain an elastic body constituted of a filament three-dimensional assembly. The elastic body contained in the cushion layer has a larger resiliency than that of the elastic body contained in the tactile layer, and is 100 N or more and 200 N or less. The elastic body contained in the tactile layer has a resiliency of 10 N or more and 80 N or less. The tactile layer shows a constant sinking displacement regardless of load.
