Abstract: Compressible mattress assemblies for bed in a box applications generally include a first foam layer and a second foam layer, wherein the first foam layer has a thickness less than the second foam layer and has a property and/or a foam material that is different from the second foam layer. In other embodiments, the compressible mattress assemblies consist of a pocketed microcoil array intermediate the first and second polymeric foam layers.

Abstract: Active comfort controlled bedding systems include a variable firmness control and/or variable climate control. The active comfort controlled bedding systems generally include a plurality of air bladders, each one of the plurality of air bladders includes a pressure sensor configured to measure pressure within a respective air bladder. A control unit configured to selectively operate a pump and valves to sequentially adjust a pressure in two or more of the plurality of air bladders having an applied load of an end user thereon to provide a repeating pattern within the two or more plurality of air bladders, wherein the repeating pattern is defined by a pressure increase and subsequent decrease in a selected one of the plurality of air bladders followed a pressure increase and subsequent decrease in a selected other one of the plurality of air bladders to provide a massaging action.

Abstract: Methods and systems for asset tagging bedding components and accessories in a sleep environment or manufacturing environment.

Abstract: Mattress toppers for mattress assemblies and pillowtop mattress assemblies generally includes a convoluted foam layer including a convoluted upper surface and a bottom planar surface. The convoluted foam layer includes a convoluted upper surface and a bottom planar surface. The convoluted upper surface comprising repeating geometric depressions defined by an outer geometric-shaped outer wall and a concentric shaped inner wall. The geometric depression can be defined by a geometric outer wall, e.g., hexagonally shaped, and a concentric inner wall, e.g., circular shaped.

Abstract: A sleep concierge system is provided and includes a bedding assembly configured to assume multiple configurations with multiple settings and a computing device. The computing device is configured to communicate with the bedding assembly and to control the bedding assembly to assume a selected configuration with selected settings in in accordance with user inputs in response to a predefined event.

Abstract: Antiviral-treated fabric layers for mattress assemblies includes a silver halide and liposome carrier. Additionally, the envelope encapsulating a cushioning material can include an antiviral-treated fabric. The antiviral-treated fabric can include silver halide and a liposome carrier, wherein the liposome carrier is a vesicle.

Abstract: A side rail assembly and a mattress assembly including the side rail assembly about at least a portion of a perimeter of the mattress assembly. The side rail assembly includes a laminate structure including one or more foam layers and one or more fiber layers in a stacked arrangement. The fiber layer can be a non-woven layer.

Abstract: Compressible mattress assemblies for bed in a box applications consist of a first polymeric foam layer and a second polymeric foam layer, wherein the first polymeric foam layer has a thickness less than the second polymeric foam layer and has a property and/or a foam material that is different from the second polymeric foam layer. In other embodiments, the compressible mattress assemblies consist of a pocketed microcoil array intermediate the first and second polymeric foam layers.

Abstract: Mattress assemblies that provide user comfort and increased airflow generally include a viscoelastic thermally conductive infused polyurethane foam top layer; a composite comprising a bottom layer, a molded viscoelastic middle foam layer, and a perforated top viscoelastic foam layer, wherein the molded viscoelastic middle foam layer comprises a plurality of interconnected substantially parallelpipedal bodies, wherein each parallelpipedal body includes an opening extending from a bottom surface to a top surface and is separated from an adjacent parallelpipedal body by a V-shaped notch, and wherein the perforated top viscoelastic foam layer comprises a plurality of perforations extending from a bottom surface to a top surface thereof, wherein at least a portion of the perforations overlies the opening in the parallelpipedal bodies; and a base core layer, wherein the composite overlies the base core layer.

Abstract: A mattress or a mattress pad with one or more gel sections. The gel section may provide improved support and comfort at a localized area of a mattress or a mattress pad.

Abstract: Mattresses and improved fabric covers for providing mattresses that have smooth surfaces. Additionally, methods for manufacturing non-quilted mattress covers and for manufacturing mattresses employing non-quilted mattress covers. The systems and methods described herein include mattress panels that can be manufactured separate from the inner core construction, and laid over the inner core to be fastened in place as a sleeping surface for the mattress. Optionally, these mattress panels can include a layer of fire retardant material, that may be added as a layer of material or that may be incorporated into one or more of the layers, such as a filler layer, in the mattress panel.
