  • Publication number: 20140068868
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a bed linen that is a unified and reversible mattress topper cover and bed cover. A mattress topper cover includes a first sleep surface defining a first peripheral edge, a second sleep surface defining a second peripheral edge, and a gusset extending between the first sleep surface and the second sleep surface along their respective first and second peripheral edges to define a cavity therebetween for receiving a mattress topper. A bed cover includes a skirt affixed at and along substantially the horizontal midline of the gusset for securing to a mattress. The bed linen is reversible by flipping the mattress topper to expose one of the first sleep surface or the second sleep surface and adjusting the skirt in an appropriate direction to cover the mattress.

  • Publication number: 20140053341
    Abstract: A foam fiber product may be used for the manufacture of various bedding products, such as mattresses, pillows, mattress toppers, seat cushions, and the like. The foam fiber product includes foam particles dispersed with fiber strands. The pleats provide extra support and durability to the structure of the foam fiber product. The product may be made by a process that includes mixing foam particles with fiber strands, processing the mixture into a layer using processes such as garnetting and carding, using a vertical lapping process to form pleats in the layer, and heating the structure to secure the pleats together to provide a pleated foam fiber structure.

  • Publication number: 20120193572
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a cooling cushion or bedding product and methods of making the same. In some embodiments, the cooling cushion or bedding product comprises a microencapsulated phase change material having a melting point in the range from about ?30° C. to about 55° C. and a foam. In some embodiments, the microencapsulated phase change material is uniformly dispersed within the foam. Embodiments herein also describe a method of making a cooling cushion or bedding product comprising dispersing a microencapsulated phase change material into a polyol to create a polyol-PCM blend and adding an isocyanate to the polyol-PCM blend. Some embodiments describe a method of making a cooling cushion or bedding product comprising pouring polyol, microencapsulated phase change material having a melting point in the range from about ?30° C. to about 55° C. and isocyanate together to form a foaming reaction.

  • Publication number: 20120060846
    Abstract: A pillow is provided that is effective in reducing and/or eliminating a user's snoring proclivity. The disclosed pillow also contributes to better sleeping outcomes, e.g., by increasing air flow into the lungs relative to conventional pillows. The pillow features a contoured upper surface that defines a head-receiving region that is bounded by raised crests of differing elevations. The pillow may be fabricated from foam materials that provide desirable levels of deformation and resilience.

  • Publication number: 20100174006
    Abstract: A polyurethane foam produced from a formulation comprising a polyol, an isocyanate, a strut reinforcing agent and a VOC reducing agent. The isocyanate reacts with the polyol to produce the polyurethane foam. By including the strut reinforcing and VOC adsorption agents in the formulation during the reaction between the isocyanate and the polyol, the air permeability and firmness of the polyurethane foam are enhanced while the amount of VOCs within and the level of VOCs emitted by the polyurethane foam are reduced relative to a polyurethane foam produced by reacting the isocyanate and the polyol in the absence of the strut reinforcing or VOC reducing agents.

  • Patent number: 7700661
    Abstract: A polyurethane foam created from a formulation comprising from about 1 percent to about 70 percent of a vegetable oil polyol is disclosed. The polyurethane foam is made from a formulation comprising an isocyanate, a surfactant, and a polyol blend comprising a vegetable oil polyol. Also disclosed is a polyurethane foam made from a formulation comprising a polyol blend comprising a petrochemical polyol and a vegetable oil polyol, and an isocyanate blend comprising a 2, 4 toluene diisocyanate (TDI) isomer and a 2, 6 TDI isomer, wherein the ratio of petrochemical polyol to vegetable oil polyol in the polyol blend is about equal to the ratio of the 2, 4 TDI isomer to the 2, 6 TDI isomer in the isocyanate blend.

  • Publication number: 20080256716
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate generally to the manufacture and assembly of mattresses, and comprise an interlocking system used to join foam support rails together to form a support frame about the perimeter of a mattress cover and/or a banding system for securing the support frame in place with respect to the mattress cover. The interlocking system generally comprises interlocking mechanical coupling portions at the ends of each support rail, allowing the ends of the support rails to be joined together to form a support frame without hard corner blocks that might reduce mattress comfort. The banding system comprises banding flaps that enwrap the support rails and attach them to the mattress cover. This allows for improved structural integrity during the assembly process, since the support frame is securely held in place.
