  • Publication number: 20180103772
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an anti-sagging unit comprising the first anti-sagging unit and the second anti-sagging unit for restoring the sag of the furnishing item, wherein the first anti-sagging unit is placed on the base support and the second anti-sagging unit is place on the first anti-sagging unit & under the area of the sag on the furnishing unit. Since, the length of the second anti-sagging unit is longer than the length of the first anti-sagging unit hence it prevents the first anti-sagging unit to form lumps in the furnishing item even after its prolong use and thus provide comfort to the user & also restores the sag from the furnishing item.

  • Patent number: 9661935
    Abstract: Steps for using an insert to restore sagging sofa cushions are provided. Over time, the cushion develops a depression on a sitting surface of a deformable member and an elevation on a base surface of the deformable member. The cushion also suffers from reduced elasticity in the deformable member. Positioning the insert between a cushion casing and deformable member of the cushion allows for sagging areas of the cushion to be fixed. The cushion restoring insert thus addresses both aforementioned issues. An elongated elastic member with similar elasticity to the original cushion provides a like-new level of elasticity for the cushion. The cushion restoring insert also increases volume within the cushion casing, causing tension in combination with the cushion casing. This tension counteracts the depression and elevation, helping to return the cushion to a like new state.
