The first coil panel is formed of a plurality of coil springs, an upper fabric layer, and a lower fabric layer, with the upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer joined between the plurality of coil springs and along peripheral edges of the first coil panel. The second coil panel is formed of a second plurality of coil springs, a second upper fabric layer, and a second lower fabric layer, with the second upper fabric layer and the second lower fabric layer joined between the plurality of coil springs and along peripheral edges of the second coil panel. A support material disposed in the gap of the inner shell, and one or more additional layers disposed about the inner shell.

Abstract: A hybrid pillow includes a cushion material defining a recess. A coil panel is positioned within the recess of the cushion material with the coil panel formed of a plurality of coil springs, an upper fabric layer, and a lower fabric layer. The upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer are joined between the plurality of coil springs and along peripheral edges of the first coil panel. A gel layer is also positioned within the recess of the cushion material and over the coil panel. A method of manufacturing the pillow includes dispensing a liquid gel in a mold, positioning a coil panel in the mold and on top of the liquid gel, dispensing a foam precursor in the mold, and foaming the foam precursor to form a cushion material that is secured to the coil panel.

Abstract: A reversible or hybrid mattress topper includes a first foam plate having a first density, a second foam plate having a second density different than the first density of the first foam plate, and a spring panel that is disposed between the first foam plate and the second foam plate. The spring panel includes a plurality of coil springs positioned between an upper fabric layer and a lower fabric layer, with the upper and lower fabric layers joined together. An insulating layer extends along an outside surface of each of the first foam plate and the second foam plate.

Abstract: A reverse coil head coil and innerspring has a generally cylindrical and helical wire form coil body and opposing coil ends which terminate on opposite sides of a reference plane that passes through the coil body. The reverse coil head coils are interconnected in a matrix to form an innerspring wherein only one terminal end of each coil is located at a perimeter of the innerspring. Variations in the number and pitch of helical turns of the coil body are also disclosed.

Abstract: Innersprings with alternating coil spring orientations have columns of interconnected coils in which the axial orientation of the coils alternates one hundred and eighty degrees column to column.

Abstract: Innerspring dampening foam inserts are disclosed in various combinations with mattress innersprings having a plurality of helical form coils interconnected in an array in which the coils are generally aligned in rows and columns, each of the coils having a generally cylindrical coil body formed by helical turns of wire with openings between each of the helical turns of wire, and first and second ends to the coil body also formed by the wire, each of the coil bodies being spaced apart in the array. At least one innerspring insert is inserted into an innerspring in spaces or channels between the spaced apart coils. The innerspring dampening inserts, which are preferably made of foam, may have a generally H-shaped configuration with upper and lower parallel lateral members and a transverse member that extends between and bisects the upper and lower lateral members.

Abstract: Reinforced mattresses have a mattress core and one or more reinforcement pads located proximate to the mattress core, and corresponding higher density stitch patterns in a quilt package layer which are co-located with the reinforcement pads. The one or more reinforcement pads are located in higher load areas of the mattress such as the pelvic region or head and shoulders region to provide additional support and to resist or prevent permanent indentation of the mattress support surface and provide increased support. In one embodiment, the one or more reinforcement pads have a length that is less than the length of the mattress core and a width that is substantially the width of the mattress core, with corresponding areas in the quilt package layer of higher density stitching.

Abstract: Variable coil density anisotropic innersprings in which the placement and density of the coils or spring units varies between one or more regions or areas of the innerspring to provide innersprings with different average spring rates in different zones or regions of the innerspring. Various anisotropic arrangements of coils in innersprings are disclosed.

Abstract: Innerspring coils for innersprings for mattresses and other reflexive support structures, have generally helical coil bodies and at least one non-helical segment or step which extends between one or both axial ends of the coil body and one or both of the coil ends. The step or steps may be linear or non-linear, and parallel to or angularly disposed with respect to a longitudinal axis of the coil body. When located proximate to a coil end, the step extends out of the plane in which the coil end lies. One or more steps may alternatively be formed intermediate to helical turns of the helical coil body.
