  • Publication number: 20230165383
    Abstract: Compressible mattress assembly packages and processes for packaging a compressible mattress assembly for a bed in a box application generally include the addition of a humidifying agent within the package. The humidifying agent provides moisture within the package, which allows the compressed mattress to effectively recover to its uncompressed state when unpackaged with minimal or no defects.

  • Patent number: 11266352
    Abstract: Mattress assemblies and pillows are provided that include a flexible biosensor array provided on a layer of the mattress assembly for sensing an electrical conductivity associated with sweat emitted from an end user of the mattress assembly and producing an ionic concentration of at least one electrolyte; and a processor connected to the flexible biosensor array for interpreting the ionic concentration of the at least one electrolyte. Also disclosed are processes for monitoring and analyzing sweat from an end user of the mattress assemblies and pillows.

  • Publication number: 20190053631
    Abstract: A pre-conditioned three dimensionally polymeric fiber matrix layer for use in a bedding product such as a mattress is disclosed. The pre-conditioned three dimensionally polymeric fiber matrix layer generally includes an extruded three dimensional polymeric fibrous layer and a foam material, e.g., polyurethane, latex or the like, disposed within the fibrous layer and occupying at least a portion of the free volume in the layer, wherein a portion of the coupling points and the randomly oriented polymer fibers are broken so as to change a mechanical property of the pre-conditioned three dimensionally polymeric fiber matrix layer relative to the three dimensionally polymeric fiber matrix layer without pre-conditioning.

  • Publication number: 20190053634
    Abstract: A layer for a bedding product such as a mattress includes an extruded three dimensional polymeric fiber matrix layer having constant length, width and height dimensions, the extruded three dimensional polymeric fiber matrix layer comprising randomly oriented fibers bonded at coupling points between adjacent fibers and having a free volume per unit area of the layer, wherein the fibers comprise a polymer and a phase change material.

  • Publication number: 20190053630
    Abstract: A three dimensional polymeric fiber matrix layer for use in a bedding product such as a mattress is disclosed. The three dimensional polymeric fiber matrix layer generally includes a plurality of randomly oriented polylactide (PLA) fibers bonded at coupling points between adjacent PLA fibers and having a free volume per unit area of the layer.

  • Publication number: 20190053632
    Abstract: A three dimensional polymeric fiber matrix layer including a phase change material coated thereon for use in a bedding product such as a mattress is disclosed. The phase change material is selected to provide improved cooling properties, which along with the free volume provided by the three dimensional polymeric fiber matrix markedly improves temperature management when used in a bedding product.
