  • Patent number: 10610028
    Abstract: A mattress includes a top face, a bottom face, a pair of opposing sides defining a mattress width there between, a first microcoil support foam layer and a second microcoil support foam layer. The first microcoil support foam layer includes a plurality of first pockets and a plurality of first protrusions, and the second microcoil support foam layer includes a plurality of second pockets and a plurality of second protrusions. A plurality of separate microcoil cells are formed as lines of microcoils having a width of a single microcoil and a length containing sufficient number of microcoils such that the line of microcoils spans the mattress width. Each one of the microcoil cells is disposed between a given second protrusion and first pocket or a given first protrusion and second pocket.

  • Patent number: 10321774
    Abstract: A mattress sheet includes a top sheet portion having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a pair of opposing sides defining a mattress sheet width there between, a first end sheet split extending into the top sheet portion from the first end to define first end sheet split edges and two separate first end sections and a second end sheet split extending into the top sheet portion from the second end to define second end sheet split edges and two separate second end sections. A fabric border has a top edge running along the first end, the first end sheet split edges, the opposing sides, the second end and the second end sheet split edges and a bottom edge opposite the top edge. A fabric extension extends from the fabric border a distance less than about the mattress sheet width.
