  • Patent number: 11033115
    Abstract: A posturized comfort layer for a bedding or seating product has different sections of different firmness due to different pocketed mini coil springs within the sections. The springs may be individually pocketed between two sheets of non-woven polypropylene fabric joined with circular or rectangular weld seams. Regardless of the shape of the weld seams, the different firmness of the different sections of the comfort layer may be due to different mini coil springs contained in the pockets. In some embodiments, all pockets may have the same spring and the springs contained in different size weld seams to create pockets of different heights.
