Abstract: Mattresses and improved fabric covers for providing mattresses that have smooth surfaces. Additionally, methods for manufacturing non-quilted mattress covers and for manufacturing mattresses employing non-quilted mattress covers. The systems and methods described herein include mattress panels that can be manufactured separate from the inner core construction, and laid over the inner core to be fastened in place as a sleeping surface for the mattress. Optionally, these mattress panels can include a layer of fire retardant material, that may be added as a layer of material or that may be incorporated into one or more of the layers, such as a filler layer, in the mattress panel.

Abstract: Mattress assemblies include a hybrid posture support system that provide an end user with improved posture support during use, among other advantages. The hybrid posture support system includes a top foam layer including first and second foam portions that are spaced apart and generally correspond to a head/shoulder region and a foot region, respectively, a pocketed microcoil array underlying the top foam layer that is intermediate the first and second foam portions; and an underlying foam layer. The hybrid posture support system can be used in any mattress assembly including mattresses having a coil spring innercore or a foam innercore.

Abstract: Temperature management bedding systems for mattresses and quilt panels generally include a trilayer of active components including a phase change material applied to a top surface of a flexible substrate thereof, a fire retardant layer underlying the flexible substrate including hydrophilic rayon fibers treated with ammonium polyphosphate; and a vertically oriented fiber batting layer underlying the first retardant layer including an elastomeric binder. The temperature management bedding systems provide heat control and mass transfer of moisture from the bedding surface.
