A foldable bed is movable between an unfolded position, in which interconnected seat, cavity, and body sections are substantially horizontally aligned and of substantially uniform depth, and a folded position, in which the body section is horizontally disposed, the seat section is horizontally disposed and overlies said body section, the cavity section is generally upright and extends between the body and seat sections. In the folded position, the seat section of the mattress is collapsible, and the cavity section of the mattress is noncollapsible. The bed frame can include a leg that is spaced away from the frame in the folded position that compresses a mattress head section, thereby forming a space within which collapsible springs of the seat section can reside. The bed can include springs having upper, intermediate, and lower runs, wherein the upper and lower runs include offset portions extending in opposite directions that are generally orthogonal to a plane defined by the spring intermediate run. The bed can also include grid wires to which such springs are interconnected that have rotation-limiting means that interact with the offset portions of the spring. |

A multipurpose, multisectional mat for a child's use in resting, sitting, lying, reading and like activities comprising multiple articulated sections interconnected to form a mat which when flat provides a continuous resting surface formed by edge-to-edge abutting sections to accommodate a recumbent child and which when folded with the sections abutted face-to-face will provide a child's seat or table, each section comprising a generally rectangular soft cushion pad of substantial thickness and resilience and a fabric cover covering the pad, the fabric being locally continued beyond the pads alternately high and low and joined there as a hinge between adjacent pads for edge-to-edge or face-to-face orientation. |

The problem of a split between two mattresses is eliminated by giving each person on a king-sized bed the capability for adjusting the head and/or foot portion of the mattress to any position, without disturbing the bed partner. A serpentine "S" design is provided to separate the head and foot portions of a single mattress at a distance extending over approximately two feet from the headboard toward the foot of the bed and extending over approximately two feet from the foot of the bed toward the headboard. There is approximately three to four feet of the mattress in a central portion without any separation where most of the body's weight is concentrated and which provides support and comfort for two people in a single king-sized mattress having adjustable head and foot portions. |

A clip for use in a hinged border wire assembly, such as a border wire assembly used in a mattress, joins border wire portions together in a manner that permits one border wire section to rotate with respect to the other. This permits folding of a large border wire of the type that would be used on a king-size mattress, for example, in order to pass the mattress through small areas such as doors and stairways. The disclosed embodiment has two border wire sections which are generally U-shaped and which abut along portions formed at the ends of each U. The clip has a pair of adjacent sleeves within which respective abutting border wire portions are received. A barb is formed inwardly of a sleeve to secure the barbed sleeve in place on its border wire portion while allowing the other abutting portion to rotate within its sleeve in hinged fashion. |

A convertible bedding assembly and mattress in which a foldable frame assembly is operatively attached to a sofa or chair portion for movement between an expanded position and a folded position. A first mattress is disposed on the frame assembly and a second mattress extends over the first mattress in at least said expanded position, with the width of the second mattress exceeding the width of the first mattress and being at least equal to the width of the frame assembly. The second mattress is a composite assembly including a pair of overlying flexible resilient pads and a wire layer sandwiched between the pads. A strip of rigid material extends along the edge portions of the wire layer, and the latter edge portions are wrapped around the strips and secured thereto. |

A wire spring assembly adaptable for use in a mattress for a sleeper sofa or roll-away bed in which individual wire spring units are secured to each other and arranged in rows that extend transversely of the assembly. Each spring unit has a pair of end portions, a plurality of torsion bars and one or more connecting bars extending between the torsion bars. The end portions are adaptable to be attached to the corresponding end portions of adjacent spring units in the same row. The assembly further includes a plurality of flexible wire members extending longitudinally of the assembly substantially the length thereof, which are secured to the end portions of some of the spring units to position the rows while allowing the mattress to be folded. |

A cushion member of uniform thickness having a rectangular shape in plan view, with a center line of the cushion member dividing same into two plan view square portions. The cushion member is segmented into four isosceles right triangular sections arranged such that the two sections bounding the center line coextensively abut along their corresponding legs and the two sections in each square portion coextensively abut one another along their hypotenuses, with the respective lines of abutment of the sections in the square portions intersecting at right angles. The segments are hingedly joined together. On one rectangular face of the cushion member the two sections bounding the center line are hingedly joined in the plane of the one rectangular face. On the other rectangular face, the two sections in each square portion are hingedly joined in the plane of the other rectangular face. Such construction permits the segmented cushion member to be pivotally folded at its hinged joints and thereby to assume multiple furniture configurations. |
