A cover for reducing volatile organic compound emissions from a foam pad includes upper, lower and side panels, wherein the side panel has an integrated air filter and conductive snap attachment. The panels are installed on and removed from a foam pad via attachable seams between the upper panel and side panel, and the side panel and lower panel. The upper panel, lower panel, and attachable seams are air-tight, forcing air laden with chemical gases through the air filter providing cleaner air in the sleeping environment. |

A method and structure for furnishing pressure-evenized, dynamic-reaction anatomical support. The method includes (a) supporting the anatomy with a 100% open cell viscoelastic foam, and (b) within the foam, reacting to both static and dynamic, anatomically-produced foam indentations to expand and contract cell-openness size, whereby deeper/sharper indentations result in greater-size cell-openness. Such reacting includes laterally stretching and flowing regions of the foam adjacent such an indentation The overlay structure features (1) a dynamic-response core expanse formed of a 100% open-cell, compressible and flowable, polyurethane, viscoelastic foam possessing a compressed, relaxed-state volume, and (2) an elastomeric, moisture- and gas-flow-managing coating, load-transmissively, bonded to the entirety of the core expanse's outside surface to function as a dynamically-responsive unit with the expanse. The coating possesses a relaxed-state, prestressed tension condition which is responsible for the expanse's compressed condition. |

The securing layer such as a fitted sheet is modified to provide one half of a fastener, such as a zipper, and a separable, absorbent panel as adapted to overlay the top surface of a mattress and to underlay and be in direct contact of the occupant on the mattress. The separable, absorbent panel includes another fastener portion, such as the other side of a zipper, so as to secure the absorbent panel to the securing layer. The first and second fastener portions are to be located on the side surface of the mattress at the top, outer circumference of the mattress when the securing layer is applied to the mattress. In this manner, the fastener cannot be easily accessed by an infant so as to prevent the infant from loosening and becoming entangled in the absorbent panel. However, the absorbent panel is easily removed for quick changes in case the occupant of the mattress such as a baby, soils the absorbent panel. |

A leisure lounger includes a rack, a upper mattress and a lower mattress. The lower and upper mattresses straddle the top of the rack in a horizontal manner. The rack has a horizontal pivotal bar running through two lugs on the left side and right side of the bottom of the upper mattress. A lifting unit is provided that has an extensible strut on the top. The extensible strut has a top portion hinged on a yoke located on the bottom of the upper mattress close to the juncture of the upper and lower mattresses. The extensible strut can be retracted to move the upper mattress in a reclined manner, and the lower mattress adjacent to the upper mattress sinks in an inclined manner at a selected angle. Therefore a user can sit on the lower mattress in a reclined manner with the hip retained without slipping forwards. |

A removable mattress cover assembly includes a removable mattress cover that attaches to an upright wall assembly. The upright wall assembly includes an upright wall that attaches to a top of a mattress base and one or more wall fasteners attached at or near the top of the upright wall. The removable mattress cover includes cover fasteners that mate with respective wall fasteners to attach the cover to the upright wall. When the cover fasteners are attached to the wall fasteners, the removable mattress cover lays over the top of the mattress base, and the upright wall is nearly perpendicular to the removable mattress cover. This allows a fill material that is nearly the same size as the top of the mattress to be inserted beneath the removable mattress cover. The fasteners can project upwardly, away from the top of the mattress base, making the fasteners easily accessible from above. |

An infection resistant mat having individual segments containing foam padding and a contiguous cover of impervious material. The cover is constructed by radio frequency (RF) sealing of the seams which eliminates portals of entry of infectious organisms, vermin or fluid. Air channels within the cover communicate between the segments to allow air pressure equalization among the several segments during use. The contiguous cover creates hinges between the segments that allow the mat to be folded for storage. The mat also can be constructed with only one padded section. |
