A stiffening system for the perimeter edges of a foam core mattress comprising a coil spring (or other spring-based) structure disposed along one or more perimeter edges (e.g., one or both side edges, the foot, the head, or a combinations thereof including the foot and both side edges) of a mattress having a foam sleeping area. The perimeter spring structure is rectangular or square in cross-section and provides sufficient stiffness for comfortable seating on the edges of the mattress and is joined to the foam core by planar fabric elements that span the joint between them and are attached to both. The sleep area provides the softness and other salutary effects of a foam sleeping surface while the stiffer spring perimeter element provides the rigidity need for comfortable seating and wear resistance. |

A quilted pad is made by chopping post-industrial scrap foam into particles and blowing the chopped particles into an air cyclone. The cyclone separates the particles from the air stream and feeds them into a foam layout machine. The chopped foam particles are deposited across a fabric bottom carrier sheet in a uniform layer. A multi-needle quilting machine lays a top fabric sheet across the foam layer, and then quilts a geometric pattern of pockets which separate and secure the foam particles. The foam particle sheet is then cut into panels and the panel edges are finished, creating a low cost but highly functional and attractive pad that can be used as a cushioning pad internal to a conventional bed mattress, as padding in the manufacture of futons, or as a low cost mattresses for camping, for use in emergency and homeless shelters. |

A foam mattress made up of a number of segments each of which includes a sheet-like base member and a plurality of discrete spaced apart foam elements extending from a face of the base member wherein the elements have been integrally formed in a single molding operation along the base member. The segments are joined to one another at their respective bases to form a core from which the elements extend from opposite sides. |

A bouyant, flexible, resilient aquatic mat for use on water surfaces adapted to support one or more persons. The mat comprises an elongated slab and a headrest formed of the same material. The material of the mat comprises a unicellular, non-water absorbent, plastic foam. The material comprising the mat may have a tough plastic coating over the entire surface or by use of a suitable plastic foam material the material comprising the mat may be used without a coating. |

A buoyant, flexible, resilient aquatic mat for use on water surfaces adapted to support one or more persons. The mat comprises an elongated slab and a headrest formed of the same material. The material of the mat comprises a unicellular, non-water absorbent, plastic foam. The material comprising the mat may have a tough plastic coating over the entire surface or by use of a suitable plastic foam material the material comprising the mat may be used without a coating. A series of parallel grooves with rounded inner surfaces extends into the mat from its lower surface. The grooves formed with heated rounded bars to provide density increased skin surfaces in areas of the grooves. |

A body-support device for use as a mattress or cushion for hospital beds comprises an inner core (10) of soft, resilient plastics material having predominantly open cells, said core having two mutually opposite major surfaces (10a,10b) connected together by side surfaces (10c). Each major surface (10a,10b) is covered with a thin layer (11,12) of soft, resilient plastics material having predominantly closed cells, said thin layers (11,12) also covering at least two side surfaces of said inner core. The surfaces of the thin layers (11,12) remote from the core (10) are covered with a plastics foil (14,15). The uncovered side surfaces of the inner core serve to enable air to pass into and out of the inner core. The plastics foil provides the body-support device with a surface which can readily be kept clean. The thin layers (11,12) afford a better and stronger bonding of the plastics foil to the body-support device. |

A cushion construction having a central area formed of a flexible foam material exhibiting a 25% ILD in the range of 10-50 pounds and a surrounding outer band or border of rebonded foam material exhibiting a 25% ILD in the range of 50-200 pounds. The outer band extends around and is bonded or secured to the side walls of the central area and thereby supports the edges of the cushion to prevent edge collapse or "rollover". |

A buoyant, flexible, resilient aquatic mat for use on water surfaces adapted to support one or more persons. The mat comprises an elongated slab and a headrest formed of the same material. The material of the mat comprises a unicellular, non-water absorbent, plastic foam having a tough plastic coating over the entire surface. The headrest comprises a transverse void which provides additional buoyancy. Several embodiments of the aquatic mat are described, and in addition, a modification applicable to all the embodiments, wherein the void of the headrest is enclosed at both ends to provide a closed air chamber and alternatively, the closed air chamber can have vent holes communicating therewith through the bottom of the headrest. |

MILLER P |
A mattress comprising a core and a casing, at least the upper surface of said casing comprising a laminate of a fabric and a foam at least about 0.15 inch thick, said fabric being outside and being bonded over substantially its entire underface to said foam, said laminate having a three-dimensional contoured and patterned surface. The fabric foam laminate is produced by printing adhesive from an engraved roll onto a foam sheet during compression of the sheet and contacting the sheet with a fabric while the adhesive is tacky. The engraving of the roll is deep along some lines and shallow everywhere else for overall bonding. Immediately thereafter the laminate is cooled to quench and set the tacky adhesive so the laminate has relatively deep depressions corresponding to the deep engraving of the roll.

A seating and reclining furniture unit having a compressible foam core, constructed from a preferably rectangular-shaped mold formed with upholstery material. The corners of the mold are mitred or staved in inwardly, and coated with plastic, to secure the mold in its configuration. Liquid foam is then poured into the mold to form an integral furniture unit from the upholstery material and the compressible foam.
