SEALY TECHNOLOGY LLC

A support cushion for providing individualized heating and cooling to a user resting on the support cushion is provided. The support cushion includes a body supporting layer and an air distribution layer positioned adjacent to the body supporting layer. The air distribution layer includes a base plate and foam rails positioned at least around a perimeter of the base plate to define a cavity with a support insert positioned within the cavity. A fan is operably connected to the air distribution layer and provides air flow into the cavity of the air distribution layer. Air flow is directed through the support insert and into and through the body supporting layer.

A hybrid pillow includes a first coil panel and a second coil panel which are joined along peripheral edges to form an inner shell defining a gap therebetween. The first coil panel is formed of a plurality of coil springs, an upper fabric layer, and a lower fabric layer, with the upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer joined between the plurality of coil springs and along peripheral edges of the first coil panel. The second coil panel is formed of a second plurality of coil springs, a second upper fabric layer, and a second lower fabric layer, with the second upper fabric layer and the second lower fabric layer joined between the plurality of coil springs and along peripheral edges of the second coil panel. A support material disposed in the gap of the inner shell, and one or more additional layers disposed about the inner shell.

Present embodiments provide various open coil spring assemblies which perform like an encased spring assembly. The embodiments have elastic lacings or connections which connect springs to springs or springs to lacings. Various spring embodiments are provided as well as various arrangements for the elastic lacings. All of these features improve compliance and stability while reducing motion transfer.

A hybrid pillow includes a cushion material defining a recess. A coil panel is positioned within the recess of the cushion material with the coil panel formed of a plurality of coil springs, an upper fabric layer, and a lower fabric layer. The upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer are joined between the plurality of coil springs and along peripheral edges of the first coil panel. A gel layer is also positioned within the recess of the cushion material and over the coil panel. A method of manufacturing the pillow includes dispensing a liquid gel in a mold, positioning a coil panel in the mold and on top of the liquid gel, dispensing a foam precursor in the mold, and foaming the foam precursor to form a cushion material that is secured to the coil panel.

A reversible or hybrid mattress topper includes a first foam plate having a first density, a second foam plate having a second density different than the first density of the first foam plate, and a spring panel that is disposed between the first foam plate and the second foam plate. The spring panel includes a plurality of coil springs positioned between an upper fabric layer and a lower fabric layer, with the upper and lower fabric layers joined together. An insulating layer extends along an outside surface of each of the first foam plate and the second foam plate.
