Mattress topper including convoluted foam layer
Mattress toppers for mattress assemblies generally includes a convoluted foam layer including a convoluted upper surface and a bottom planar surface. The convoluted upper surface includes multiple raised rectangular-shaped foam sections and a plurality of raised spaced apart hemispherical-shaped foam spheres within each of the raised rectangular shaped foam sections; and at least one overlying foam layer including a bottom planar surface in contact with an uppermost surface of the multiple raised rectangular-shaped foam sections.
1. A mattress topper for a mattress assembly comprising:
a single piece convoluted foam layer comprising a convoluted upper surface and a bottom planar surface, the convoluted upper surface comprising multiple raised rectangular-shaped foam segments spaced apart from one another extending longitudinally along a length or width of the mattress topper from one end to another end and having coplanar top surfaces, wherein the spaced apart foam segments form sections therebetween, and a plurality of raised spaced apart hemispherical-shaped foam spheres within each section defined by the spaced apart raised rectangular shaped foam segments, wherein raised portions of the multiple raised rectangular shaped foam segments and the plurality of raised spaced apart hemispherical-shaped foam spheres extend from a common plane and the hemispherical-shaped foam spheres are separated from one another by a planar surface; and
at least one overlying foam layer comprising a bottom planar surface in contact with an uppermost surface of the multiple raised rectangular-shaped foam sections.
2. The mattress topper of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of raised spaced apart hemispherical-shaped foam spheres are arranged in columns and rows within each of the sections defined by the multiple raised rectangular-shaped foam segments.
3. The mattress topper of claim 1 , wherein the convoluted foam layer and the at least one additional overlying layer have different properties.
4. The mattress topper of claim 3 , wherein the different properties comprise indention load deflection hardness and/or density.
5. The mattress topper of claim 1 , wherein the convoluted foam layer has a hardness from 1 to 25 pounds-force.
6. The mattress topper of claim 1 , wherein the convoluted foam layer is a foam laminate comprising multiple foam layers.
7. The mattress topper of claim 1 , wherein the convoluted foam layer and the at least one overlying layer are different foams.
8. The mattress topper of claim 7 , wherein the convoluted foam layer and the at least one overlying layer have different properties.
9. The mattress topper of claim 1 , wherein the convoluted foam layer and the at least one overlying foam layer comprise of polyurethane, latex, polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, gel infused foams, and viscoelastic.
10. The mattress topper of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the convoluted foam layer and the overlying layer further comprise a phase change material and/or a thermally conductive material.
11. The mattress topper of claim 1 , wherein the mattress topper is removable relative to the mattress assembly.
12. The mattress topper of claim 1 , wherein the mattress topper defines a pillowtop portion of a pillowtop mattress assembly.

14. A mattress topper for a mattress assembly comprising:
a single piece convoluted foam layer comprising a convoluted upper surface and a bottom planar surface, the convoluted upper surface comprising a raised picture frame of foam about a perimeter of the convoluted foam layer and one or more raised internal rails parallel to a longitudinal axis of the raised picture frame to define raised rectangular shaped foam sections, wherein the raised picture frame and the internal rails have coplanar uppermost surfaces, and wherein the convoluted foam layer further comprises a plurality of raised spaced apart hemispherical-shaped foam spheres within each of the raised rectangular shaped foam sections; and
at least one overlying foam layer comprising a bottom planar surface in contact with an uppermost surface of the multiple raised rectangular-shaped foam sections.
15. The mattress topper of claim 14 , wherein an apex of each hemisphere is coplanar to the uppermost surfaces of the raised picture frame and the internal rails.
16. The mattress topper of claim 14 , wherein the mattress topper is removable relative to the mattress assembly.
17. The mattress topper of claim 14 , wherein the mattress topper defines a pillowtop portion of a pillowtop mattress assembly.
18. The mattress topper of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of hemispheres are spaced apart by at least 0.25 inches.
19. The mattress topper of claim 14 , wherein the convoluted foam layer and the at least one overlying layer are different foams.
