Mattress assemblies including antiviral protection
Antiviral-treated fabric layers for mattress assemblies includes a silver halide and liposome carrier. Additionally, the envelope encapsulating a cushioning material can include an antiviral-treated fabric. The antiviral-treated fabric can include silver halide and a liposome carrier, wherein the liposome carrier is a vesicle.
1. A mattress assembly comprising:
a ticking layer comprising a silver-based material on a user contact surface when the mattress assembly is in use, wherein the silver-based material comprises a plurality of vesicular carriers including silver ions disposed therein, wherein the vesicular is a cholesterin depleting lipid vesicle; and
a base core layer, wherein the ticking layer overlies a top surface of the base core layer and defines an outermost surface of the mattress assembly.
2. The mattress assembly of claim 1 , wherein the silver based material comprises silver halide.
3. The mattress assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mattress assembly is a two-sided mattress.
4. The mattress assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mattress assembly is one-sided mattress.
5. The mattress assembly of claim 1 , wherein the ticking layer comprises a fabric covering, wherein at least a portion of the fabric covering or fibers defining the fabric covering comprise the silver-based material.
6. The mattress assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a base core layer comprising an innerspring assembly, wherein the ticking layer overlies the base core layer.
7. The mattress assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a base core layer comprising one or more foam layers, wherein the ticking layer overlies the base core layer.
8. The mattress assembly of claim 1 , wherein the silver-based material is in a range of about 5 to about 20 percent by weight of fabric.
9. A mattress assembly, comprising,
a base core having an upper primary surface,
a mattress panel overlying the upper primary surface of the base core comprising,
an antiviral-treated fabric layer comprising a silver-based material including a plurality of vesicular carriers including silver ions disposed therein,
wherein the vesicular carrier is a cholesterin depleting lipid vesicle, and
a filler layer disposed below the fabric layer, wherein the fabric layer, and filler layer are joined at a respective edge.
10. The mattress assembly of claim 9 , further comprising a fire resistant layer within the mattress panel intermediate the filler layer and the antiviral-treated fabric layer and being joined at the respective edge.
11. The mattress assembly of claim 9 , further comprising a backing layer underlying the filler layer and being joined at the respective edge.
12. The mattress assembly of claim 11 , wherein at least two of the fabric layer, filler layer, and backing layer are joined together by stitching, gluing, stapling, tying, or melting.
13. The mattress assembly of claim 9 , wherein the base core comprises a core selected from the group of innersprings, pocketed innersprings, viscoelastic foam, latex foam, polyurethane foam and combinations thereof.
14. The mattress assembly of claim 9 , wherein the mattress panel is configured to be removable from the mattress assembly.
15. The mattress assembly of claim 9 , wherein the mattress panel comprises a comforter.
16. The mattress assembly of claim 9 , wherein the silver-based material is in a range of about 5 to about 20 percent by weight of fabric layer.
17. The mattress assembly of claim 9 , wherein the mattress panel comprises a mattress protector.
