Abstract

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.

Claims (26)

1. A reversible hybrid mattress topper, comprising:

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;

a spring panel disposed between the first foam plate and the second foam plate, the spring panel including a plurality of coil springs positioned between an upper fabric layer and a lower fabric layer, and the upper and lower fabric layers joined together between the plurality of coil springs and along the peripheral edges of the upper and lower fabric layers, such that the upper and lower fabric layers form a space between each of the coil springs, form a coil pocket around each of the coil springs, and define a perimeter of the spring panel; and

an insulating layer comprised of a fiber material and extending along an outside surface of each of the first foam plate and the second foam plate such that each insulating layer is positioned adjacent to an upper or a lower surface of the mattress topper.

2. The reversible hybrid mattress topper of claim 1 , further comprising a cover disposed about the insulating layer.

3. The reversible hybrid mattress topper of claim 1 , wherein the upper fabric layer or the lower fabric layer of the spring panel includes a plurality of apertures configured to allow an amount of airflow through the plurality of coil springs.

4. The reversible hybrid mattress topper of claim 3 , wherein the upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer of the spring panel are welded in a center portion of at least one of the plurality of coil springs to form a central welded portion in the at least one of the plurality of coil springs.

5. The reversible hybrid mattress topper of claim 4 , wherein the central welded portion further includes an opening.

6. The reversible hybrid mattress topper of claim 1 , wherein the first foam plate, the second foam plate, or both are covered in a netting material.

7. The reversible hybrid mattress topper of claim 1 , wherein the first foam plate, the second foam plate, or both are comprised of a polyurethane foam or a latex foam.

8. The reversible hybrid mattress topper of claim 7 , wherein the first foam plate, the second foam plate, or both are comprised of a viscoelastic foam.

9. The reversible hybrid mattress topper of claim 1 , wherein the first foam plate, the second foam plate, or both include a plurality of airflow apertures.

10. The reversible hybrid mattress topper of claim 1 , wherein the first foam plate, the second foam plate, or both are coated with a nanobionic material.

11. A two-sided hybrid mattress topper, comprising:

a first foam plate and a second foam plate, the first foam plate have a density greater than the second foam plate, and the first foam plate having a feel different than the second foam plate;

a spring panel disposed between the first foam plate and the second foam plate, the spring panel including a plurality of coil springs positioned between an upper fabric layer and a lower fabric layer, the upper and lower fabric layers joined together between the plurality of coil springs and along the peripheral edges of the upper and lower fabric layers, such that the upper and lower fabric layers form a space between each of the coil springs, form a coil pocket around each of the coil springs, and define a perimeter of the spring panel, and the upper fabric layer or the lower fabric layer including a plurality of apertures configured to allow an amount of airflow through the plurality of coil springs; and

an insulating layer comprised of a fiber material and extending along an outside surface of each of the first foam plate and the second foam plate such that each insulating layer is positioned adjacent to an upper or a lower surface of the mattress topper.

12. The two-sided hybrid mattress topper of claim 11 , further comprising a cover disposed about the insulating layer.

13. The two-sided hybrid mattress topper of claim 11 , wherein the first foam plate, the second foam plate, or both are covered in a netting material.

14. The two-sided hybrid mattress topper of claim 11 , wherein the first foam plate, the second foam plate, or both are comprised of a polyurethane foam or a latex foam.

15. The two-sided hybrid mattress topper of claim 14 , wherein the first foam plate, the second foam plate, or both are comprised of a viscoelastic foam.

16. The two-sided hybrid mattress topper of claim 11 , wherein the first foam plate, the second foam plate, or both are coated with a nanobionic material.

17. The two-sided hybrid mattress topper of claim 11 , wherein the upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer of the spring panel are constructed of a substantially air impermeable fabric, and

wherein the upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer of the spring panel further include air permeable regions.

18. The two-sided hybrid mattress topper of claim 17 , wherein the upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer of the spring panel are welded in a center portion of at least one of the plurality of coil springs to form a central welded portion in the at least one of the plurality of coil springs, the central welded portion further defining an opening.
