CONSTRUCTION DE MATELAS À RESSORTS ENSACHÉS POUR FACILITER LE TRANSPORT

摘要

A mattress as disclosed herein comprises first and second pocket coil sections forming the head and foot portions of the mattress, wherein the first and second pocket coil sections are connected to one another by a compressible strip of material extending across the mattress, providing a hinge location for packing the mattress for transportation, in use. This structure allows the mattress to be compressed flat such as by vacuum compression and then folded at the hinge location. The folded compressed mattress can then be rolled up transverse to the folded hinge into a substantially cylindrical shape and boxed for transport. The compressible strip of material, which may be a durable open-cell foam material, allows the mattress to be folded and rolled into a compact form for transport without causing unrecoverable deformation of the mattress springs.
