Abstract
Abstract Foam resin bedding for use a box spring and mattress, both having areas of differential resistance to weight, the middle area having greater resistance than the end areas. This is accomplished in the box spring by forming on one side integral tapered protuberances extending normally from the face thereof, the protuberances in the midportion being smaller and closer spaced than those at the ends. In the mattress element the differential resistance is obtained by varying the size and or number of the pins extending through the foam body in the mold, as regards the midportion and end portions of the molded body.

In combination, a first bedding element and a second bedding element superposed on said first bedding element, said bedding elements each comprising a slab of substantial but minor thickness relative to its length and breadth and formed essentially of a resin foam, each of said elements having end portions and a middle portion with said middle portions generally underlying the midportion of the human body disposed thereon, said first element having a flat upper planar face and a plurality of generally conical protuberances projecting in a direction opposite from said face, the protuberances in the middle portion thereof being smaller and more closely spaced thaN the protuberances in the end portions and thus offering greater resistance to weight disposed thereon than the protuberances in the end portions, said second element having upper and lower flat planar faces and having a plurality of transverse vertical passages extending through its thickness, the passages being so varied as to size and number in the middle portion as compared to the end portions as to offer greater resistance to weight disposed thereon than in said end portions and a substantially rigid supporting panel underlying said first bedding element.
