Abstract
Abstract This relates to a safety mattress, pillow, cushion, upholstered article and the like, comprising a layer of flexible sheet material covering an incombustible, resilient, low-bulk, highdensity mass of interlocked segments of fiber glass filaments that are free of organic binder and have a permanently distorted shape extending in a plurality of directions when said filaments are substantially free of tension.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
111 words
A resilient, fire-resistant safety mattress, pillow, cushion, upholstered article and the like comprising a cushionable core, a pad covering said core, said pad comprising an incombustible, resilient, low-bulk, high-density mass of interlocked segments of fiber glass filaments that are free of organic binder and incapable of emitting toxic fumes at elevated temperatures and that have a permanently distorted shape extending in a plurality of directions when said filaments are substantially free of tension, and a flexible sheet material covering said pad, wherein said cushionable core material comprises a strand-fiber composite material composed of randomly-oriented, essentially uniformlydistributed glass fiber strands interspersed throughout a mass of randomly-oriented and essentially uniformly-distributed individual glass fibers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
