Abstract
Abstract A mattress or pillow for hospital use generally consisting of a core of parallel-epipedic shape formed of elastic plastic having open cells, a layer of elastic plastic having open cells secured by heat-lamination to said core but having a shorter solidification time than the core. Said construction then being entirely covered by a protective film formed of a plastic which is heat-laminated to the layer of elastic plastic and which is easy to clean and disinfect.
