A pillow cooling system uses a blower unit spaced from the pillow to cool the sleeping surface of the pillow. The blower unit uses a fan to either push or pull air through an air tube extending between the blower unit and the pillow. A distal end of the air tube is joined to an air passage extending from a central core of the pillow through a foam shell of the pillow which surrounds the core of the pillow. The core of the pillow allows air to pass therethrough more easily than the foam shell of the pillow, facilitating the breathability of the pillow.
A tilt mechanism for a chair comprises a base (10), a back support (12) configured to support a chair back (104), a seat support (11) configured to support a chair seat (103), a first link element (30), a second link element (20), a spring element (40), and a forward sitting adjustment element (50). A first end (31) of the first link element (30) is pivotably coupled to the base (10). A first end (21) of the second link element (20) is pivotably coupled to the back support (12) and a second end (22) of the second link element (20) is coupled to a second end (32) of the first link element (30). A first end (41) of the spring element (40) is mounted at the base (10) and a second end (42) of the spring element (40) is urging against the first link element (30) at an adjustable position between the first end (31) and the second end (32) of the first link element (30). The forward sitting adjustment element (50) is movable between a first position and a second position. When the forward sitting adjustment element (50) is in the first position, a distance piece (51, 52) of the forward sitting adjustment element (50) is arranged between a stop surface (24) of the second end (22) of the second link element (20) and a stop surface (17) of the base (10) thus keeping a predefined minimum distance (18) between the stop surface (24) of the second end (22) of the second link element (20) and the stop surface (17) of the base (10). When the forward sitting adjustment element (50) is in the second position, the distance piece (51, 52) of the forward sitting adjustment element (50) is not arranged between the stop surface (24) of the second end (22) of the second link element (20) and the stop surface (17) of the base (10) thus allowing the stop surface (24) of the second end (22) of the second link element (20) to contact the stop surface (17) of the base (10).

Adjustable bed base with slotted mounting brackets
An adjustable bed base has a stationary frame. An articulated deck is attached to the frame. The deck may be flat or fully articulated depending upon the position of linear actuators which are secured to the frame at one end and to a brace at the other end. The deck may be further inclined due to slotted mounting brackets, thereby allowing access to components below the deck members.
An adjustable bed base has a subframe which may be raised and lowered relative to a stationary frame by primary linear actuators. A deck is attached to the subframe. The deck may be flat or fully articulated depending upon the position of secondary linear actuators which are a part of a subframe module. The subframe module may be secured to the stationary frame of the adjustable bed base. The deck may be inclined by extending one of the primary linear actuators more than the other regardless of the positions of the deck members.
An adjustable bed base may be folded in half for shipping without removing the leg assemblies. The leg assemblies are adjustable in length and may be secured in a raised position to facilitate folding the adjustable bed base. To change the length of the leg assembly, a hollow leg is moved inside a hollow receiver and fixed in place by a first push pin assembly. A second push pin assembly inside the hollow receiver fixes the leg assembly in a lowered position and a raised position for storage or shipment. Each hollow receiver is pivotally secured to a mounting bracket welded to a foldable frame of the adjustable bed base.
A comfort layer for a bedding or seating product has liquid pods sandwiched between plies of fabric. The plies of fabric are joined with seams thereby creating pockets, at least one liquid pod being inside each pocket.

Each weld seam (70e) joining opposed plies (65e, 67e) of fabric around each of the coil springs (28) of the comfort layer (56e) may be segmented, allowing air to flow between the segments (81e, 68e, 70e), thereby increasing the luxury "feel" of the comfort layer (56e). The method of making the comfort layer (56e) includes compressing the mini coil springs (28) and creating pockets (95, 101, 105) with a welding horn and an anvil.

Bedding foundation having roller movable for massage effect
A bedding foundation has a linear actuator for moving a roller carriage forward and backwards. The roller carriage includes wheels which move along rails supported below a rigid platform having an opening extending through the platform. The roller carriage includes a lifter which raises and lowers a roller independently of the movement of the linear actuator. Regardless of the position of the linear actuator, the roller may be raised or lowered. The roller moves back and forth inside the opening extending through the rigid platform and imparts a massage movement to a mattress above the foundation.

An apparatus for upholstering a truss allows an operator to staple a fabric web to the truss, rotate the truss, further staple the semi-finished truss and cut the fabric web. The truss is fully upholstered after the end surfaces of the truss are wrapped up in fabric and the fabric stapled in place. The apparatus may accommodate different size trusses. A web of fabric is pulled around at least one roller in the apparatus by rotation of two vise mechanisms on opposite sides of the truss.
A mechanism is provided for a seating unit that moves the seating unit between closed, TV, and fully reclined positions. The mechanism allows independent movement of a seat frame, relative to the chair arms and chair back to which the mechanism is mounted. The mechanism thus allows the seat depth of the chair to be adjusted relative to the chair back to accommodate the individual characteristics of the chair occupant.

Each seam joining opposed pieces of fabric around each of the mini coil springs of the comfort layer may be segmented, allowing air to flow between the segments.
A posturized comfort layer for a bedding or seating product has different sections of different firmness due to different mini coil springs within the sections. The springs may be individually pocketed between two sheets of non-woven polypropylene fabric joined with circular seams or rectangular seams. Each circular seam joins opposed pieces of fabric around one of the mini coil springs with curved segments. Alternatively, rectangular seams join opposed pieces of fabric around each of the mini coil springs with linear segments. Regardless of the shape of the seams, the different firmness of the different sections of the comfort layer may be due to the mini-coil springs contained in the pockets.
A pocketed spring assembly comprises a plurality of parallel strings of springs, each string joined to at least one adjacent string, each string comprising one piece of fabric folded into first and second opposed plies of fabric. Outer pockets are formed along each string by transverse seams joining the first and second plies. One pocketed spring and at least cushion pad is positioned in each outer pocket. The cushion pad may be individually pocketed. An upper end of each transverse seam may be below an upper surface of the string to partially separate adjacent outer pockets within a string.
