Mattress with a quilted panel

Abstract

A panel for a mattress including first and second fabric layers joined together along their edges and a padding material between said fabrics. The padding material includes at least a layer of resilient foam provided with through-holes. The foam layer is quilted between the first and second fabric layers. A method of manufacturing the panel includes forming a resilient foam body provided with recesses, horizontally cutting a plurality of single layers in the body in the recesses portion to result in at least one layer with through-holes, sandwiching at least one of the single layers provided with through-holes in each panel between the first and second fabric layers.

1 . A panel for a mattress comprising:
 first and second fabric layers joined together along their edges and   a padding material between said fabric layers said padding material comprising at least a layer of resilient foam provided with through-holes, said foam layer being quilted between said first and second fabric layers.   
     
     
         2 . A panel according to  claim 1 , wherein the ratio between the thickness “s” of said resilient foam layer bearing through-holes and the total thickness “S” of said padding material between said fabric layers ranges from 0.5 to 1. 
     
     
         3 . A panel according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one resilient foam layer with through-holes is a latex foam. 
     
     
         4 . A panel according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one resilient foam layer includes from 6 to 84 through-holes/dm 2 . 
     
     
         5 . A panel according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one resilient foam layer comprises through-holes having a diameter of 1-30 mm. 
     
     
         6 . A panel according to  claim 3 , wherein at least one latex foam layer has a density between 35 and 150 Kg/m 3 . 
     
     
         7 . A panel according to  claim 3 , wherein said one latex foam layer is cut as single layer in a moulded cellular latex foam body with recesses. 
     
     
         8 . A mattress comprising a body sandwiched between an upper panel and a lower panel, wherein at least one of the panels is according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         9 . A mattress according to  claim 8 , wherein said upper panel and said lower panel are the same. 
     
     
         10 . A mattress according to  claim 8 , wherein said body comprises at least a resilient foam layer with recesses. 
     
     
         11 . A mattress according to  claim 10 , wherein said at least one resilient foam layer bearing through-holes of said panels and said at least one layer of resilient foam with recesses of said body are made of a resilient foam having the same physical and mixture characteristics. 
     
     
         12 . A mattress according to  claim 11  wherein said recesses of said body are through-recesses. 
     
     
         13 . A mattress according to  claim 10 , wherein said resilient foam of said body is a latex foam. 
     
     
         14 - 18 . (canceled) 
     
     
         19 . A panel according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one resilient foam layer comprises through-holes having a diameter between 8 and 24 mm.
