(under subclass 690) Mattress including a plurality of vertical stringlike filaments, generally between the upper and lower portions of the mattress.
(1) Note. Usually a cover encapsulates a pad and is secured to the pad at points spaced apart on the cover's surface by filaments which pass from the surface of one side of the cover completely through the pad to the surface of the cover on the opposite side of the pad to keep the pad in a compressed state and to thereby prevent loss of shape or expansion of the pad.
(2) Note. The filaments are often attached to tufting buttons placed on the top cover and under the bottom cover of a pad.
