Geotextile-based structure for vegetative growth enhancement and erosion resistance

An internally braced synthetic mattress is a geosynthetic structure made of a geosynthetic material. The structure has a bottom side, a top side and at least one upright side joining at least a portion of the bottom side and top side. The at least one upright side is formed by an upright fold of the geosynthetic material. A horizontal bar is woven through a portion of the bottom side of the geosynthetic structure and joined with an upright bar and a diagonal bar to form at least one angle brace to support at least a portion of the geosynthetic structure. The geosynthetic structure contains a filler to prevent/reduce erosion.
