Systems and methods for a cushion with at least one firmness feature are provided. A cushion may include an array of interconnected columns, each column of the array of interconnected columns having a height extending through a thickness of the cushion. At least one column of the array of interconnected columns may include at least one wall defined from a compressible, resilient material; a void defined by the at least one wall and extending through the height of the at least one column; and a firmness-defining feature extending along a height of the at least one wall.

Cushions with columns including firmness-defining features

An insole for a shoe includes an insole body of elastomeric material having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. A distance between the first major surface and the second major surface is between about 1 mm and about 10 mm. The elastomeric material defines a plurality of voids extending through the elastomeric material from the first major surface to the second major surface. Each void has a dimension between about 1 mm and about 3 mm in a plane parallel at least one of to the first major surface and the second major surface. A minimum distance between adjacent voids is between about 0.5 mm and about 3 mm. A shoe insole includes such a cushion. A method of forming an insole for a shoe includes providing an elastomeric material within a mold to form an insole body of elastomeric material.

Cushions and shoe insoles comprising elastomeric material and methods of forming same

A cover for a cushion includes a first panel, a second panel, and a primary receptacle defined between the first panel and the second panel. The primary receptacle may receive a primary cushioning element, such as a pillow, a pillow insert, or a fill material. At least one of the first panel and the second panel includes a secondary cushioning element. The secondary cushioning element may be defined from a compressible, resilient elastomeric material that defines a plurality of thin interconnected walls that in turn define an array of open cells or columns. Each cell or column may have a hexagonal shape, imparting the array of open cells or columns with a honeycomb appearance. Methods for assembling a primary cushioning element with such a cover are also disclosed.

Secondary cushioning elements for cushions

A mattress that includes a bottom mattress assembly and a top mattress assembly that may be assembled with each other. An internal overlap may be associated with the bottom mattress assembly and protrude beyond a top of a bottom core of the bottom mattress assembly to define a receptacle for a base portion of the top mattress assembly. A cover top and a cover bottom may be placed over the assembly and secured to each other at a location vertically below an upper extent of the internal overlap. The mattress may be modular and, thus, include a bottom mattress assembly selectable from a plurality of different configurations of bottom mattress assemblies and/or a top mattress assembly selectable from a plurality of different configurations of top mattress assemblies. Methods for assembling bottom mattress assemblies and top mattress assemblies with one another to provide a complete mattress are also disclosed.

Mattress assemblies

Fabric

An article of manufacture, such as a weighted blanket, a cushioning element, or the like, includes an elastomeric element that includes elongated elements that follow nonlinear, partially overlapping paths and voids between adjacent portions of the elongated elements. Such an elastomeric element may define a weighted layer of a weighted blanket, a cushioning layer of a cushioning element of the like. The elastomeric element may be secured directly to a substrate, such as a fabric layer. Alternatively, an adhesion layer may secure the elastomeric element to the substrate. An adhesion layer may cover only a portion of the substrate. A cover may be provided over the elastomeric element. Together, the cover and the substrate may contain the elastomeric element.
