A mattress spring assembly is disclosed having increased firmness in a preselected center area of the mattress. This increased firmness is achieved through use of a grid structure attached to the opposite sides of the mattress. This grid structure comprises plastic straps extending diametrically across the mattress in the center third area and overlaid by a preformed wire grid. The plastic straps and wire grid are attached to the preassembled spring core by conventional connectors such as metal clips and/or hog rings.

Center reinforced mattress

An improved sofa-sleeper structure having a foldable bed frame, the bed frame including a cloth front deck and a cloth rear deck. The cloth decks are fixed one to the other, e.g., by stitching, at their adjoining edges, and are attached by tension springs to the bed frame. A tensioning device extends between side members of the bed frame in the area where the front and rear decks are fixed together, the tensioning device maintaining the front deck relatively taut when the bed frame is folded into the sofa attitude, thereby aiding in establishing a spring surface for the sofa's cushions. A mattress is connected to the cloth front and rear decks in fixed fashion around its periphery, e.g., by stitching, thereby stabilizing the mattress in position on the bed frame.
