Abstract:
A filler cloth includes cellulosic fibers treated with a flame retardant chemistry such that the filler cloth has a char length of less than about nine inches when tested in accordance with NFPA 701, such that thermal shrinkage of the filler cloth at 400° F. is less than about 35% in any direction, and such that the filler cloth maintains flame and heat resistant integrity when impinged with a gas flame in accordance with testing protocols set forth in Technical Bulletin 603 of the State of California Department of Consumer Affairs. The filler cloth cellulosic fibers are treated with a flame retardant chemistry such that the filler cloth has a Frazier air permeability of less than about 400 cfm and a thermal resistance rating of at least about 3 when tested according to NFPA 2112.
Abstract:
A mattress, foundation, or other upholstered sleep product or article includes a core and barrier material surrounding the core. The barrier material includes flame and heat-resistant material that is configured to prevent combustion of the core when the upholstered article is impinged with a gas flame according to California Technical Bulletin 603 of the State of California Department of Consumer Affairs. The barrier material may include an intumescent material that is configured to swell and char in the presence of a flame so as to form a barrier to the flame and to heat generated by the flame.

Abstract:
A mattress is constructed from a mattress body having an upper and a lower deck, which is preferably pervious to moisture and air. A removable panel, which includes a top layer of breathable fabric, a bottom layer of a fabric that forms a moisture barrier, and a batting layer, is placed on at least the upper deck of the mattress body. The removable panel is removably attached along the perimeter of the deck or decks by a fastener, such as a zipper. The panel can be removed from the deck for cleaning and folded and secured by the fastener in an inverted configuration, with the top layer facing outward.

Abstract:
Fire-resistant seating, in particular aircraft seats, which consist of at least a soft, supporting material and a cover, between which there is a fire-resistant intermediate layer, which is a combustion of a layer of fiberglass fabric, which is firmly attached to the soft supporting material, and a layer of polyurethane foam, which has been rendered fire-resistant and is firmly attached both to the layer of fiberglass fabric and to the cover.
Abstract:
A removable top panel for a mattress assembly generally includes at least one layer having length and width dimensions sufficient to support a reclining body of the user; a mechanical fastener component disposed at about a perimeter edge of a bottom facing surface of the at least one layer, wherein the mechanical fastener is configured to provide releasable engagement to an underlying mattress body; and a layer of a fire resistant material extending inwardly from the perimeter edge. Also disclosed are mattress assemblies including the removable top panel.
