ABSTRACT:
A mattress border construction includes a foam rail sleeve encasing a single row of coil springs so that the top, bottom and sides of the row of springs are surrounded by foam. The row of coil springs is inserted into the hollow inner core of a foam rail sleeve. Preferably, a longitudinal slit is cut through the side wall of the foam rail sleeve to facilitate insertion of the row of springs into the inner core of the foam rail sleeve. The slit is then sealed closed with a suitable adhesive. Several border assemblies are positioned around a center body-supporting mattress portion, which may be a foam, spring coil or water mattress. The mattress center sections and borders may be joined together with adhesive, and are wrapped in a sheet of fabric or other covering material that is staple fastened to the core components. A welt cord may then be stitched around the border edges at top and bottom of the mattress. The combination of springs surrounded by foam has better side to side stability and body support than prior border constructions.
