The cross members extend through open-ended tubular pockets attached directly to the cover and connected by integral flaps to the lining. Each pocket and its flap are formed from a strip of a flexible material welded along a first longitudinal central line to the cover, the two portions at opposite sides of said line being stitched together along second lines spaced from said first line to form the pocket and being stitched to the lining along third lines adjacent to the side edges of the strip and spaced from said second lines. The ends of each cross member are received in pockets formed by attaching pieces of a flexible material to the sides of the cover.
