Coil spring containing mattress and method

摘要

A coil spring containing mattress comprises a coil spring encased in a sealed container or casing. One or more compressible pads may be included within the casing. Desirably, these pads are of an open-celled foam material which may be compressed in response to applied pressure. Air may be allowed to flow from the mattress to facilitate compression of the mattress and then blocked to assist in maintaining the mattress in a compressed state, for example for shipment.
