Abstract

The Portable Renovating Kit for renovating innerspring mattress by consumer provides components for restoring their used mattress. Consumer is to rip away mattress cover (ticking) and all filling materials—leaving only the innerspring coil mattress unit for use in rebuilding mattress. Kit contains two polyester pads for insulation and padding over coiled innerspring unit on top and bottom sleeping sides—over a border wire assembled around the perimeter of the coiled innerspring unit. The polyester pad extension leaves a flange past the border wire—the flange of polyester pad is tucked into the coil unit around the perimeter of the innerspring unit. Contains two slabs of urethane foam cushioning material in a dimension extending past the edges of padded innerspring unit that leaves a flange of pad. The flange of urethane foam cushioning material is to be folded over perimeter edges of top and bottom sleeping sides and tucked into the coil springs. A cut and sewn textile fabric mattress cover panels—quilted or stitched through a layer of urethane foam cushioning material into textile sheeting for top and bottom sleeping surfaces. The top and bottom stitched or quilted panels are sewn with binding tape to a pre-built fabric border that has been quilted or sewn through urethane foam into sheeting. The pre-built border is cut and sewn to fit around the peripheral sidewall of the mattress—with a zipper joining a top half of border and lower half of border. The zipper has a tab for opening and closing mattress cover around the border with stops to the four ends of zipper. The mattress cover will be shipped to consumer pre-zipped to assure proper fit for assembly.
