Patent attributes
A pocketed spring assembly comprises a plurality of parallel strings of springs, each string joined to an adjacent string, each string comprising first and second opposed plies of fabric and a plurality of pockets formed along a length of the string by transverse seams joining the first and second plies, and at least one spring positioned in each pocket. At least one said string has a single spring in one pocket and a pair of nested springs in an adjacent pocket in alternating fashion along the length of the string, the pair of nested springs having a taller spring and a shorter spring. A portion of each transverse seam forming the adjacent pockets of the at least one string is divided from an upper surface of the at least one string downwardly so as to partially separate the adjacent pockets.
