Marshall coils (pocketed coils) Explanation: pocketed coils - Marshall coils Explanation: Connections between the coils help the mattress retain its shape. Most coils are connected by interconnecting wires; pocketed coils are not connected, but the pockets preserve the mattress shape. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-01-28 20:25:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Marshall Coils or Pocket Sprung Mattresses The "Pockets" designation of this entry pretty much gives the punch away; the same coils used for the open variation are enclosed into individual Pocket Springs. A series of those are joined together either in leveled rows or in honeycomb patterns, and securely stitched at the base of the frame. The idea is to provide additional support for the body's pressure points, like hips and shoulders, and allow motion separation all through the bed. Such support is made more efficient if manufactured with the use of Hand-Side finishing techniques, which consists in stitching the outer-rim pockets to the mattress wall two rows deep, from the outside-in, reducing internal rumbling of the pockets and reinforcing their strength all the way to the mattress' edge. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2009-01-28 21:02:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.beddingcomponents.com/pdf/marshall/marshall-flier...

Reference: džepičasti šling Reference information: Perhaps the "hespo" link below could be of some help... it talks of Bonnell springs for materasses as oposed to "džepičaste jezgre" with illustrations... the Turkish link gives a photo of Bonnell spring, so you will see the difference and perhaps find how "džepičaste jezgre" is called in English. As for "šling", the only usage I know is for a kind of traditional embroidery... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-01-28 19:49:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- *matresses -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-01-28 19:51:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- **mattress:) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-01-28 20:00:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Marshall coils, also called "pocketed coils," are each wrapped in a fabric encasement and usually are tempered, or in the case of the Simmons Beautyrest carbon magnesium is added. Some manufacturers pre-compress these coils, which makes the mattress firmer and allows for motion separation between the sides of the bed. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-01-28 20:21:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "šling" comes from German "Schlinge" (loop) Reference: http://www.hespo.hr/mad_vitazonprestige.htm Reference: http://www.alibaba.com/product/turkrezerv-11499972-0/product... |
