Eclipse International, a mattress manufacturer and licensing group with headquarters in North Brunswick, N.J., has been issued a patent for its Zoned Quilt Technology. The technology uses a “densified” quilt pattern with an added layer of memory foam to provide better lumbar support and reduce body impressions.
The invention reduces mattress manufacturing costs, improves mattress durability and provides additional comfort, the company states in its patent.
In addition, Zoned Quilt Technology differentiates Eclipse mattresses from other beds on the retail floor by creating a visual explanation of the improved support the mattress provides, said Eclipse President Matthew Connolly.
“Mattress manufacturers are finding it can help to increase sales,” Connolly says. “So far, we have been experiencing a lot of success with this new patented technology.”
