- the bottom layer includes a full length foam 14b (1.85 lbs./ft 3 42 IFD foam) of 1.75" in height, and a 4" wide, full length extra firm side rail 14c made of 1.80 lbs./ft 3 55 IFD foam on each side.
- the polyurethane foam is treated with an anti-microbial agent (for example, Vinyzene) injected into the mixture at the mixing head at the foaming process.
- the foam is manufactured to meet California Technical Bulletin #117.
- the mattress according to embodiments of the present invention has the following advantageous features.

It includes a terry cloth laminated to a stretchable polyurethane backing. The cover is antimicrobial and flame retardant according to California Technical Bulletin 117E and has an acceptable moisture vapor transfer rate (MVTR) per ASTM 96-95 Method B (for example, a MVTR of less than 170 g/m 2 /24hr will typically be acceptable).
