Claim Text:
1. In combination: a map that defines: (i) a first pattern of a first plurality of different firmness foam springs for a first zone of foam springs, the first pattern based on a predetermined position for the first plurality of foam springs, the first pattern providing foam spring positions and firmness values for the first plurality of foam springs, and (ii) a second pattern of a second plurality of different firmness foam springs for a second zone of foam springs, the second pattern based on a predetermined position for the second plurality of foam springs, the second pattern providing foam spring positions and firmness values for the second plurality of foam springs; and a mattress that includes (i) a containment facility that correlates in geometry to the map and that defines predefined locations for foam spring placement; and (ii) the first and second plurality of foam springs disposed in the predefined zones and locations defined in the containment facility based on the map, the first and second plurality of foam springs disposed in the containment facility in a single horizontal plane; wherein each of the first and second plurality of foam springs has a characteristic firmness; wherein the first plurality of foam springs includes foam springs with a first firmness and the second plurality of foam springs includes foam springs with a second firmness different than the first firmness; wherein each of the first and second plurality of foam springs has a visually distinguishable color associated therewith, the foam springs with the first firmness having a first color and the foam springs with the second firmness having a second color different from the first color, with each color visible when viewing the foam springs disposed in the containment facility; wherein individual positioning and individual placement of the foam springs in the containment facility is based on correlation of the visually distinguishable color of the foam springs with the map; wherein the individual positioning and individual placement of the foam springs in the containment facility is operable to provide a firmness configuration corresponding to user input relating to a firmness of the mattress; wherein the first zone of foam springs includes at least two foam springs of the first plurality of foam springs having the first firmness and having the first color, the first color correlating to the first firmness; and wherein the second zone of foam springs includes at least two foam springs of the second plurality of foam springs having the second firmness and having the second color, the second color correlating to the second firmness.
