Abstract:
1. A three-dimensional, breathable bedding element comprising: a front wall sheet and a rear wall sheet, each sheet constructed of a material that is stiffly flexible and that allows air to pass therethrough freely, each sheet having a length dimension and a height dimension, the back sheet having an upper back wall edge and a lower back wall edge and the front sheet having an upper front wall edge and a lower front wall edge; wherein the upper back wall edge and upper front wall edge are affixed to each other and the lower back wall edge and the lower front wall edge are affixed to each other and wherein the height dimension of the front wall sheet is greater than the height dimension of the back wall sheet, such that the front wall and back wall together form a three-dimensional shape; wherein the three-dimensional shape provides a first resistance against a force applied in a direction transverse to a vertical plane of the back wall and a second resistance against a force is applied in a direction parallel to the back wall, the first resistance being greater than the second resistance and providing a cushioning effect, the second resistance allowing the three-dimensional shape to flatten.
