Abstract

Bedding products may utilize unique microporous films imparting bidirectional, micro particle and fluid penetration barrier properties, which may or may not contain active ingredient, while maintaining exceptional air permeability. A thin, microporous film with a unique sponge like cellular structure may prevent the migration of dust mites, dust mite feces, other micro particle allergens, pathogens and biological organisms from the interstices of the product to the sleep surface of the product, adversely affecting user health and comfort. Active ingredients such as anti microbial agents, metal oxides, and other materials may be used within the high capacity microporous structure of the film, and may provide customizable functionalities while maintaining barrier performance and superior air permeability. The micro structured film can be applied as a coating or a laminate to mattress or pillow ticking, a foam mattress construction, a comforter, duvet, mattress pad and/or other components of bedding products.
