10. A bed comprising the combination of a mattress and a mattress support, said mattress including upper and lower surfaces and a peripheral surface therebetween, means for forming a pocket inboard of said peripheral surface for receipt of a mattress retainer, means exterior of said pocket for reinforcing said pocket, said mattress being supported by said mattress support, and said mattress support carrying an upwardly projecting retainer projecting upwardly from said mattress support and into said pocket to thereby retain the mattress relative to the mattress support.
11. The bed as defined in claim 10 wherein in said upper, lower and peripheral surfaces are defined by respective upper, lower and peripheral fabric materials, a mattress core inboard of said reinforcing means, and said reinforcing means being disposed between said mattress core and said peripheral fabric material.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
