The present invention relates to cushion technical field, in particularly, to an cushion supporting structure.
Cushions are widely used in people's lives, such as sofa cushions, seat cushions, mattresses, automotive seat cushions, pillows, etc. Current cushions are generally composed of a coat and a filling material disposed on the coat. The coat is generally a flexible cloth or a sheath, and the filling material is generally sponge, latex, or the like. These cushions provide a soft support to the human body, so that people feel comfortable.
However, these cushions has some obvious defects. The first one is difficulty in cleaning. When the surface of the cushion is soiled or liquid such as fruit juice or milk enters the filling through the coat, the cushion cannot be cleaned. The second is that this type of cushion cannot sufficiently kill bacteria, mites and the like in the filling even if the cushion is exposed to sunlight for sunburn. The third one is air-proof and air-permeable.
To this end, it is necessary to develop a new cushion support structure, so as to replace a filler in a current cushion to provide soft support for a user's body, and at the same time, overcome the defects that the existing cushion is not easy to clean, is not easy to desterilize, has no ventilation and low heat dissipation.
