                               a base comprising a plurality of pocketed coil springs,                                                
                               a topper located above said base, said topper having a plurality of spring                             
                       core segments and a plurality of filler segments, each of said topper spring core                              
                       segments comprising a plurality of springs joined together with helical lacing

                               a posturized topper located above said base, said topper having multiple                               
                       segments of differing firmnesses including a filler segment located between two                                
                       topper spring core segments, each topper spring core segment comprising a                                      
                       plurality of springs joined together, each of said spring core segments being                                  
                       secured to said filler segment.

                               a base,                                                                                                
                               a posturized topper located above said base, said topper having multiple                               
                       segments of differing firmnesses including a spring core segment located                                       
                       between two segments, each topper spring core segment comprising a plurality                                   
                       of springs joined together, each of said filler segments being secured to said                                 
                       spring core segment.                                                                                           


               The teachings of the applied prior art                                                                                 
               Asaro                                                                                                                  
                       Asaro's invention relates to improvements in spring cushion structures.  In the                                
               drawings Asaro has shown the spring cushion structure as being an automobile seat.                                     
               However, Asaro teaches that it should be borne in mind that his improvements are                                       
               desirable for use in furniture and other upholstery, particularly where it is desired to                               
               provide a relatively soft or yielding surface and at the same time provide a structure in
