          Application 09/157,705                                                      


                                        APPENDIX                                      

               1.  A dimensionally stable mattress and furniture insulator            
          pad, comprising:                                                            
               a polyurethane core foam sheet having an upper surface and a           
          lower surface;                                                              
               a first stiffening layer having an upper face and a lower              
          face, wherein the lower face is attached to the upper surface of            
          the core foam sheet;                                                        
               a second stiffening layer having an upper face and a lower             
          face wherein the upper face is attached to the lower surface of             
          the core foam sheet;                                                        
               a first outer polyurethane foam sheet attached adjacent to             
          the top face of the first stiffening layer so that the first                
          stiffening layer is substantially completely covered by the outer           
          foam sheet; and                                                             
               a second outer polyurethane foam sheet attached adjacent to            
          the bottom face of the second stiffening layer so that the second           
          stiffening layer is substantially completely covered by the outer           
          foam sheet;                                                                 
          so that the core foam sheet with first and second stiffening                
          layers and first and second outer foam sheets attached thereto              
          forms the dimensionally stable mattress and furniture insulator             
          pad with a sufficient stiffness to resist bending and                       
          telegraphing.
