What is foam encapsulation in a mattress?

In short

Foam encapsulation is a high-density foam border around a spring unit that stiffens the mattress perimeter and reduces edge collapse when sitting or sleeping near the side.

More detail

It is a structural edge treatment, not a comfort-foam brand name. Decorative side panels without dense foam do not provide the same support. See the foam encapsulation glossary entry and the edge support guide.
