Most plush mattresses have a solid inner core of coils. Plush and pillow top spring mattresses are similar; both typically have structural firmness and stability. They also have a soft outer fabric surface intended to make sleep more comfortable.
By this time, the sometimes complicated array of knots and styles of neckwear gave way to the neckties and bow ties, the latter a much smaller, more convenient version of the cravat. Another type of neckwear, the Ascot tie, was considered de rigueur for male guests at formal dinners and male spectators at races.
Adjustable bow ties are the standard when the tie is to be worn with less formal lie-down collar shirts which obscure the neckband of the tie. One-size-fits-all adjustable bow ties are a later invention that help to moderate production costs.
