Claims15
A module (100) for a sleeping system, comprising
- a first horizontal slat (110) and a second horizontal slat (120), each having ends, the first horizontal slat (110) being positioned above the second horizontal slat (120), wherein the ends of the first horizontal slat (110) and the second horizontal slat (120) are connected to each other in pairs by means of coupling elements (112,114) without the first horizontal slat (110) and the second horizontal slat (120) directly touching one another;
- and
- a sliding system (140), comprising two or more sliding elements (141-146) which differ from the coupling elements (112, 114), wherein
- the two or more sliding elements (141-146) are configured to slide over at least part of the length of the second horizontal slat (120);
- the position of the two or more sliding elements (141-146) determines the resistance to bending or torsion of the second horizontal slat (120);
- and
- the first horizontal slat does not directly contact said sliding elements when a load is applied to the first horizontal slat.
