Abstract
A modular mattress renewal system is disclosed. A support lattice is made up of a plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks connected one to the other by block connectors that fit into guide apertures within the nodal blocks. The connectors themselves are also compressible and flexible and the compressible nodal foam blocks are provided with an adhesive portion that allows the user to customize the support necessary. Additionally, the nodal foam blocks have varying degrees of compressibility and varying compressibility gradients and are marked as such to further enhance the support customization possible. Thus, sagging mattresses or mattresses with indentations from use over time may be rehabilitated.

A modular mattress renewal system, comprising:
- a plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks, each of said compressible nodal foam blocks having a plurality of block connector guide apertures with an opening in a sidewall of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks extending from an upper surface to a lower surface thereof and further including nodal foam block adhesive portions, said plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks being a variable number of said compressible nodal foam blocks with the variable number of said compressible nodal foam blocks being adjustable for varying the number of said compressible nodal foam blocks between uses of said modular mattress renewal system;
- and,
- a plurality of nodal foam rod-shaped block connectors, each of said nodal foam rod-shaped block connectors having two nodal foam block connector engagement ends for being received in the block connector guide apertures with the opening in the sidewall of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks permitting each of said nodal foam rod-shaped block connectors to vertically slide, and be inserted along a vertical axis of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks, from the upper surface to the lower surface of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks and to protrude from each of said compressible nodal foam blocks, each said nodal foam rod-shaped block connector separating two compressible nodal foam blocks of said plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks in a non-contiguous spatial arrangement with empty spacing between said plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks,
- wherein said plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks with said plurality of nodal foam rod-shaped connectors are placed underneath a mattress, and not incorporated into the mattress, and fixed in place via said nodal foam block adhesive portions with said nodal foam rod-shaped block connectors being attached via said nodal foam block connector engagement ends for forming a supporting lattice for supporting at least a portion of the mattress by said plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks.
A modular mattress renewal system, comprising:
- a plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks, each of said compressible nodal foam blocks having a plurality of block connector guide apertures with an opening in a sidewall of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks extending from an upper surface to a lower surface thereof, and each of said compressible nodal foam blocks including a compressibility gradient extending from a more compressible upper, mattress engaging layer to a less compressible lower, nodal foam block adhesive portion layer for preventing inadvertent movement of said modular mattress renewal system when fixed in place, said plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks being a variable number of said compressible nodal foam blocks with the variable number of said compressible nodal foam blocks being adjustable for varying the number of said compressible nodal foam blocks between uses of said modular mattress renewal system;
- and,
- a plurality of nodal foam block connectors, each of said nodal foam block connectors having two nodal foam block connector engagement ends for being received in the block connector guide apertures with the opening in the sidewall of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks permitting each of said nodal foam block connectors to vertically slide, and be inserted along a vertical axis of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks, from the upper surface to the lower surface of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks and to protrude from each of said compressible nodal foam blocks, wherein said plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks, positioned in a non-contiguous spatial arrangement with empty spacing between said plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks, are placed underneath a mattress, and not incorporated into the mattress, and are fixed in place via said nodal foam block adhesive portion layer with said nodal foam block connectors being attached via said nodal foam block connector engagement ends for forming a supporting lattice for supporting at least a portion of the mattress by said plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks.
A modular mattress renewal system, comprising:
- a plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks, each of said compressible nodal foam blocks having a plurality of block connector guide apertures with an opening in a sidewall of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks extending from an upper surface to a lower surface thereof and further including nodal foam block adhesive portions;
- and,
- a plurality of nodal foam rod-shaped block connectors, each of said nodal foam rod-shaped block connectors having two nodal foam block connector engagement ends for being received in the block connector guide apertures at either the upper surface or the lower surface of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks with the opening in the sidewall of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks permitting each of said nodal foam rod-shaped block connectors to vertically slide, and be inserted along a vertical axis of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks, from the upper surface to the lower surface of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks and to protrude from each of said compressible nodal foam blocks, each said nodal foam rod-shaped block connector separating two compressible nodal foam blocks of said plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks in a non-contiguous spatial arrangement with empty spacing between said plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks,
- wherein said plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks with said plurality of nodal foam rod-shaped connectors are placed underneath a mattress, and not incorporated into the mattress, and fixed in place via said nodal foam block adhesive portions with said nodal foam rod-shaped block connectors being attached via said nodal foam block connector engagement ends for forming a supporting lattice for supporting at least a portion of the mattress by said plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks.
A modular mattress renewal system, comprising:
- a plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks, each of said compressible nodal foam blocks having a plurality of block connector guide apertures with an opening in a sidewall of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks extending from an upper surface to a lower surface thereof and each of said compressible nodal foam blocks including a compressibility gradient extending from a more compressible upper, mattress engaging layer to a less compressible lower, nodal foam block adhesive portion layer for preventing inadvertent movement of said modular mattress renewal system when fixed in place;
- and,
- a plurality of nodal foam block connectors, each of said nodal foam block connectors having two nodal foam block connector engagement ends for being received in the block connector guide apertures at either the upper surface or the lower surface of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks with the opening in the sidewall of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks permitting each of said nodal foam block connectors to vertically slide, and be inserted along a vertical axis of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks, from the upper surface to the lower surface of each of said compressible nodal foam blocks and to protrude from each of said compressible nodal foam blocks, wherein said plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks, positioned in a non-contiguous spatial arrangement with empty spacing between said plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks, are placed underneath a mattress, and not incorporated into the mattress, and are fixed in place via said nodal foam block adhesive portion layer with said nodal foam block connectors being attached via said nodal foam block connector engagement ends for forming a supporting lattice for supporting at least a portion of the mattress by said plurality of compressible nodal foam blocks.
