Active mattress spinner

A system for facilitating lifting of two mattresses with respect to their respective box springs or platforms, the system comprising:

• a first subsystem, wherein the first subsystem comprises:
• a first layer of material;
• a second layer of material attached to the first layer of material in a manner to form a first expandable air volume that is flat in a normal mode of operation and expanded in an expanded mode of operation, the first expandable air volume configured to be disposed between an underside of a first mattress and a top side of a first box spring or platform;
• one or more first holes disposed in one of the first layer or the second layer for continuously releasing air from within the first expandable air volume;
• wherein one or more of the first holes is a first adjustable opening disposed in one of the first layer or the second layer for controlling flow of air within the first expandable air volume;
• and
• a first air inlet nozzle in fluid communication with the first expandable air volume, wherein the first air inlet nozzle includes an interior portion disposed partially within the first expandable air volume such that the interior portion of the air inlet nozzle has an air inlet end outside the first expandable air volume and a first air outlet end within the first expandable air volume, and an exterior portion that couples to the interior portion with one of the first layer or the second layer disposed between the interior and exterior portions, and wherein the air inlet end is inserted through an opening in the exterior portion and the exterior portion slides onto the interior portion;
• wherein the one or more first holes, the first adjustable opening, and the first air inlet nozzle are configured to regulate the air within the first expandable air volume under influence of an external air supply in fluid communication with the first air inlet nozzle, wherein the first expandable air volume lifts the first mattress with respect to the first box spring or platform;
• and
• a second subsystem, wherein the second subsystem comprises:
• a third layer of material;
• a fourth layer of material attached to the third layer of material in a manner to form a second expandable air volume that is flat in a normal mode of operation and expanded in an expanded mode of operation, the second expandable air volume configured to be disposed between an underside of a second mattress and a top side of a second box spring or platform;
• one or more second holes disposed in one of the third layer or the fourth layer for continuously releasing air from within the second expandable air volume;
• wherein the one or more second holes is a second adjustable opening disposed in one of the third layer or the fourth layer for controlling the flow of air within the second expandable air volume;
• and
• a second air inlet nozzle in fluid communication with the second expandable air volume, wherein the second air inlet nozzle includes an interior portion disposed partially within the second expandable air volume such that the interior portion of the air inlet nozzle has an air inlet end outside the second expandable air volume and a second air outlet end within the second expandable air volume, and an exterior portion that couples to the interior portion with one of the third layer or the fourth layer disposed between the interior and exterior portions, and wherein the air inlet end is inserted through an opening in the exterior portion and the exterior portion slides onto the interior portion;
• wherein the one or more second holes, the second adjustable opening, and the second air inlet nozzle are configured to regulate the air within the second expandable air volume under the influence of an external air supply in fluid communication with the second air inlet nozzle, wherein the second expandable air volume lifts the second mattress with respect to the second box spring or platform, and
• wherein the first air inlet nozzle is in fluid communication with the second air inlet nozzle;
• wherein the second air inlet nozzle has an L-shaped configuration and the first air inlet nozzle has a dual-sided configuration in which the exterior portion includes an air supply end and an air supply connector end, and air received through the supply end partially exits through the second air outlet end of the interior portion and partially exits through the air supply connector end.
