Abstract
A mattress system that can be readily broken down into components sized for shipment by common carrier. The system may include a top layer, bottom and sides, for capturing foam blocks in the body of the mattress. The top layer may be a foam and silicone rubber or viscoelastic PVC laminate, or it may be wholly foam, wholly silicone rubber, wholly viscoelastic PVC, or fabric enclosed foam particulates. If desired magnets may be glued or otherwise affixed to the top layer. Various components of the system may be made fire retardant.
Claims74
A mattress system comprising:
- a pair of foam side members to form the side of a cavity;
- a head foam member and a foot foam member to form the head and foot of said cavity;
- a bottom of said cavity connected to said side members and said head and foot members;
- a set of at least two separable foam blocks sized so that the set of foam blocks fits within and substantially fills said cavity;
- a relatively flat layer dimensioned to cover the top of said cavity and to be disposed at least partially over said side members, said head member and said foot member;
- and
- a fastening system directly connected to the flat layer, the head foam member, the foot foam member and the side foam members to prevent relative movement of the flat layer with respect to the side members, the head member and the foot member.
A mattress system comprising:
- separable foam members defining a cavity;
- a bottom of said cavity;
- at least two separable foam blocks sized to fit within and substantially fill the cavity;
- a separable relatively flat layer dimensioned to cover the cavity;
- said members, bottom, foam blocks and flat layer being compressible so that they fit in one or more boxes each having a shipping dimension, obtained by adding the length and the girth of said box, of no more than 130 inches.
A mattress system comprising:
- a pair of foam side members connected by a first foldable sheet, said first foldable sheet being disposed substantially at the bottom of said foam side members;
- a head foam member and a foot foam member connected by a second foldable sheet, said second foldable sheet being disposed substantially at the bottom of said head foam member and at the bottom of said foot foam member, said side members, head member and foot member being disposable with said first and second foldable sheets adjacent each other to form a cavity whose bottom is defined by the foldable sheets and whose sides are defined by the side, head and foot members;
- a set of at least two separable foam blocks sized so that the set fits within said cavity;
- a relatively flat layer dimensioned to cover the top of said cavity;
- and
- a fastening system directly connected to the flat layer, the head foam member, the foot foam member and the side foam members to fasten the flat layer to the side members and to the head and foot members so that the separable foam blocks are captured in the cavity.
A mattress component for a mattress for a human user comprising:
- a layer of foam having a top and a bottom;
- a layer of silicone rubber or viscoelastic PVC secured to the top of the foam layer;
- said foam layer and said silicone rubber or viscoelastic PVC layer being sized to receive at least a portion of a human body, and having in combination a resilience and a resistance to deformation selected to support a human body in comfort.
