Mattress assembly

A safety apparatus for a bed comprised of a mattress, comprising:

• a. a first safety panel comprising
• i. A first horizontal stabilizer for placement under said mattress of said bed, wherein said mattress comprises a first width, wherein said first horizontal stabilizer comprise a second width, wherein said second width is less than about 20 per cent of said first width;
• wherein said first horizontal stabilizer comprises a synthetic polymeric material with a density of from about 1 to about 10 pounds per cubic foot;
• and wherein disposing said first horizontal stabilizer under said mattress secures said first vertically-extending panel in a substantially-vertical orientation along a side of said bed;
• ii. a first vertically-extending panel attached substantially perpendicularly to said first horizontal stabilizer, wherein said first vertically extending panel comprises a synthetic polymeric material with a density of from about 1 to about 10 pounds per cubic foot;
• wherein said first safety panel further comprises a first cutout section, wherein said first cutout section has a depth of from about 4 to about 8 inches;
• b. a second safety panel comprising
• i. a second horizontal stabilizer for placement under said mattress of said bed, wherein said second horizontal stabilizer comprises a third width, wherein said third width is less than about 20 per cent of said first width;
• wherein said second horizontal stabilizer comprises a synthetic polymeric material with a density of from about 1 to about 10 pounds per cubic foot;
• and wherein disposing said second horizontal stabilizer under said mattress secures said second vertically-extending panel in a substantially-vertical orientation along a side of said bed;
• ii. a second vertically-extending panel attached substantially perpendicularly to said second horizontal stabilizer;
• wherein said second vertically extending panel comprises a synthetic polymeric material with a density of from about 1 to about 10 pounds per cubic foot;
• wherein said second safety panel further comprises a second cutout section, wherein said second cutout section has a depth of from about 4 to about 8 inches;
• c. a mattress;
• and
• d. a cover, wherein said cover comprises a flame retardant, water-repellant material, and wherein said cover encloses said mattress, said first safety panel and said second safety panel.

A safety apparatus for a bed comprising a mattress, comprising:

• a. a first horizontal stabilizer for placement under said mattress of said bed, wherein said mattress comprises a first width, said first horizontal stabilizer comprises a second width, wherein said second width is less than about 20 per cent of said first width;
• b. a second horizontal stabilizer for placement under a mattress of said bed, wherein said second horizontal stabilizer comprises a third width, wherein said third width is less than about 20 per cent of said first width;
• c. a first vertically-extending panel attached substantially perpendicularly to said first horizontal stabilizer, wherein said first vertically extending panel extends above said mattress by at least about 4 inches and wherein said first vertically-extending panel is rotatably connected to a second vertically-extending panel;
• d. said second vertically-extending panel attached substantially perpendicularly to said second horizontal stabilizer, wherein said second vertically extending panel extends above said mattress by at least about 4 inches, and wherein said second vertically extending panel is rotatably connected to said first vertically extending panel;
• e. a first hinge;
• and
• f. wherein placement of said first and second horizontal stabilizers at least partially underneath said mattress secures said first and second vertically-extending panels in a substantially-vertical orientation along a side of said bed.
