Abstract
Method to manufacture a personalised mattress (1) from a basic part (2) with a recess (2) and inserts (3, 4, 5), which comprises the following steps: determination of the anthropometric data of a person; determination of the optimum distances over which the mattress (1) has to be deformed in a number of positions so that the spine of the person in this position has the same shape, insofar possible, as when the person is standing upright; determination of the deformation characteristics that a mattress (1) must have at these positions; selection of inserts (3, 4, 5); fitting of the inserts (3, 4, 5) in the basic part (2).
Claims15
A method to manufacture a mattress that is adapted to a specific person, and that is manufactured from a base part provided with a recess and selectively chosen inserts that fit in the recess comprising the steps:
- determining anthropometric data of a person, at least insofar the data relate to the zone from the shoulders to the hips of the person;
- determining the optimum distances over which the mattress has to be deformed locally in a number of positions between the hips and shoulders of the person when the person is lying on it sideways so that the shape of the spine of the person lying on the mattress corresponds as much as possible to the shape of the spine when the person is standing upright;
- determining the deformation characteristics that a mattress must have at these positions, so that the mattress at least approximately minimally deforms over the determined optimum distances when the person is lying on the mattress;
- selecting inserts to be used from a list or stock of possible inserts, which in combination with the base part at least minimally approximately have the desired deformation characteristics at said positions;
- and fitting the selected inserts in recesses provided in the base part at said positions.
