Abstract
A flexible member which extends about foot high is transversely mounted at the foot end of the flat mattress for supporting bedclothes at the foot end area to reduce the pressure on the upward pointed toes when a person sleeps face-up. Detachable and/or pivotable mounting means allow the flexible member to be mounted on either side and on either end of said mattress. Further, provision may be made to allow the flexible member to be selectively positioned along the length of the mattress. The flexible member is provided with electrical heating device and thermostat control for warming up the feet area.
