Abstract
A composite mattress is comprised of a rectangular intermediate base with four upper sidewalls extending vertically above the base adjacent the edges of the base forming an upper cavity, four lower sidewalls extending vertically below the base adjacent the edges of the base forming a lower cavity, a spring mattress comprised of a plurality of coil springs individually encased within material pockets positioned in the lower cavity below the base, an air mattress comprised of a plurality of adjustable air cell units formed with independent air cells positioned in the upper cavity above the base, and a cover encasing the entire composite mattress.

A composite mattress comprising:
- a spring mattress comprised of a plurality of springs, the spring mattress having opposite top and bottom surfaces, opposite front and back edges defining a longitudinal length of the spring mattress therebetween and opposite left and right edges defining a lateral width of the spring mattress therebetween;
- an air cell mattress comprised of a plurality of air cells positioned above the top surface of the spring mattress, the air cell mattress is further comprised of at least one air impervious base sheet and at least one air impervious top sheet, the air impervious top sheet is preformed with the plurality of air cells and is secured to the base sheet with the air cells extending outwardly from the base sheet, the base sheet and top sheet forming an air cell unit and the air cells of the air cell unit are interconnected to permit air flow therebetween, the base sheet is generally flat and is positioned above the spring mattress with the plurality of air cells extending upwardly from the base sheet;
- and
- a cover enclosing the spring mattress and the air cell mattress.

- a spring mattress comprised of a plurality of springs, the spring mattress having opposite top and bottom surfaces, opposite front and back edges defining a longitudinal length of the spring mattress therebetween and opposite left and right edges defining a lateral width of the spring mattress therebetween;
- an air cell mattress comprised of a plurality of air cells positioned above the top surface of the spring mattress, the air cell mattress is further comprised of at least one air impervious base sheet and at least one air impervious top sheet, the air impervious top sheet is preformed with the plurality of air cells and is secured to the base sheet with the air cells extending outwardly from the base sheet, the base sheet and top sheet forming an air cell unit and the air cells of the air cell unit are interconnected to permit air flow therebetween, the air cell unit is one of a plurality of air cell units of the air cell mattress and the plurality of air cell units are positioned side-by-side above the spring mattress, the plurality of air cell units comprise three air cell units, the three air cell units are arranged longitudinally side-by-side across the spring mattress between the front and back edge, a first of the three air cell units is positioned adjacent the front edge, a second of three air cell units is positioned adjacent the back edge, and a third of the three air cell units is positioned between the first and second air cell units, the first air cell unit has a valve that can be opened and closed to allow for air to be added to or removed from the first air cell unit and the second and third air cell units have a common valve that can be opened and closed to allow for air to be added to or removed from the second and third air cell units;
- and
- a cover enclosing the spring mattress and the air cell mattress.
A composite mattress comprising:
- a rectangular intermediate base having opposite top and bottom surfaces, opposite front and back edges defining a longitudinal length of the intermediate base therebetween and opposite left and right edges defining a lateral width of the intermediate base therebetween;
- front and back upper sidewalls secured to the intermediate base adjacent the respective front and back edges of the intermediate base and left and right upper sidewalls secured to the intermediate base adjacent the respective left and right edges of the intermediate base, the front, back, left and right upper sidewalls each having a common vertical height above the intermediate base top surface and together with the intermediate base defining an upper cavity within the upper sidewalls and above the intermediate base top surface;
- a spring mattress comprised of a plurality of springs positioned below the bottom surface of the intermediate base;
- an air cell mattress comprised of a plurality of air cells positioned in the upper cavity above the top surface of the intermediate base;
- and
- a cover enclosing the spring mattress, the intermediate base, the upper sidewalls, and the air cell mattress.
