Abstract
A system for sleep surface adjustment is described. The sleep surface is provided by a sleep support system that is configured for at least two users. The sleep surface of the sleep support system is supported by at least two fluid chambers whose pressure is independently adjustable. The fluid chambers are surrounded by an upper wall, a lower wall, and a pair of side walls; each wall has in interior and exterior surface. The system for sleep surface adjustment generally comprises a topper pad and a base pad. The topper pad is positioned above the fluid chambers and extends between the exterior surfaces of the side walls. The base pad is positioned below at least one of the fluid chambers and is used to raise that fluid chamber to a desired height if necessary.

A system for sleep surface adjustment, wherein said sleep surface is provided by a sleep support system that is configured for at least two users, wherein said sleep surface is supported by at least two fluid chambers whose pressure is independently adjustable, and wherein said two fluid chambers are surrounded by an upper wall, lower wall and a pair of side walls each having an interior and exterior, said system comprising:
- a topper pad, said topper pad positioned above said fluid chambers and extending from said exterior of one of said pair of side walls to said exterior of the other of said pair of side walls;
- and
- a cover encasing said topper pad, said upper wall, said lower wall and said pair of side walls.
A system for sleep surface adjustment, wherein said sleep surface is provided by a sleep support system that is configured for at least two users, wherein said sleep surface is supported by at least two fluid chambers whose pressure is independently adjustable, and wherein said two fluid chambers are surrounded by an upper wall, lower wall, and a pair of side walls each having an interior and an exterior, said system comprising:
- a topper pad, said topper pad positioned above said fluid chambers and extending from said exterior of one of said pair of side walls to said exterior of the other of said pair of side walls;
- and
- a base pad, wherein said base pad is positioned below at least one of said fluid chambers and is used to lift said fluid chamber to a desired height if necessary to reach said desired height.
A method for adjusting a sleep surface, wherein said sleep surface is provided by a sleep support system that is configured for at least two users, wherein said sleep surface is supported by at least two fluid chambers whose pressure is independently adjustable, and wherein said two fluid chambers are surrounded by an upper wall, lower wall, and a pair of side walls each having an interior and exterior, said method comprising the steps of:
- determining a desired height for said fluid chambers within said sleep support system;
- positioning a base pad beneath at least one of said fluid chambers;
- lifting said fluid chamber with said base pad if necessary to achieve said desired height;
- and
- placing a topper pad atop said fluid chambers, wherein said topper pad extends from said exterior of one of said pair of side walls to said exterior of the other of said pair of side walls.
A system for sleep surface adjustment, wherein said sleep surface is provided by a sleep support system that is configured for a least two users, wherein said sleep surface is supported by a least two fluid chambers whose pressure is independently adjustable, and wherein said two fluid chambers are surrounded by an upper wall, a lower wall and a pair of side walls each having an interior and exterior, said system comprising:
- a topper pad, said topper pad positioned above said fluid chambers and extending from said exterior of one of said pair of side walls to said exterior of the other of said pair of side walls;
- a cover encasing said topper pad, said upper wall, said lower wall and said pair of side walls;
- and
- a base pad positioned below at least one of said fluid chambers and used to raise said fluid chamber to a desired height if necessary to reach said desired height, said base pad comprising an additional fluid chamber.
A system for sleep surface adjustment, wherein said sleep surface is provided by a sleep support system that is configured for at least two users, wherein said sleep surface is supported by at least two fluid chambers whose pressure is independently adjustable, and wherein said two fluid chambers are surrounded by an upper wall, lower wall, and a pair of side walls each having an interior and an exterior, said system comprising:
- a topper pad, said topper pad positioned above said fluid chambers and extending from said exterior of one of said pair of side walls to said exterior of the other of said pair of side walls;
- and
- a base pad comprising an additional fluid chamber, wherein said base pad is positioned below at least one of said fluid chambers and is used to lift said fluid chamber to a desired height if necessary to reach said desired height.
A method for adjusting a sleep surface, wherein said sleep surface is provided by a sleep support system that is configured for at least two users, wherein said sleep surface is supported by at least two fluid chambers whose pressure is independently adjustable, and wherein said two fluid chambers are surrounded by an upper wall, lower wall, and a pair of side walls each having an interior and exterior, said method comprising the steps of:
- determining a desired height for said fluid chambers within said sleep support system;
- positioning a base pad comprising an additional fluid member beneath at least one of said fluid chambers;
- lifting said fluid chamber with said base pad if necessary to achieve said desired height;
- and
- placing a topper pad atop said fluid chambers, wherein said topper pad extends from said exterior of one of said pair of side walls to said exterior of the other of said pair of side walls.
