Abstract
The present invention relates to a mattress and neck support assembly. The mattress has a supporting surface and a head end. The neck support is fittable to the head end, and has a rigid surface, a cavity, which is defined partially by said rigid surface and is located beneath the rigid surface, and supporting means for supporting the rigid surface; the rigid surface supporting the head of a user lying on said mattress. According to the present invention, the mattress has a recess formed at the head end of the mattress. The supporting means, in use, locks the rigid surface in a work position in which the rigid surface allows the cavity to receive, through the recess, at least one upper limb of a user, the user lying on the supporting surface of mattress in a prone position or on one side.
