Abstract
An inflatable bed includes an inflatable mattress that is attached to the top surface of an inflatable air box spring. An inflatable, stabilizing tube is attached to the bottom of the air box spring to provide additional stability and height by increasing the footprint of the inflatable bed. The interiors of the inflatable mattress and air box spring contain a plurality of I-beam structures arranged longitudinally to provide further support and stability. Alternatively, the inflatable mattress is separate and detachable and can be fastened to the top surface of the air box spring. An additional stabilizing tube is attached to the periphery of the top surface of the air box spring to cradle and support the detachable inflatable mattress.
Claims15
An inflatable bed comprising:
- an inflatable mattress with a top layer sealed to a bottom layer through a wall, wherein the bottom and top layers and the wall define an outer frame of the inflatable mattress;
- an inflatable box spring with a top layer sealed to a bottom layer through a wall, wherein the bottom and top layers and the wall define an outer frame of the inflatable box spring;
- and
- a stabilizing tube attached around a periphery of an outer frame of the bottom layer of the inflatable box spring to provide further stability wherein an outer periphery of the stabilizing tube is larger than the outer periphery of the inflatable box spring, and wherein an open cavity is formed between the bottom layer of the inflatable box spring and the stabilizing tube for decreasing the surface contact area between the inflatable box spring and a ground surface.
An inflatable bed comprising:
- an inflatable mattress with a top layer sealed to a bottom layer through a wall, wherein the bottom and top layers and the wall define an outer frame of the inflatable mattress and wherein the inflatable mattress includes loop fasteners disposed on the bottom surface of the inflatable mattress;
- an inflatable box spring with a top layer sealed to a bottom layer through a wall, wherein the bottom and top layers and the wall define an outer frame of the inflatable box spring;
- a first stabilizing tube attached to the periphery of an outer surface of the top layer of the inflatable box spring to provide stability to the inflatable mattress disposed on the inflatable box spring;
- and
- a second stabilizing tube attached to a periphery of an outer surface of the bottom layer of the inflatable box spring to provide further stability.
An inflatable bed for use with an inflatable mattress, comprising:
- an inflatable box spring with a top layer sealed to a bottom layer through a wall, wherein the bottom and top layers and the wall define an outer frame of the inflatable box spring;
- a first stabilizing tube attached to the periphery of an outer surface of the top layer of the inflatable box spring to provide stability to an inflatable mattress disposed on the inflatable box spring;
- and
- a second stabilizing tube attached to a periphery of an outer surface of the bottom layer of the inflatable box spring to provide further stability wherein an outer periphery of the second stabilizing tube is larger than the outer periphery of the inflatable box spring, and wherein an open cavity is formed between the bottom layer of the inflatable box spring and the second stabilizing tube for decreasing the surface contact area between the inflatable box spring and a ground surface.
