Mattress having an enlarged sleeping surface area

A mattress comprising:

• an upper surface;
• a lower surface opposite the upper surface;
• first and second opposing end surfaces extending between the upper surface and the lower surface;
• first and second opposing side surfaces extending between the upper surface and the lower surface and between the first and second opposing end surfaces;
• a core section formed by the upper and lower surfaces and first and second opposing core section end surfaces;
• and
• an extension extending outwardly from a side of the core section, wherein the extension is fixedly connected to or integral with the core section and the extension provides the upper surface with a greater area than the lower surface;
• wherein only the lower surface is supported by a support structure;
• and
• wherein an angle formed between the upper surface and a portion of at least one of the first and second opposing side surfaces is about 70 degrees.

A mattress comprising:

• an upper surface;
• a lower surface opposite the upper surface;
• first and second opposing side surfaces extending between the upper surface and the lower surface;
• third and fourth opposing side surfaces extending between the upper surface and the lower surface and between the first and second opposing side surfaces;
• a core section formed by the upper and lower surfaces and first and second opposing core section side surfaces and third and fourth opposing core section side surfaces;
• and
• an extension extending outwardly from one of the first, second, third, or fourth core section side surfaces, wherein the extension is fixedly connected to or integral with the core section and the extension provides the upper surface with a greater area than the lower surface;
• wherein the extension is capable of supporting a user without a support structure being positioned below the extension;
• and
• wherein at least a portion of one or more of the side surfaces is curved.
