A mattress restoration assembly and method of use for filling in impressions formed into the mattress to be restored, providing additional support and improving user comfort. The mattress restoration assembly includes a mattress abutting cover member positionable on the mattress to be restored, at least one support member operationally coupled to the mattress abutting cover member; a top cover member positioned over the mattress abutting cover member and the support member; and a securing means for selectively securing the mattress restoration assembly to the mattress.
Claims11
A Mattress Restoration Assembly comprising:
- a mattress abutting cover member positionable on a mattress to be restored;
- at least one support member operationally coupleable to said mattress abutting cover member;
- a top cover member positionable over said mattress abutting cover member and said at least one support member;
- and
- a securing means operationally coupled to said mattress abutting cover member for selectively securing said mattress restoration assembly to the mattress
- a plurality of longitudinal support members, each one of said longitudinal support members being uniquely associated with a longitudinal support zone of the mattress where additional support is desires;
- wherein each one of said plurality of longitudinal support members comprises a material selected from the group of materials consisting of ploy foam, gel foam, memory foam, latex, synthetic latex, fabric pad, and thermal pad;
- wherein each one of said plurality of longitudinal support members comprises a material with an indentation load deflection coefficient corresponding to an amount of support and firmness desired for the associated longitudinal support zone;
- at least one lateral support member, each one of said lateral support members being uniquely associated with a lateral support zone of the mattress where additional support is desired;
- wherein said at least one lateral support member is adapted to provide lumbar support and is positioned substantially at a center third of the mattress;
- wherein said at least one lateral support member is adapted to provide hip support and is positioned substantially at a center third of the mattress and provides an increase in height of said mattress restoration assembly;
- wherein lateral support zones and longitudinal support zones may overlap and lateral support members and longitudinal support members may overlap each other;
- and
- wherein said securing means comprises a securing means selected from the group of restoration securing means consisting of a drawstring extending around a lower perimeter of said restoration assembly, at least one elastic member extending around said lower perimeter of said restoration assembly, a plurality of strap members extending outwardly from said restoration assembly and positionable under the mattress, and at least one portion of hook and loop fastener.
