FIELD OF THE INVENTION;
The present invention relates to an orthopedic mattress which is designed such that it provides both luxurious comfort and orthopedic support to the body of the person sleeping on it

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
In modern times, due to stressful living, a good mattress is essential for sleeping which provides both support and comfort to the body of a person, making him feel relaxed and providing him with deep, comfortable and uninterrupted sleep. A mattress is a large pad for supporting the reclining body which may be used as a bed for sleeping or which may be spread on a bed for sleeping. Mattresses consist of a quilted or similarly fastened case, usually of heavy cloth, that contains hair, straw, cotton, foam, rubber etc. and may be inflatable or may have a framework of metal or plastic springs. A conventional mattress consists of two primary sections, a core or support layer and the upholstery or somfort layer which are wrapped in a thick fabric. Upholstery layers cover the mattress and provide cushioning and comfort.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Fig. 1 gives the diagrammatic representation of the different layers of the orthopedic mattress.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
The nature of the invention and the manner in which it is performed is
clearly described in the specification. The invention has various components and they are clearly described in the detailed description.
The growth and development of today's world has led to faster life. People work for long hours and remain stressed. Long hours of working in front of computers have created pains in their back and spine. Moreover, lesser physical activity, tesser time for exercising, sitting for longer hours, bad postures etc. have taken their toll on human bodies. To provide relief to these stressed bodies, many composes have made different kinds of mattresses which provide comfort to people. The regular standard mattresses are made horizontally by adding layers of different kinds of soft cushioning materials which provide comfort to the body but do pot support the body while sleeping. Sleeping on such soft mattresses provide so much comfort to the body that the person tends to sink into the mattress causing damage to his back and spine. Orthopedic mattresses are orthopedically desired mattresses which provide relief from various kinds of pains, induced in the body due to improper mattresses. Most of the orthopedic mattresses are hard as it is believed that hard best for body and back support. Normally orthopedic matbesses are made of hard cushioning materials which provide support to the body while

sleeping but do not provide any comfort to the body. Sleeping on such hard mattresses feels like sleeping on sand. None of these orthopedic mattresses have -plush or luxurious feeling. Sleeping on such regular orthopedic mattresses makes anyone feel like the sleeper is a patient or is in great pain.
Both these kinds of mattresses aren't good as one provides only comfort to the body along with causing damage to the body while the other gives support to the body and prevents damage but does not provide any kind of comfort to the body so that the person sleeping on such mattresses doesn't get comfortable and uninterrupted sleep which is essential for relieving from stress.
A good mattress is one which provides a perfect balance of comfort and support to a person sleeping on it. This perfect balance of comfort and support varies from person to person, based on the age of the person, weight of the person in relation to his height and finally the lifestyle of the person. These factors vary from person to person and thousands of combinations and degrees of balancing the comfort and support to a person sleeping on it can be prepared.
The present invention relates to mattresses providing luxurious comfort and orthopedic support to the body which are designed to provide such mousahds of combinations and the degrees of balancing the comfort and support to a person

sleeping on it. Such mattresses have an absolute plush feel in them. The orthopedic mattresses of the present invention are produced in two major steps: Step 1: In this step, the mattress shell is produced with any one from latex foam, polytirethane foam, visco-elastic foam or rubberized coir. This mattress shell has the following specifications:
The base of the mattress shell is 2" thick flat, has all four side borders, which are 3" thick and 4" high. The centre of the mattress shell has square divisions which are approximately 8" X 8" long, 3" thick and 4" high. In this invention, the side walls and the centre division walls of the mattress shell can be upto 10" high. A standard mattress shell has 7 TOWS of squares through its length and 6 tows of squares through its width. Thus the mattress shell is divided into a total of 42 square blocks.
The mattress shell of the present invention can be made in different sizes which have different dimensions. For eg., a King Size Mattress shell is of the size of 2meters in length and 1.8 meters in width, while a Queen Size Mattress is of the size of 2 meters in Length and 1.6 meters in width. A single bed size mattress shell is of the size of 2 meters length and 0.9 meters wide. However, in all these dimensions, the length wise rows of squares are always 7. The horizontal number of the rows of squares varies with the width of the mattress. A King Size Mattress

has 7 rows of squares in its length and 6 rows in its width, a queen size mattress has 7 rows of squares in its length and 5 rows of squares in its width while a single size mattress shell has 7 rows of squares in its length and 3 rows of squares is its width. The length of the mattress shell can also vary between 2 meters to 1.8 meters So the size of the square blocks also varies marginally depending on the size of the mattress shell required. However, lengthwise, a mattress shell always has 7 rows of square blocks.
Step 2: In the second step of fabricating the mattress, all the square blocks of the mattress are "orthopedically filled in" with various cushioning materials. Orthopedically filled in means, in the length of the mattress, from the seven rows of square blocks, the top two rows of square blocks and the bottom two rows of square blocks are filled in with relatively softer materials as compared with the central three rows. This is because, when a person sleeps on a mattress, the weight of his body varies. The weight of his back and hips is relatively more compared to the weight of his neck and legs. So, relatively firmer cushioning material is filled in the central three rows of the mattress due to which the heavier weight of the back and the hip is taken care of by not allowing it to sink more in the mattress, than the seek and the legs. This is the reason, the filling of the square Mocks is divided into zones of varying firmness to give a perfect alignment of the neck,

back, hips and legs. Now as the neck, back, hips and legs are at the same level, no unevenness is faced by the body eliminating the chances of pain. These square blocks can be orthopedically filled in by using cushioning specials like latex foam, polyurethane foam, visco-elastic foam, rubberized coir or springs made of steel wire or plastic.
After orthopedically filling in the square blocks, the tops of all the mattresses of the present invention are closed by using sheets of the same cushioning materials which are used for orthopedically filling the square blocks. For example, -if the blocks are filled in by latex foam, the top of the mattress is closed by using 2" thick latex foam sheet, if the blocks are filled with polyurethane foam, the top of the mattress is closed by using 2" thick polyurethane foam sheet, if the blocks are filled With visco-elastic filling, the top of the mattress is closed by using 2" visco-elastic foam sheet and if the block are filled with rubberized coir, the top of the mattress is closed by 2" thick rubberized coir sheet. However, when the square blocks are filled by springs, the top of the mattress can be closed by any of the cushioning 2" sheets mentioned above.
After these mattress shells are orthopedically filled in and closed with the top sheet, it is covered with and inner protective knitted fabric cover and then finally

the outer cover of the mattress ticking fabric. This completes the production of the mattresses.
The orthopedic mattresses of the present invention are available in different variations depending on the material used for its production. These include but are not limited to latex foam mattresses, polyurethane foam mattresses, visco-elastic foam mattresses, rubberized coir mattresses or spring mattresses.
Apart from producing the mattresses as mentioned previously, special constructions can be made in the present invention by closing the top of any of the above mentioned type of mattresses using cushioning materials like down and feather, polyester fibers, wool or cotton making them exclusive and more comfortable.
The orthopedic mattresses of the above invention are highly advantageous as they provide both luxurious comfort and orthopedic support to the person sleeping on it. These mattresses are made of square blocks filled with different materials which give support to the body. The fitting of the mattresses is done orthopedically such hat the centre part of the mattresses remain firm so that the back and hips of the person sleeping on the mattress do not sink into the mattress thereby preventing pain, induced by improper sleeping, in the body. Various filling materials can be

used in these mattresses such as latex foam, polyurethane foam, visco-elastic foam, rubberized coir, spring etc. due to which different variants of these mattresses are available providing the user with options to choose according to their requirements. Moreover exclusive variations of these mattresses are also produced using cushioning materials like down and feather, polyester fibers, wool or cotton, making these mattresses more comfortable. These mattresses are uniquely designed which have tremendous flexibility to use any kind of cushioning materials available in the world which allows to produce mattresses with an absolute customized feeling for the individuals for whom the mattresses are designed. Thus the mattresses of the present invention are orthopedically destpied with an absolute plush feel making them highly advantageous.
Although the preferred embodiment as well as the method and use have been specifically described, it should be understood that variations in the preferred embodiment could be achieved by a person skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. The invention has been described with reference to specific embodiment which is merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of fee invention as defined in the claims.
