Specification

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to mattresses and foundations, and more particularly the present disclosure relates to a self-adjusting mattress.

BACKGROUND
A bed is a piece of furniture which is used as a place to sleep, rest, and relax. Most modern beds consist of a soft, cushioned mattress on a bed frame. Consumers, manufacturers, and distributors, each individually or as groups have many different opinions of the type of a bed and bed firmness that may provide for a comfortable resting or sleeping condition. There are many different types of beds and firmness to choose from when deciding on a bed to purchase.
In an attempt to provide users with comfortable beds, bed manufacturers may use metal springs, foam layers, solid foam blocks, water, air, or other means to provide various types of firmness to a user. These different types of bedding materials may be used individually or in combination. Beds may be available in various degrees of firmness using a combination of springs, foams and materials in various combinations may provide for firmer or less firm support to the user.
In a bed arrangement, a support is provided to act on the weight or part of the weight of a user, wherein the bed distributes the weight from the body of the user over a part of a surface of the device. Depending on how the bed distributes the weight of the user, the bed will appear as being either soft or firm.
When the person is in a lateral position, the back is not straight and a feeling of pressure is usually generated in the shoulders and buttocks, and it is not sufficient to maintain a comfortable sleeping position and often experiences a scoliosis, have back pain, or have a bent back or often feel a pressure on their shoulders or buttocks because they often have a scoliosis.
Additionally, conventional mattresses are unable to obtain proper air flow between the patient and the mattress, which increases humidity by virtue of the person sleeping. Even though great effort has been dedicated for making a mattress that provides good support and comfort, however, the present solutions are inadequate, and there exists a need for an improved mattress.
SUMMARY
In an aspect of the disclosure, a mattress is provided.
The mattress containing a soft top layer consisting either memory foam, soft foam or latex, having a thickness in a range of 25 to 50 millimeters (mm), that is adapted to distribute weight based on heat and pressure of a body of an user, a compressible channel layer mounted beneath the soft top layer, further containing, about 35 to 40 independent compressible channels, that is adapted to adjust based on shape of the user, grooves mounted between the independent compressible channels of the compressible channel layer, having a thickness in the range of 25 to 50 mm and adapted to circulate air and remove humidity from the body of the user, and a bonded foam layer mounted beneath the grooves and the compressible channel layer, having a thickness of 75 to 100 mm, and adapted to relieve pressure points based on the shape of the user. The groove compressible channel layer is adapted to relieve pressure points based on the shape of the user while grooves in between channels ensure air circulation. The mattress further contains a fabric cover adapted to encase the mattress. The soft top layer is selected from one of, memory foam, a soft foam, or a latex layer and further adapted to retain an original structure upon removal of the pressure from the body of the user. The compressible channel layer is made of hollow conjugate fibers and further adapted to preserve contact of the mattress with a contour of the shape of the user. The grooves in between channels are further adapted to regulate a temperature at the pressure points based on the shape the user. The bonded foam is further adapted to brace the shape of the user and enable the mattress to realize firmness.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED ASPECTS
The aspects herein and the various features and advantageous details thereof are explained more fully with reference to the non-limiting aspects that are illustrated in the accompanying drawings and detailed in the following description. Descriptions of well-known components and processing techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the aspects herein. The examples used herein are intended merely to facilitate an understanding of ways in which the aspects herein may be practiced and to further enable those of skill in the art to practice the aspects herein. Accordingly, the examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the aspects herein.
The term “weight”, “pressure” and “pressure point”, and any other such terms are used to indicate the downward force against the mattress by virtue of a user utilizing the mattress.
The term “heat” and “temperature”, any other such terms indicate a heat emanating from a body of the user utilizing the mattress.
The term “humidity” indicates the loss or emission of water in the form of perspiration, by the user.
The term “original structure” indicates the shape of the mattress before its utilization by the user.
The term “contour” indicates the mould of a shape of the user’s body.
The term “firmness” indicates the rigidity of the structure of an object i.e. the mattress.
As mentioned, there is a need for the development of a mattress capable of adjusting to the shape of a user while maintaining temperature and humidity regulation, without compromising firmness.
The aspect herein overcome the limitations of the prior art by providing a mattress (100) with orthopaedic properties and temperature regulation.
FIG. 1 illustrates a lateral view of a mattress (100) and its constituents, in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure. The mattress (100) contains a soft top layer (101), a compressible channel layer (102), grooves (103) and a bonded foam layer (104).
The soft top layer (101) is mounted above the compressible channel layer (102) with grooves (103) mounted between the independent compressible channels of the compressible channel layer (102). A bonded foam layer (104) is mounted beneath the grooves (103).
FIG. 2 illustrates the lateral view of the mattress (100) of FIG. 1 under pressure from the body of the user, in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure.
The soft top layer (101) distributes weight based on heat and pressure of the body of a user. In one aspect, the user is an individual who might have ailments of the back.
The soft top layer (101) has a thickness in a range of 25 to 50 millimetres (mm). The heat and pressure from the user’s body enables the soft top layer (101) to change the shape of the soft top layer (101) in order to fit the body and evenly distribute the weight. The alteration of the soft top layer (101) enables the layer to realize the attenuation of impact, which aids in the prevention of injuries during sudden jumps/ falls on the bed.
In one aspect, the soft top layer (101) is selected from one of, a memory foam, a soft foam, or a latex layer.
In one aspect, the soft top layer (101) contains a quilting of a fabric with the soft foam or the memory foam, having a thickness in the range of 10 to 25 mm.
In one aspect, the soft top layer (101) is present on both, the top of the compressible channel layer (102) and beneath the bonded foam layer (104).
In one aspect, the soft top layer is capable of retaining an original structure upon removal of the pressure of the body of the user e.g. when the user gets up from the mattress (100).
The compressible channel layer (102) is adapted to self-adjust based on shape of the user.
In one aspect, the compressible channel layer (102) further contains about 35 to 40 independent cylindrical oval-shaped compressible channels fabricated from hollow conjugate fibres, mounted in a width wise manner. The compressible channels are adapted to adjust based on the immediate pressure on the channels. The degree of adjustment is directly proportional to the applied pressure.
FIG. 2 further illustrates the varying degrees of pressure, lower and higher pressure, from varying portions of the user’s body using down arrows P1 and P2 respectively. The presence of multiple independent channels enables the compressible channel layer (102) to independently adjust each channel to a specific portion of the body e.g. shoulder portion and waist portion, to provide a personalized sleeping surface to the user. The self-adjustment by the compressible channels causes minimum accumulation of stress on the back of the user, ensuring smooth blood circulation.
The grooves (103) further contain grooves between the independent compressible channels and have a thickness in the range of 25 to 50 mm. The grooves enable the circulation of air, which in turn aids in the removal of heat and humidity from the body of the user.
FIG. 2 further illustrates the release of air (A1) and intake of air (A2) for air circulation (as indicated by bent arrows). The regulation of temperature and humidity enables the body of the user to maintain a cooler temperature and provides comfort.
In another aspect, the bonded foam layer (104) has thickness of 75 to 100 mm.
In another aspect, the thickness of the bonded foam layer (104) aids in providing firmness to the mattress (100), which in turn braces or supports the shape of the user to achieve firm orthopaedic back support for improved comfort and relief to spinal pain, inflammation, or joint injuries. The bonded foam layer (104) also aids in increasing the life of the mattress (100) by virtue of retaining the structure of the bonded foam layer (104) over a long period of time.
The mattress (100) is encased in a fabric cover (105). In another aspect, the fabric cover (105) may be water resistant to avoid damage by way of liquid spillage.
In another aspect, the fabric cover (105) is removable and washable.
The mattress provides improved comfort and relief during sleep to the user by relieving pressure, regulating temperature, and adjusting to each portion of the body of the user without compromising the firmness of the mattress. The attenuation of impact by the soft top layer prevents injury or discomfort during sudden movements or impact with the mattress. The independent adjust of each of the compressible channels to fit different portions of the body ensures smooth blood flow circulation to each of the said portions of the body. The circulation of air helps remove heat and humidity radiating from the body of the user to provide cooler and comfortable contact with the mattress. The bonded foam layers provide firmness to support the body while ensuring relaxation of muscles of the body of the user.
