Problems solved by technology

[0004] Although foam mattresses overcome some of the disadvantages of coil spring mattresses, they exhibit other disadvantages, including: excessive firmness, difficulty adjusting firmness, and lack of airflow through the foam core, trapping body heat within the mattress

Embodiment Construction

[0034] The embodiments of the present invention can be implemented in a plunger matrix mattress assembly provided with an array of independently movable support points, which significantly improves the body compared to a conventional spiral spring mattress design Contour profiling and support. Unlike conventional mattresses, plunger matrix mattresses provide users with improved support when they are not lying flat on the mattress. Although conventional mattresses provide support when the user is lying on their back, the support becomes uneven when the user is not lying flat, for example, when the user is lying on his side on a stack of blankets or pillows. The plunger matrix system provides a greater range of vertical offset, which enables the mattress to be properly aligned with the user's body even when the user is lying on an obstacle or otherwise in an unnatural state. Plunger matrix mattresses also allow a substantial improvement in airflow through the mattress compared t...

Abstract

A plunger for a matrix mattress includes a pin guide having a flange and a guide body extending from the flange. A pin slidably received within the pin guide includes a flange located above the flange of the pin guide and a shaft extending from the flange through the guide body. The flange of the pin carries a deformable head. A tension spring has a first end fixed to the guide body and a second end located below the guide body positioned to receive a bottom end of the pin shaft. The spring is configured to resiliently stretch with downward motion of the pin with respect to the pin guide. A dampening device captured around the shaft of the pin between the flange of the pin and the flange of the pin guide resiliently deforms with downward motion of the pin with respect to the pin guide.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to mattress components, and more specifically, to mattress components that include an array of padded plungers that can move independently. [0002] The design of standard mattresses has developed very slowly in the past fifty years. Standard mattresses usually include a set of metal coil springs either mounted on the base under the cushion or sandwiched between a pair of cushions. Then, the metal spring and the one or more pads are covered with a cotton sheath material. The entire structure is then sewn into the cloth cover and the edges are wrapped and stitched. Therefore, once the mattress is made, the parts are not replaceable. Due to the size and inherent rigidity of metal springs, spring-based mattresses exhibit a limited ability to conform to the contours of the human body, and it is extremely difficult to improve only this. Although the independent coil spring is designed to compress under the weight ...
