Mattress with breast support panels

Abstract

The mattress or mattress topper is a new and improved breast support device that supports breasts with two breast support panels with multifunctional uses. The mattress or mattress topper is horizontally oriented, made in standard mattress sizes and may be modified to include in various sizes and shapes. This device will assist in the support of breasts while simultaneously providing a premium sleeping surface for the spouse or partner who sleeps next to the primary user. The design embodies two rectangular insert panels. Each panel has a soft supple material on the top surface and a firm sturdy material on the bottom surface. The panels will penetrate downwardly and fill the transverse breast cavity that stretches across the respective common breast area. The reversible panels provide options for the user or users based on their support needs; to sleep on designated sides of the bed; and also give an option to transform the entire bed back to full support for guests. The soft breast support area accommodates breast implants, large breasts, or sore breasts during nursing or a post surgery condition, thus allowing primary user to lie comfortably in prone position without undo pressure to the breasts. The embodiment also allows primary user to roll over and still have back support or support while sleeping on side. The device allows the primary user's spouse or partner to concurrently rest on the same surface without any obstruction between them in the flat mattress plane as typically seen from raised pillow apparatuses or breast cushions in the prior arts.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates to a mattress or mattress topper, more specifically, one that is designed to gently support the breasts when lying in prone position with the soft supple side of a reversible panel within the preferred embodiment. [0003] After a breast augmentation, sleeping in prone position has been painful, uncomfortable, and impossible to get a proper night's rest. Finding a comfortable position to rest in face down position has been ineffectual, notwithstanding tucking arms at sides and fisting hands on the chest area above the implants to counter the pressure from the breasts to the sternum. Years of this position engendered carpal tunnel so severe, surgery on one hand was required. In a decade of seeking for a device to alleviate the pain of breasts, hands and lower back, the fruitless search led to the design of the present invention. [0004] 2.

Problems solved by technology

Female support cushions of the prior art have empty cavities that breasts may drop into when primary user is in prone position which yields no real support and most importantly without comfort.

These cavities may also cause a health risk if a woman naturally shifts to lie on the side or in supine position while sleeping.

The vacant space may cause the back to sink into the empty area that may result in back problems.

These devices give the primary user no other option except to sleep only in face down position which is an unnatural act.

In addition, the incline cushions cause the lower back to sway producing additional lower back problems.

These devices are not conducive for personal relations between couples because they prevent the spouse or partner from lying on the same horizontal plane because the primary user is raised above the surface on which the spouse or partner is resting.

Lastly, the prior art can only be used exclusively by the primary user solely in prone position has no other function for no other user.
