Sag stopper

Abstract

A mattress system comprising a body having a three dimensional shape; said body further having a first side and a second side, wherein said first side is configured and dimensioned to be in contact with a supportive surface, and said second side is configured and dimensioned to be in contact with the underside of a mattress and contoured to substantially match the volume of the concaveness of a mattress wherein the upper (sleeping or sitting) surface of the mattress is restored to a substantially planar surface.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to mattress system, particularly, a mattress system which minimizes the sagging of a mattress. [0002] It is known to both the consumer and the industry that a mattress will begin to sag from the first use even though it is not noticeable to the naked eye at first, yet over a period of time the sag therein becomes increasingly visible to the naked eye, but more importantly, increasingly noticeable to the human body typically manifesting itself, inter alia, in a sore back and even sleeplessness. As such, the consumer is eventually confronted with the ultimate issue of not if, but rather when to discard the mattress, and / or the mattress and box spring. Some individuals may even attempt to defer this replacement issue, for a plethora of reasons, by inserting a piece of plywood between the mattress and box spring, however, the benefit of this effort is, at best, typically limited to the mere stiffening of the mattress, and prevent...

[0014] It is a further object of the invention to provide a novel device which is of relatively noncomplex construction, inexpensive to manufacture, and easy to use.

Problems solved by technology

It is known to both the consumer and the industry that a mattress will begin to sag from the first use even though it is not noticeable to the naked eye at first, yet over a period of time the sag therein becomes increasingly visible to the naked eye, but more importantly, increasingly noticeable to the human body typically manifesting itself, inter alia, in a sore back and even sleeplessness.

Some individuals may even attempt to defer this replacement issue, for a plethora of reasons, by inserting a piece of plywood between the mattress and box spring, however, the benefit of this effort is, at best, typically limited to the mere stiffening of the mattress, and preventing the further sagging of the mattress, more succinctly, this effort merely prevents further decay of the problem, but does not entirely resolve the issue, particularly when the square footage of wood is the same or greater than that of the mattress and / or box spring.

A recent trend and development in the mattress industry has been the increase in sales of a flipless mattress, although the popularity and sales of this type of mattress is greater than the traditional mattress, issues still remain regarding sagging.

Moreover, analogously, the same problem exists in furniture items, such as couches and chairs.

For example, owners of furniture are eventually confronted with the issue of when to reupholster luster a loveseat, or discard it and replace the loveseat.
