Benefits of technology

"This patent describes a mattress that is made up of independent parts that can be easily detached and replaced. The parts can be joined together using adhesive fabric or other joining means, allowing for flexibility in their placement and reducing pressure points on the body. The mattress is suitable for people who have fractures or injuries and can be adjusted to their needs. It is ventilated, promoting air circulation and cellular regeneration, and avoids the formation of wounds or suffocation in children. The parts of the mattress can be manufactured and commercialised at different times and places, making them interchangeable and easy to clean or replace. The mattress can also be covered for easy access."

Problems solved by technology

This type of mattress has the disadvantage of the wool becoming matted with use, needing backcombing every two or three years to regain consistency.
Given that the rules are not always respected, this type of material has acquired an unmerited bad reputation.
All the types of mattresses described before have the inconvenience that the main piece, the resting base is not detachable due to it being manufactured as a unique part; on the other hand, all of these mattresses offer a continuous flat surface on the area where the body is supported, however, no matter how elastic it is, it will never entirely adapt to the body.
