Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a better way to lift, move, and transport bedroom mattresses and box springs. It shifts the lifting from the long sides to the short ends on these units. This method is comfortable and upright, reducing strain on the human body. It also reduces the need for bending, bowing, and tilting while lifting and transporting these units. This invention is especially useful for an aging population."

Mattresses and box springs have always been difficult for most persons to lift from a horizontal position to a vertical position and carry or move to another location due in part to the location of the handles as installed per most if not all manufacturers.

Abstract

A mattress sling is provided for the lifting, moving and transporting of the common bedroom mattress and box spring systems. By providing the mattress sling, the typical method of bending down to the floor, gripping the bottom of the mattress firmly with one hand, and holding one vertical end of the mattress firmly with the other hand before lifting and moving, is eliminated. By providing the mattress sling, lifting straps on the ends of the sling are located within easier reach of one's grasp effecting a better posture for the carrier persons. By providing the mattress sling, an improvement is made on the current lifting, moving and transporting of bedroom mattress and box spring systems, as implied by mattress manufacturers.
