Sleep system

Abstract

A sleep system, for providing a bed, includes a frame with cross support members coupled with a first and second panel assembly. A sleep support mechanism operationally engages the first and second panel assemblies with one another and further engages a pad to provide adjusting support to the user. The sleep support mechanism employs a cone coupled with a first and second spring, the first and second spring further coupling with the first and second panel assemblies, and the cone engaging with the pad to provide the adjustable support capability.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0011]In a still further aspect of the present invention, a method of establishing a bed is provided. The user first determines the size of the bed he or she wishes to establish. The user then establishes a sleep system in the desired bed size. A unique advantage of the present invention is the ability to be established or convert between various bed sizes.

[0012]It is a further object of the present invention to provide a sleep system which promotes a healthier sleep environment. The present invention establishes the first panel assembly and the second panel assembly as an open system of panels. The open system of panels significantly reduces the amount of germs, dust, and mites which may accumulate. It is a still further object of the present invention to provide an environmentally conscious sleep system. In order to accomplish this goal, the component features of the present invention may be composed of recyclable material.

[0013]In accordance with promoting easier transporting of the present invention, described previously, it is an object of the present invention to provide for the ability of the present invention to be packaged in transportable containers. The containers may provide for increased ease of storage of the sleep system and promote commercial success by promoting easier storage on shelves and commercial identifiers being included on the containers.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, many of the current sleep systems may not enable an operator to convert between different bed sizes, such as a twin size, queen size, and king size bed.

Further, these sleep systems may not be readily transportable by the user.

Unfortunately, this limits the supportive characteristics which a user of such sleep systems may experience from any one of these sleep systems.

Still further, these mattresses provide a closed environment within which various contaminants are given a place to nest and grow, establishing less than healthy sleep environments for the user.
