Benefits of technology

The invention is a body support system made up of two layers of foam with different support properties. The support system includes a housing with two separate chambers and two removable and securable support members. The first and second support members have a first foam layer and a second foam layer, respectively, while the second and fourth support members have a third foam layer and a fourth foam layer, respectively. This design allows for flexible customization of the support system based on the needs of the user.

Problems solved by technology

A single conventional body support product is thus not adjustable for use by multiple users who have a different needed or desired amount or quality of support.

Embodiment Construction

[0009]Embodiments of the invention relate to a mattress topper, also known as a pillow top mattress pad. A mattress topper is generally placed on top of an existing bed or mattress for additional comfort. The mattress topper may be covered with the same or different sheets as the existing bed or mattress. Although described herein as a mattress topper, embodiments of the invention are not limited to mattress toppers, but may include mattresses and other body support type products.

[0010]FIG. 1 illustrates a body support system 100, such as a mattress topper, according to one embodiment. The body support system 100 includes a first support member 10, a second support member 20, and an enclosure 30 for housing the first and second support members 10, 20. A user may easily insert and remove the support members 10, 20 to and from the enclosure 30 to adjust the body support system 100 as further described herein. The system 100 may be placed on top of an existing bed or mattress to provid...

Abstract

An adjustable body support system for accommodating the needed or desired support of multiple users. The system comprises an enclosure for housing a first support member and a second support member in respective first and second chambers. The first support member has a first foam layer secured to a second foam layer, wherein the first and second foam layers have different support characteristics. The second support member has a third foam layer secured to a fourth foam layer, wherein the third and fourth foam layers have different support characteristics. The first and second support members are removable from and securable in the first and second chambers, respectively.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]Embodiments of the invention relate to body support products formed from foam materials. In particular, embodiments of the invention relate to an adjustable, foam-based mattress topper.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Conventional body supports can be found in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and are often adapted for supporting one or more parts of a user's body. Examples of body supports include mattresses, pillows, and other cushion-type products. Many body supports are generally constructed out of foam materials, such as polyurethane foam. The foam materials may include visco-elastic properties, such foam materials being known in the art as “memory foam,” which provides the body support with an increased ability to conform to a user and thereby distribute the weight of the user.[0005]Although there are a multitude of foam materials that exhibit specific properties and different degrees of support, e.g...
