AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The securing assembly effectively prevents sliding of the mattress relative to the foundation, enhancing stability and reducing the need for frequent repositioning, thereby improving user comfort and foundation compatibility.

Problems solved by technology

However, after a period of normal use, mattresses may slip relative to their foundations and require repositioning.
This problem may be exacerbated in the case of an adjustable foundation.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]FIG. 1 illustrates a mattress assembly 108 according to one embodiment of the invention including a mattress 110 and a foundation 111. The foundation 111 defines first and second orthogonal axes 116, 118 oriented along the length and the width of the foundation 111, respectively, The mattress 110 illustrated in FIG. 1 includes a top surface 112 positioned to support a user and a bottom surface 114 that rests directly upon the foundation 111. The foundation 111 may include a frame, support, box-spring, or other structure suitable for supporting the weight of the mattress 110 and user(s) thereon. The mattress 110 may include one or more layers of foam material, although one or more layers of other material may be used instead or in addition to the foam layers, if desired. The material comprising one or more of the foam layers may include, for example, viscoelastic or non-viscoelastic foam, latex foam, any expanded polymer (e.g., expanded ethylene vinyl acetate, polypropylene, po...

Abstract

A mattress assembly includes a foundation that defines first and second axes oriented along the length and the width of the foundation, respectively. The mattress assembly further includes a mattress supported atop the foundation and means for securing the mattress to the foundation to inhibit sliding movement of the mattress relative to the foundation along at least one of the first and second axes.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to mattresses, and more particularly to mattress and foundation assemblies.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Conventional mattresses can be found in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Many mattresses are constructed entirely or partially out of foam material, For example, polyurethane foam is commonly used in many mattresses, pillows, and cushions, and can be used alone or in combination with other types of cushion materials. In some mattresses, viscoelastic material is used, providing the mattress with an increased ability to conform to a user and to distribute the weight of the user.[0003]Mattresses are typically supported by foundations (e.g., frames, box-springs, etc.), relying on the weight of the mattress and the resultant friction between the mattress and the foundation to prevent the mattress from moving relative to the foundation. However, after a period of normal use, mattresses may slip relative to their foundation...
