Specifically, in this embodiment, the guide rail 4 bends and extends along a continuous S-shaped path in the intervals between the support springs 1. Of course, other forms of paths, such as spiral, annular, etc., can also be used, as long as the route of the guide rail 4 covers a certain mattress area. A slide 5 is installed on the guide rail 4, and the slide 5 is driven by a driving device so that it can move along the guide rail 4. Specifically, the cross section of the guide rail 4 is T-shaped, the lower end of its web is fixedly connected to the support layer 3, and conductive sheets 10 extending along the length direction of the guide rail 4 are provided on both sides of the web, the conductive sheets 10 are insulated and connected to the guide rail 4, and the two conductive sheets 10 are electrically connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the power supply through wires and plugs respectively; the slide seat 5 includes a sliding portion that is slidably connected to the upper side of the wing plate of the guide rail 4, and the two sides of the sliding portion extend downward and bend in the direction close to the web to form two opposite mounting portions, and the driving device is installed in the mounting portion; wherein, in the mounting A mounting groove is provided on the upper side of the part, and the driving device includes two driving motors 11 and two driving wheels 12 respectively installed in the two mounting grooves. The rotating shaft of the driving wheel 12 is connected to the driving motor 11, and the wheel surface thereof extends out of the mounting groove and contacts with the lower side of the wing plate.
