Description

[0001] The invention relates to an upholstered attachment for a headboard of a bed, comprising a substantially L-shaped upholstered body forming a retaining part and an upholstered part, and a cover for the upholstered body.

[0002] It is well known that good sleep is one of the most important factors for good health. It is also generally accepted that the sense of smell influences sleep. For example, aromatherapy with certain scents can promote better sleep, make waking up in the morning easier, and even encourage more positive dreams.

[0003] Among the well-known methods for delivering fragrance to sleeping people in a room as aromatherapy is the indirect inhalation method, in which fragrances are mixed with air. Typically, fragrance-enriched oil is heated in a diffuser unit to evaporate and subsequently be distributed throughout the room. Heating is usually achieved using heat sources such as candles or electric heating elements. However, a disadvantage of this method is that heat sources pose a hazard, especially for sleeping individuals, which is why such devices are usually switched off before bedtime.

[0004] An example of such an unsuitable electrically heated diffuser device from the prior art is disclosed in DE 202016104898 U1.

[0005] Alternatively, decorative cushions could be filled with herbs such as lavender or chamomile and placed on the bed. However, this has the disadvantage that these cushions lie loosely in the bed, meaning there is no predefined position. The sleeper might, for example, move such cushions to the foot of the bed or even throw them out. Another problem is that such cushions could be overfilled, which could actually negatively impact sleep quality.

[0006] Another solution for scenting sleeping persons is known from DE202023102851U1, in which a niche is incorporated into the headboard of a bed into which fragrance material is placed. However, this has the disadvantage that a new bed must be provided if scenting is desired.

[0007] German patent DE202023102851U1 further teaches that pillows containing the fragrance can be placed in the recesses. However, this has the disadvantage that precise dosage is not possible, as the pillow must be sprinkled with a liquid fragrance, for example. Furthermore, the disadvantage remains that a completely new bed with a special headboard featuring recesses must be provided.

[0008] US patent 8312575 B1 depicts a crib with toys hanging from one side. However, externally protruding elements like the toys shown can pose a hazard to small children.

[0009] EP 2198942 A1 shows a children's toy with a pocket into which a fragrance carrier material can be inserted. However, the toy does not have a fixed position in the crib, meaning it can also be kicked at the foot of the bed. It is evident that this toy does not allow for a well-defined dosage of the fragrance.

[0010] The object of the invention is therefore to provide a device that overcomes the aforementioned disadvantages. Primarily, a device should be provided that is suitable for delivering precisely dosed aromatherapy in a safe manner.

[0011] According to the invention, the present problem is solved by providing a cushion attachment for a headboard of a bed, comprising a cushion body, a cover for the cushion body and means for suspending the cushion body (6) on the headboard (2), wherein the cushion attachment further comprises a fragrance pouch for receiving a fragrance carrier material, wherein the fragrance carrier material is preferably a sleep-promoting fragrance carrier material, in particular chamomile, lavender or Swiss pine, wherein a pocket is provided between the cover and the cushion body in which the fragrance pouch can be arranged, wherein the cover has an outer wall of the pocket in the area of ​​the pocket for releasing a fragrance of the fragrance carrier material to the outside.

[0012] The upholstery attachment according to the invention makes it possible to retrofit a large number of existing beds, in particular those with essentially flat headboards, to provide a fragrance in a well-defined manner. In particular, the existing headboards do not need to be modified or replaced, e.g., with headboards that include niches to accommodate a fragrance cushion.

[0013] A particular advantage of the upholstered cushion according to the invention is that it can be manufactured with only a few elements: the cushion body, the cover, the scented sachet, and optionally, the means for hanging it on the headboard of the bed, if these are not already part of the cushion body or cover. The cushion body and the cover are designed to be complementary in such a way that a space, i.e., a pocket, is provided at one point between the cushion body and the cover, into which the scented sachet can be inserted. At all other points, the cover preferably fits snugly against the cushion body. The scented sachet is, in turn, complementary to the pocket located between the cover and the cushion body; that is, the dimensions of the scented sachet preferably correspond substantially to the dimensions of the pocket created. In general, however, the scented sachet could also be smaller than the pocket and, for example, occupy only half the volume of the pocket.when a lower fragrance release is desired.

[0014] Furthermore, a special feature of the upholstered cushion according to the invention is that it has no outwardly protruding elements such as attached fragrance sachets. The upholstered cushion according to the invention can therefore have the appearance of a conventional cushion for a bed's headboard. At the same time, however, the upholstered cushion according to the invention offers both the function of a headrest and the function of controlled and well-dosed fragrance release.

[0015] Because the outer wall of the pocket forms a well-defined opening for the fragrance to escape, the dosage and release of the fragrance can be precisely controlled. For example, a distinction can be made between a general fragrance release into the room and a targeted release to a person lying on the bed. However, a general fragrance release is not always desirable and can also lead to limited fragrance release to the person on the bed or an undesirably high consumption of fragrance material. These problems are solved by the pocket's outer wall, which allows the fragrance to escape from the pillow attachment only through a well-defined area.

[0016] The means provided in the upholstery attachment according to the invention for suspending the upholstered element on the headboard ensure that the upholstered element always occupies a fixed, predetermined position on the bed, regardless of whether a person is lying on the bed or not. In particular, it can be achieved that the upholstered element does not rest on the mattress, so that a gap exists between the upholstered element and the mattress. In some embodiments, the pocket can be located on the underside or inside of the upholstered element, allowing the fragrance to be released essentially vertically downwards, which is only made possible by suspending the upholstered element on the headboard.

[0017] Generally, the means for suspending the upholstered body are understood to be those suitable for suspending the upholstered body, or a part thereof (referred to herein as the upholstered part), from a top surface of the headboard. If the upholstered body is entirely plate-shaped, it can subsequently be suspended substantially vertically and / or substantially parallel to the headboard. If the upholstered body has a plate-shaped upholstered part, this part can be suspended substantially vertically and / or substantially parallel to the headboard.

[0018] It is particularly preferred if the outer wall of the pocket is arranged (only) on one narrow side of the upholstered body in the area of ​​the upholstery section. In its intended use, i.e., when the upholstered attachment is on the headboard, the narrow side of the upholstered body faces downwards towards the person lying on the bed. This allows for a particularly targeted release of fragrance to the person. The outer wall of the pocket can extend over the entire narrow side or only over a portion of it, e.g., over 60% of the narrow side.

[0019] In another embodiment, the outer wall of the pocket could be arranged (only) on one outer surface of the upholstered part. It is preferred that the outer wall of the pocket occupies a maximum of 20% or a maximum of 10% of this outer surface. Furthermore, it is preferred that the outer wall of the pocket be located at the very bottom or at least in the lower third of this outer surface, as seen in its intended use. This still allows for targeted fragrance release to a person lying on the bed, although not as effectively as in the aforementioned embodiment. Furthermore, depending on the material chosen for the outer wall of the pocket, this embodiment results in a slightly altered visual appearance of the upholstered part.

[0020] In another preferred embodiment, the upholstered body has a recess on an inner side in the area of ​​the upholstered part (the inner side being defined here as the side facing the headboard of the bed when the upholstered attachment is hung on the headboard), and the outer wall of the pocket is arranged on an inner side of the upholstered body in the area of ​​the recess. In other words, the outer wall of the pocket lies parallel to the headboard but at a distance from it, so that the fragrance can be released outwards and directed through the recess towards the person lying on the bed. This embodiment has essentially the same advantages as the first-mentioned embodiment, although the design of the elements may be more complex due to the additional recess.Moreover, there is the advantage that the visual impression is altered even less and, if necessary, a larger outer wall of the bag can be used, since the size is not limited by the narrow side.

[0021] It is particularly advantageous if the outer wall of the bag is designed as a mesh. This allows for especially efficient fragrance release from the bag. For example, the mesh forms holes with a surface area of ​​0.1 mm². 2 up to 5 mm 2 However, other configurations of the mesh could of course be provided. Alternatively, the outer wall of the bag could be designed as a breathable textile without visible holes.

[0022] Particularly preferred is the covering in all areas outside the outer wall of the bag being made of a different material than that used on the outer wall, preferably an airtight material such as synthetic leather or genuine leather. It is thus evident that this upholstered cover offers considerable design flexibility in terms of its visual appearance without impairing its functional properties.

[0023] It is also preferred if the upholstery core is manufactured as a single piece of foam. This allows for a particularly cost-effective design of the upholstery core, which also dictates the shape of the upholstered insert.

[0024] Typically, the pocket is positioned directly next to the outer wall of the bag, allowing for easy fragrance release to the outside. Alternatively, the pocket could be spaced away from the outer wall, with at least one air distribution channel within the cushion section connecting the pocket to the outer wall. This allows for preferred pocket placements, such as in the center of the cushion insert, without restricting the choice of the outer wall. Furthermore, the air distribution channels can be designed with a small cross-section, enabling the manufacturer of the cushion insert to pre-limit the fragrance release. For example, the air distribution channels could be cylindrical or rectangular with a cross-section of 1 mm². 2 up to 100 mm 2 or 10 mm 2 up to 50 mm 2 exhibit these values, although deviations from these values ​​are of course possible.

[0025] Preferably, the scented pouch is designed to be opened and closed for changing the fragrance carrier material, preferably by means of a zipper. This allows the user to independently replace the fragrance carrier material or change it for another and is not dependent on buying new scented pouches from specific manufacturers. This significantly reduces waste.

[0026] In one version, the pocket could be permanently closed, for example, if the cover is sewn all the way around, so that the fragrance pouch cannot be removed from the cushion insert. In a particularly preferred embodiment, however, the cover has a pocket opening through which the pocket can be opened and closed to change the fragrance pouch, the pocket opening preferably being formed by a zipper. Thus, the cover has a closable opening through which the pocket is selectively accessible. The pocket opening can be designed such that the cushion insert cannot be removed from it, meaning that the cushion insert is either permanently contained within the cover or can only be removed through a different opening.

[0027] Particularly preferred are the means for suspending the upholstered body on the headboard in such a way that the upholstered body is essentially L-shaped and forms a retaining element and an upholstery element. The cover will have a shape so that it can be pulled over the essentially L-shaped upholstered body. This embodiment has the advantage that the upholstered attachment comprises as few parts as possible, since the means for suspending it are directly integrated into the upholstered body.

[0028] To prevent the upholstered headboard attachment from unintentionally falling forward onto the person lying on the bed, the aforementioned embodiment can further include at least one safety element. The upholstered part and the safety element are positioned on opposite sides of the retaining part to accommodate the headboard between the upholstered part and the safety element. This allows the upholstered headboard attachment to be clamped onto the headboard. Alternatively or additionally, other, preferably releasable, securing devices could be used to secure the upholstered headboard attachment to the headboard, for example, by attaching part of a hook-and-loop fastener to the headboard (preferably its upper surface) and the corresponding part of the hook-and-loop fastener to the upholstered headboard attachment at the appropriate location.

[0029] As an alternative to the L-shaped upholstery, it could also be essentially flat. The means of suspension can be provided by rigid hooks or flexible straps attached to the top of the upholstery or cover. If the rigid hooks or flexible straps are attached to the upholstery, they typically pass through holes in the cover. The rigid hooks themselves are usually L-shaped so they can grip the retaining element, as described above for the safety features. If flexible straps are used, the head section usually has complementary eyelets to which the straps can be attached.

[0030] The invention thus provides a bed comprising a bed frame and an upholstered headboard according to one of the aforementioned embodiments, wherein the bed frame includes the headboard, which has a top surface and a preferably flat front surface, and wherein the upholstered headboard is attached to the bed frame such that the retaining element rests on the top surface of the headboard and the upholstered element rests on the front surface of the headboard. The cover is, of course, located between the retaining element and the top surface, and between the upholstered element and the front surface.

[0031] Advantageous and non-restrictive embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the figures. Fig. Figure 1 shows a bed with a headboard and a cushion attachment for controlled fragrance release. Fig. Figure 2 shows a cushion body of a cushion attachment according to the invention for metered fragrance release. Fig. Figure 3 shows a cover of a cushion attachment according to the invention for metered fragrance release. Fig. Figure 4 shows a cushion attachment according to the invention, in which the cushion body is made of Fig. 2 in the coating of Fig. 3 is located. Fig. Figure 5 shows a scented bag for a cushion attachment according to the invention. The Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9 to Fig. Figure 10 shows further embodiments of the upholstery attachment according to the invention, each with a different arrangement of the pocket. Fig. Figure 11 shows another embodiment of the upholstery attachment according to the invention.

[0032] Fig. Figure 1 shows a bed 1 with a bed frame comprising a headboard 2 and a frame 3 containing a mattress 4. The headboard 2 is essentially flat and typically does not include any recesses, so that the headboard 2, at least in the area above the frame 3, can be formed by a simple panel. The headboard 2 has an essentially horizontal top surface O and an essentially vertical front surface V facing the frame 3 and the mattress 4, respectively.

[0033] Furthermore, it shows Fig. 1. A cushion attachment 5 can be placed on the headboard 2. The cushion attachment 5 is essentially L-shaped and has an essentially horizontal section for resting on the top surface O of the headboard 2 and an essentially vertical section that rests on the front surface V of the headboard 2. The essentially vertical section and the essentially horizontal section are thus essentially perpendicular to each other, forming the L-shape. The essentially horizontal section serves to support the cushion attachment 5 on the bed 1. The essentially vertical section serves to provide a headrest for a person, for example, sitting at the bed 1.

[0034] In Fig. Figure 1 further indicates a direction along the length L, a direction along the height H, and a direction along the width B of the bed 1. These directions can also be applied to the upholstered attachment 5, so it can be said that the upholstered attachment 5 – in its intended use – also extends along the direction of length L, along the direction of height H, and along the direction of width B. Along the direction of width B, the upholstered attachment 5 is bounded by two end faces.

[0035] The upholstery attachment 5 according to the invention has at least three components, namely an upholstery body 6 ( Fig. 2), a coating 7 ( Fig. 3) and a scented sachet 10 ( Fig. 5) The upholstery body 6 forms the basic structure of the upholstery attachment 5, which is therefore also essentially L-shaped. For this purpose, the upholstery body 6 forms a retaining element 8 and an upholstery element 9, which are essentially perpendicular to each other. The retaining element 8 is intended to form the basic structure of the aforementioned horizontal section in order to fulfill the support function, and the upholstery element 9 is intended to form the vertical section in order to fulfill the function of the headrest.

[0036] The retaining part 8 and the upholstery part 9 can, for example, be separate components, possibly with interlocking elements to define their relative position to each other and thus specify the L-shape. Alternatively, the upholstery body 6 could also be manufactured in one piece, i.e., the retaining part 8 and the upholstery part 9 are each parts of a single structure.

[0037] At this point, the term "L-shape" or "L-shaped" should be addressed. This refers to two essentially perpendicular legs, e.g., the retaining part 8 and the upholstery part 9, the vertical and horizontal section of the upholstery attachment 5 described above ( Fig. 1) or the respective legs of the cover 7 ( Fig. 3) The L-shape is understood in a cross-section perpendicular to the direction running along the broad side B. The L-shape forms two narrow sides S1, S2, two outer sides A1, A1 and two inner sides I1, I2 (only in the Fig. 2, Fig. (Note 3, but this also applies to the other figures). The outer sides A1, A2 are longer than their respective opposite inner sides I1, I2, which is due to geometric considerations regarding the L-shape. The outer sides A1, A2 face away from the head section 2, and the inner sides I1, I2 face towards the head section 2. Each short side S1, outer side A1, and inner side I2 are located at the support section 8. Furthermore, each short side S2, outer side A2, and inner side I2 are located at the support section 8. The two outer sides A1, A2 can be the same length or different lengths. Likewise, the two inner sides I1, I2 and / or the two short sides S1, S2 can be the same length or different lengths. Due to the L-shape, each short side S1, S2 is opposite the outer side A1, A2 of the other leg.

[0038] The term "essentially" L-shaped means that minor deviations may occur, e.g., due to a cutout for a pocket 50 or for a safety element, see below. In particular, from Fig. Figure 2 shows that the upholstered body 6 does not usually form a perfect L-shape, but may have a recess which, in combination with the cover 7, later forms a pocket 50. As can be seen from the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 to Fig. As can be seen in Figure 4, the upholstery attachment 5, the upholstery body 6 and the cover 7 can be considered to be essentially L-shaped and thus also define the two narrow sides S1, S2, two outer sides A1, A1 and two inner sides I1, I2.

[0039] Fig. Figure 3 shows the cover 7, which is complementary to the cushion body 6. The cover 7 is generally designed to fit snugly against the cushion body 6, except in the area of ​​the pocket 50 to be formed. In the illustrated embodiment of the Fig. 3 The cover 7 has a perfect L-shape in a cross-section normal to the direction along the broad side B, so that the upholstery attachment 5 will also form a perfect L-shape when the cover 7 is located over the upholstery body 6.

[0040] The cover 7 is usually a textile, a fabric, a leather such as imitation or genuine leather, a plastic, or something similar. Only in the area of ​​the bag 50 being trained (or in another area, see Fig. 7) The covering is usually made of a different material and / or has a different structure. This area is called the outer pocket wall 51 and forms an air-permeable surface for releasing a fragrance carrier material located in the pocket 50. The outer pocket wall 51 is in the Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9 to Fig. 10 is shown as a dotted area. If the cover 7 is made entirely of an air-permeable material, the same material can also be used for the outer wall of the pocket 51 as for the rest of the cover 7.

[0041] Fig. Figure 4 shows the upholstery attachment 5, with the cover 7 positioned over the upholstery body 6. It is evident that the cover 7 fits snugly against the upholstery body 6 everywhere except in the area of ​​the pocket 50 to be created. This allows a space (also called a recess or cavity) to be created in this area between the cover 7 and the upholstery body 6, forming the pocket 50 in which the Fig. The bag 50 is thus limited on one side by the padded body 6 and on the other side by the cover 7. The scented bag 50 is shown in section 5 and is designed to hold the scented bag 10.

[0042] To insert the fragrance pouch 10 into the pocket 50, the cover 7 can be designed to open, for example, by having a zipper, Velcro closure, or similar fastener in the area of ​​the pocket 50. This opening in the cover is also referred to as the pocket opening 52. Typically, the pocket opening 52 is designed such that the padding 6 cannot be removed from the cover 7 through the pocket opening 52. In other words, the padding 6 remains permanently inside the cover 7 and cannot be removed from it (provided the cover 7 is not cut, damaged, or otherwise tampered with). The cover can, for example, be sewn over the padding 6. Alternatively, the pocket opening 52 could be designed to be large enough—or there could be an additional opening alongside the pocket opening 52—to allow the padding 6 to be removed from the cover 7.

[0043] The aforementioned scented sachet 10, which is in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 5, the fragrance sachet is typically a breathable textile containing a fragrance carrier material, such as a sleep-inducing fragrance carrier material, chamomile, lavender, or Swiss pine. The fragrance sachet 10 thus forms a cavity in which the fragrance carrier material can be contained. The fragrance sachet 10 may have an opening that can be opened and closed, such as a zipper or Velcro fastener, through which fragrance carrier material can be inserted into and removed from the fragrance sachet 10 or the cavity enclosed by the fragrance sachet 10.

[0044] In the embodiment of the Fig. 2, Fig. 3 to Fig. In this embodiment, the pocket 50 is located in a corner area between the narrow side S2 and the inner side I2 of the upholstery part 9, i.e., on the inside of the narrow side S2 opposite the retaining part 8. The pocket 50 extends only over a portion of the narrow side S2 and only over a portion of the inner side I2 of the upholstery part 9. Preferably, the pocket 50 extends over an area of ​​up to 60% of the narrow side S2. In this embodiment, it is further provided that the outer wall 51 of the pocket is located on the cover 7 in the area of ​​the pocket 50 only on the narrow side S2 and not on the inner side I2. This allows the fragrance to be released downwards in a targeted manner towards the head of a person lying on the bed 1.

[0045] Furthermore, it is from the Fig. 2, Fig. 3 to Fig. As can be seen in Figure 4, the pocket 50 extends over the entire width B (i.e., over the entire length in the direction of the broad side) and therefore passes through the end faces of the upholstered body 6. The end faces of the upholstered body 6 are those that are spaced apart from each other in the direction of the broad side. However, this is not mandatory, as the pocket 50 could also be spaced from one or both end faces and thus be located inside the upholstered body 6, see Figure 4. Fig. 6. Here it is shown that the pocket 50 extends over the entire narrow side S2, i.e., from the inside I2 to the outside A2. However, this is not mandatory, as the pocket 50 could also be spaced from the inside I2 and / or the outside A2. All these variants are also present in the embodiment of Fig. Applicable to 2 to 4 or 7 to 10.

[0046] Fig. Figure 7 shows an embodiment in which the pocket 50 is present only on the inner side I2, but not on the narrow side S2. In other words, the pocket 50 is spaced apart from the underside of the cushion attachment 5. However, it is still possible for the outer wall 51 of the pocket to be present on the narrow side S2, for example, if air distribution channels 53 are present that run from the pocket 50 to the outer wall 51 of the pocket, as shown in Figure 7. Fig. Figure 7 is shown. For simplicity, the covering 7 can be designed as an air-permeable material, e.g., as a mesh, along its entire narrow side S2, with fragrance only escaping from the area at the openings of the air distribution ducts 53. Alternatively, the air-permeable material of the covering 7 could be limited to the openings of the air distribution ducts 53.

[0047] Alternatively, the air distribution channels 53 could also lead from the pocket 50 to the outside A2. The number and cross-section of the air distribution channels 53 can be chosen essentially arbitrarily in all embodiments, and practical tests can determine how many and how large air distribution channels 53 are needed to ensure good transfer of the fragrance to the outside.

[0048] Fig. Figure 8 shows an embodiment in which the outer wall of the pocket 51 can be located on an inner side I2. Here, the cushioning body 6 can be essentially the same as in Fig. 2 must be executed. In contrast to Fig. 3 includes the coating 7 of Fig. 8, however, also has a recess, so that the cover 7 is spaced away from both the headboard 2 and the upholstered body 6. The space between the cover and the upholstered body 6 allows the pocket 50 to be formed here. The space between the cover and the headboard 2 allows the outer wall 51 of the pocket to be located on the inside S2, while still allowing the fragrance emanating from the outer wall 51 of the pocket to flow downwards onto a person lying on the bed 1.

[0049] The Fig. 9 and Fig. Figure 10 shows embodiments in which the outer wall of the pocket 51 is located on the outer surface A2. In Fig. 9 the pocket 50 is spaced from the end faces, which allows the cushion body 6 to have good rigidity along the entire height H direction. However, this is not strictly necessary, as shown from Fig. 10 shows that the cover 7 is simply longer in the direction of height H than the upholstered body 6.

[0050] Returning to the pocket opening 52, it should be noted that this is usually located on the outer surface A1 of the cover 7, meaning that it is not visible during the intended use of the cushion attachment 5. The pocket opening 52 is preferably U-shaped and extends along three sides of the pocket 50, allowing a section of the cover 7 to be folded out.

[0051] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 10, the upholstered attachment 5 can further include a safety strip 10 that runs essentially parallel to the upholstered part. The upholstered part and the safety strip 10 are positioned on opposite sides of the retaining part to hold the headboard 2 between the upholstered part and the safety strip 10, thus clamping the headboard 2 between these two elements and preventing the upholstered attachment 5 from falling towards the mattress 4. However, the safety strip 10 could also be designed differently, for example, as one or more flat elements; that is, the safety strip 10 does not have to be continuous. In general, therefore, one can speak of safety elements.

[0052] In Fig. The safety strip 10 is formed by an elongated element attached to the cover 7. This could, for example, be a rigid element such as a sheet of metal. Alternatively, the cushion body 6 and the cover 7 could also form the vertical extension in this area to create the safety element. This slight deviation from the L-shape is still referred to as "essentially L-shaped".

[0053] It goes without saying that the safety element can also be used in all other embodiments and is not limited to those of Fig. It is limited to 10.

[0054] In all the embodiments described above, the upholstered attachment 5 had an overall L-shape, which is essentially determined by the L-shape of the upholstered body 6. This allows the upholstered attachment 5 to be suspended from the headboard 2.

[0055] The same function can also be achieved by other means of suspending the upholstered body 6 on the headboard 2. Fig. Figure 11 shows that the upholstered body 6 can be essentially plate-shaped (with the exception of the recess for the pocket 50). The means for suspending the upholstered body 6 on the headboard 2 are formed by rigid hooks H, which are attached to a top surface of the cover 7. When considering the upholstered attachment 5 as a whole, the pockets 50 and the means for suspending it are located on opposite sides of the upholstered attachment 5. This also applies when the pockets 50 are arranged as shown in the Fig. 6, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10 are executed. However, bag 50 could also be done as in Fig. 7. In general, all embodiments described above are also applicable to Fig.11 applicable. However, the cushion body 6 does not include a retaining part 8, but only the cushion part 7 and therefore only has the inner side I2, the outer side A2 and two opposite narrow sides, one narrow side S2 of which is horizontally located on the underside of the cushion body 6 in use and the other horizontally located on the top side of the cushion body 6. The inner side I2 and the outer side A2 are each vertically oriented in use.

[0056] The rigid hooks H are designed such that the headboard 2 is held between the upholstered section and an extension of the hook H, thus clamping the headboard 2 between these two elements and preventing the upholstered section 5 from falling towards the mattress 4. One, two, or more hooks H could be provided. Alternatively, one or more flexible straps could be provided to suspend the upholstered section from the headboard 2. QUOTES INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION
