Abstract
Description
[0001] There are many different mattresses with varying foam densities, sizes, heights, and expansion slots. A wide variety of specialized pillows are also used to find the right sleeping position. Sleeping on your stomach is particularly challenging. This often involves twisting the neck, leading to tension or pain during sleep or upon waking. For stomach sleepers, the prone position is essential for healthy sleep. Snoring is also often exacerbated when sleeping on your back. This specially designed mattress improves sleep in the prone position through optimized head and foot support. It can also reduce snoring.
[0002] The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem of creating a mattress in which, with the help of a head insert in the mattress and the shape for the feet placed in the stomach position, a better sleeping position and thus better sleep is obtained.
[0003] This problem is solved by the features listed in claim 1.
[0004] The invention enables a person lying prone to rest their head on the headrest without twisting it, or only minimally, and to breathe through the air channel. Due to the special foam coating, this removable head insert, as described in claim 2, can be removed from the mattress and cleaned. It is also possible to place cloths or rags in the head insert to absorb saliva and nasal secretions. The contoured edges in the upper part of the head insert provide soft, contoured support for the head. This ensures that the nose has ample space, even when lying prone. The foot inserts, as described in claim 3, are also removable to accommodate different user sizes. These foot inserts are secured with notches and can be individually removed and adjusted.
[0005] For proper use, a mattress cover and a bed cover are also required as protection claims 4 and 5 with a cutout for the headrest.
[0006] An embodiment of the invention is described with reference to the Fig. 1 to 5 explained. They show: Fig. 1 Top view of a stomach sleeper mattress with head and foot inserts Fig. 2 Top view of a stomach sleeper mattress without head and foot sections Fig. 3 Top view of mattress and bed cover with cut-out and sewn headboard opening Fig. 4 head insert Fig. 5 foot insertion
[0007] In the Fig. Figure 3 shows the representations of the mattress and the bed cover combined and shown together, since the bed cover lies on top of the mattress cover.
[0008] Regarding the mattress Fig. 1 includes a head (1) and foot inserts (3), as well as a mattress and bed cover ( Fig. 4) with the cutout (4). To attach the foot inserts ( Fig. 5) To be able to fix them differently, due to different body lengths, these must be repositioned or removed. The foot inserts (3) are held in place by inserted prongs (7). The rounded shape ensures a comfortable position. The head insert (1) ( Fig. 4) shows rounded edges (5) for the head insert, an air channel (8) for breathing, a base (6) for collecting secretions, with a coating for cleaning.
