Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mattress formed by combining a plurality of elastic members having different elasticities.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional mattress for bedding according to the present invention is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-113688.

In the prior art shown in FIG. 5, there is provided a bedding mattress 51 in which a core material is accommodated in a covering bag 59, and the core material is composed of middle materials 52, 53, and 54. Middle material 52, 5
3 and 54 are flexible urethane foams 55 having elasticity;
At least one of the middle members 52, 53, 54 is formed by combining two or more types of soft urethane foams 55, 56, 57, 58 having different hardness in the longitudinal direction of the mattress 51. .

[0004] The covering bag body 59 is divided at least substantially evenly in the longitudinal direction, and one intermediate material 52, 53, 54 is provided.
By storing a plurality of middle materials 52, 53, 54 in the middle material storage portion of the covering bag body 59, corresponding to the body part corresponding to the time of use,
It has a plurality of areas having different hardnesses, and can be folded at a divided portion of the covering bag body 59.

[0005] Soft urethane foam 55 of different hardness,
With regard to the bedding mattress 51 composed of 56, 57, and 58, the head, the chest, the waist, and the legs of a sleeping person can be appropriately supported according to each body pressure, so that improved sleeping comfort can be obtained.

[0006]

However, in the conventional bedding mattress 51, it is necessary to replace the soft urethane foams 55, 56, 57 and 58 in order to change the elasticity, and the structure is complicated and costly. . Moreover, if the bedding mattress 51 is first adjusted to the user's preferred hardness, then hardly any adjustment of the hardness is required thereafter.

[0007] Also, the mattress 51 for bedding is usually made of soft urethane foam 55, 56, 57, 58.
It must be replaced due to the tearing of the covering bag 59, which is costly.

The present invention solves the above problem.

[0009]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cover which surrounds a main cushion and includes a filler vertically.
At least two or more elastic members having different elasticity are mounted on the cover in the longitudinal direction or the lateral direction of the main cushion, and are combined.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a mattress having a hardness suitable for a user's preference is provided by providing a filler included in the cover and a plurality of elastic members mounted on the cover above and below the main cushion. Can be provided at low cost.

By using a combination of the elastic members having different elasticity in the longitudinal direction or the lateral direction of the main cushion, it is possible to provide an appropriate hardness according to the body part of the user. In addition, even when a plurality of users use the mattress, such as a double bed, desired hardness can be obtained for each person.

The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the elasticity of the upper and lower fillers included in the cover is different.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the upper and lower paddings contained in the cover are different in elasticity, so that the mattress can be inverted or the upper and lower paddings can be exchanged. Can change the hardness. In this case, the hardness of the entire mattress changes. In order to obtain an appropriate hardness according to the part of the body of the user, a plurality of elastic members mounted on the mattress are used.

[0014] The invention of claim 3 is characterized in that the main cushion is a gel bag base for storing a gel bag cushion.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, an optional hard material is used by combining a cover that surrounds the main cushion and contains a filling material vertically and an elastic member having different elasticity in the longitudinal direction or the lateral direction of the bed. Can provide a gel bed.

[0016]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The mattress of the present invention will be described below in detail.

FIG. 1 shows a mattress 1 according to the present invention. The mattress 1 surrounds a main cushion 2 and has a resilient filling 10 on the upper side and a resilient filling 11 on the lower side, and is placed on the cover 9. The elastic members 5, 6, 7, 8, the elastic member 3 mounted on the elastic member 5, and the elastic member 4 mounted on the elastic members 6, 7, 8 are provided.

FIG. 2 is a structural view of the mattress 1 of FIG. 1. The elastic members 6, 7, and 8 have different elasticities and are arranged in the longitudinal direction. The elastic members 3, 4 also have different elasticities,
This is a structure having different elasticity in the lateral direction.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the mattress 1 taken along line AA of FIG. 1. A coil spring 13 having a constant elasticity is disposed inside the main cushion. A cover 9 surrounds the main cushion 2 and a pad 10
However, a filling 11 is included in the lower part. Elastic members 3, 4,
A magic tape (registered trademark) 12 as a connecting means is laid on each of 5, 6, 7, and 8, and elastic members 5, 6, 7, 8 and elastic members 3, 4, Has a structure that does not move during use.

The operation of the mattress 1 of the present invention will be described. The elasticity of the main cushion 2 is determined by a coil spring 13 disposed inside. The hardness of the mattress 1 is determined by the coil spring 13 and the padding 10 above the main cushion 2. Since the elasticity of the upper filling 10 and the lower filling 11 of the main cushion 2 are different, the hardness of the mattress can be selected by setting any side to the upper side.

The elastic members 6, 7, 8 placed on the padding 10 are arranged in the longitudinal direction so as to obtain appropriate hardness according to the body part of the user. By changing the order in which the elastic members 6, 7, 8 are arranged, it is possible to set the head, the waist, and the feet so that appropriate hardness is obtained according to the body part of the user. Also, the elastic members 5 are arranged in the lateral direction of the elastic members
Is provided, two users can obtain mattresses 1 having different hardnesses.

In this embodiment, one elastic member 5 is used in the longitudinal direction, but a plurality of elastic members such as elastic members 6, 7, 8 may be used. Further, in this embodiment, the elastic members 4 are mounted on the elastic members 6, 7, 8 and the elastic member 3 is mounted on the elastic member 5, and the elasticity in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction is used when two people use the elastic members. Although it can be changed arbitrarily for each person, the elastic members 3 and 4 need not always be used.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the gel bed mattress 14, in which a gel bag cushion 16 is accommodated in a gel bag base 15, surrounds the gel bag base 15, and has elasticity on the upper side and elasticity on the lower side. , A cover 9 containing a filling 11 having the following, elastic members 5, 6, 7, 8 mounted on the cover 9, an elastic member 3 mounted on the elastic member 5, and mounted on the elastic members 6, 7, 8 And an elastic member 4. In this embodiment, the gel bed mattress 14 is also used.
The hardness according to the user's preference can be obtained in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction.

The elastic members 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and the fillings 10, 11 are made of a material such as felt, cotton, urethane, and rubber. Elastic members 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
The magic tame 12 is used for the connecting means of 8,
The fastening means is not limited to the magic tape 12, but may be a snap or the like.

[0025]

According to the mattress of the present invention, it is possible to provide an appropriate hardness according to the part of the body of the user, and it is possible to configure the mattress at low cost. Also, by changing the side of the filling, mattresses of different hardness can be easily obtained.
