Definitions
- each tube being provided with an individual regulation device of air pressure or other fluid prevailing therein, obtaining the degree of firmness desired by the user is long to obtain, this user having to adjust in turn the firmness of each of the tubes.
- one of the objectives of the present invention is to propose such a mattress whose firmness can be easily and quickly adjusted.
- self-inflating elements aim to cover elements swollen by a gas, preferably air, and which can be deflated when a load (for example the weight of a user) is applied to them, and automatically re-inflate at least when they no longer support said load.
