Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a profiling adjustable bed furniture item, comprising a mattress base that can be supported on a substrate and a mattress which extend between a head end and a foot end, which mattress base has a supporting surface and which mattress has a bottom surface that is supported on the supporting surface of the mattress base, and which mattress base and mattress together defme an upper side and an underside, wherein the thickness between the upper side and the underside of the mattress and the mattress base, viewed in the direction between the head end and the foot end, varies.
  • a profiling adjustable bed furniture item of this type is disclosed in EP-A 168 190.
  • the thickness and firmness of both the mattress and the mattress base are chosen such that a particular desired support is obtained.
  • the human body is relatively heavy in the trunk region, while the upper body with the head as well as the legs and feet are relatively light.
  • the differences in weight between the various parts of the body naturally have an effect on the level of compression of the mattress, and thus on the position where the body is supported.
  • the mattress has a uniform firmness between the head end and the foot end, the mattress will be more deeply compressed in the trunk region, which can result in an uncomfortable posture.
  • Many attempts have already been made to resolve this problem, for example by using zones with spring elements of different stiffnesses.
  • the profiling adjustable bed it is desirable for the profiling adjustable bed to have a certain aesthetic quality, such that the furnishing of, for example, a bedroom can contribute to a feeling of wellbeing that is conducive to achieving a good night's sleep.
  • the top surface thereof is convex. This is less desirable with regard to providing a high degree of comfort.
  • the aim of the invention is therefore to provide an improved profiling adjustable bed furniture item where as far as possible account is taken of the requirements specified above. This aim is achieved in that the mattress base and the mattress have at least one position in which the upper side is flat.
  • the comfort of the springs can be increased by means of the variation in thickness.
  • the mattress In the centre, section of the mattress, where the relatively heavy trunk of the person is located, the mattress is relatively thick, such that a relatively high compression can occur without this detracting from the comfort.
  • the mattress can provide sufficient springing in the centre section, while the less thick sections of the mattress adjacent to the head end and the foot end exhibit less pronounced compression. Consequently, the body can be supported in a straight, not sagging posture.
  • the mattress preferably has a head-end section and an adjoining centre section, which head-end section has a thickness that decreases from the centre section towards the free end.
  • the mattress can also have a foot-end section and an adjoining centre section, which foot-end section has a thickness that decreases from the centre section towards the free end.
  • the mattress has a regular and flowing outline, which also gives the external shape an attractive aspect.
  • the thickness of the mattress base can vary, viewed in the direction between the head end and the foot end.
  • the mattress base can have a head-end section with a thickness that decreases from the centre section towards the free end.
  • the mattress base can have a foot-end section with a thickness that decreases from the centre section towards the free end.
  • the mattress base can be either rigid or articulated. In the latter case, the mattress base can have a centre section and a head-end section connected to it such that it can pivot. Furthermore, the mattress base can have a centre section and a foot-end section connected to it such that it can pivot. Control means are provided in the customary manner for adjusting the pivot angle of the head-end section and/or the foot-end section.
  • Figures 1-4 show a first illustrative embodiment of a profiling adjustable bed furniture item according to the invention.
  • Figures 5 - 8 show further variants of the furniture item according to the invention.
  • the illustrative embodiment shown in Figures 1 - 4 of a bed according to the invention comprises a mattress base 1 and a mattress 2.
  • the thickness between the upper side 11 and the underside 12 of the whole decreases towards the head end and the foot end.
  • the mattress base has a surface 3, for example in the form of transversely stretched, interconnecting helical springs.
  • the mattress 2 has a top surface 4 and a bottom surface 5 that rests on the surface 3 of the mattress base 1.
  • the mattress 2 has a head-end section 6, a centre section 7 and a foot-end section 8. As shown in the figures, the centre section 7 has a constant thickness, while the head-end section 6 and the foot-end section 8 have a decreasing thickness.
  • the outline of the top surface 3 of the mattress base 1 is not flat, such that the top surface 4 of the mattress 2 is completely flat.
  • the advantage of this is that a person lying on the bed is comfortably supported in that the compressibility and firmness of the mattress are matched to the heavier and lighter parts of the human body.
  • the mattress base 1 has an articulated frame 9, that is supported on a substrate by means of a base 10.
  • the mattress base 1 and the mattress 2 together have an upper side 11 and an underside 12, between which the thickness varies.
  • this is achieved by using a mattress 2 with a varying thickness and a mattress base 1 with a constant thickness, yet a bent shape which is adapted to the outline of the bottom surface 5 of the mattress 2.
  • the top surface 4 of the mattress 2 is consequently always flat.
  • the mattress base 1 together with the mattress 2 are accommodated in an enveloping cover, as a result of which the whole has the appearance of a single unit.
  • the mattress base 1 and the mattress 2 are kept separate, with the mattress base 1 being fairly thin, for example a woven spring frame.
  • the frame is fairly thick and can in this case be constructed as a so-called box spring.
  • FIG. 7 shows a furniture item according to the invention with a light, floating appearance. This is achieved by means of a mattress 2 with a constant thickness, while the mattress base 1 has a decreasing thickness towards the head end and the foot end.
  • the surfaces 3, 5 of the mattress base 1 and mattress 2 facing one another are completely flat in that case.
