Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mattress, with a spring or rubber-elastic base body whose top forms a reclining surface for a person.
  • Mattresses are upholstery, which is placed on a usually designed as a slatted base to allow a person a comfortable lying and sleeping.
  • Modern mattresses are often divided into three to seven recumbent zones, which are designed to meet the different needs of the individual body regions of the person lying on support.
  • a foam mattress which comprises at least two foam layers adjoining one another in an associated boundary surface whose foam material differs with respect to congestion hardness, wherein the at least one boundary surface extends between the lying surface and the base surface is arranged and designed so that the thicknesses change at least two of the layers at least in sections in the direction predetermined by the longitudinal sides. Regions in which the layer with the lower storage hardness has a greater thickness are thus more flexible than those regions in which the layer with the greater storage hardness has a greater thickness.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a mattress with several lying areas, which has an even better comfort especially for people with back problems. This object is achieved by the reproduced in claim 1 mattress.
  • the flexibility distribution over the length of the lying surface can be varied to a greater extent than in conventional mattresses and thus even better adapted to the compliance requirements in the individual lying areas. Due to the use of viscoelastic material only in certain areas, the good thermal properties of the mattress obtained with modern foams or latex materials are largely retained, so that people who are prone to sweating do not find the mattress according to the invention to be too warm despite the viscoelastic regions.
  • viscoelastic regions are preferably a viscoelastic material - for example, a gel - use whose compliance is higher or whose compression hardness is lower than the compliance or congestion hardness of the spring or rubber-elastic body. Accordingly, viscoelastic regions are preferably provided in regions of the mattress which should have a greater compliance to increase lying comfort, for example the kyphosis, pelvis and / or calf region of the mattress.
  • the spring or rubber-elastic material in the lordosis region of the mattress is designed such that a pressure load, as it is exerted on a person lying on this area, to a movement of the lying surface of this area forming material from about the middle on the one hand towards the head end, on the other hand towards the foot of the mattress leads. Due to this spreading movement achieved by pressure, a stretching force acting on the lordosis region of the person lying in the cranial and caudal direction is exerted, as a result of which the intervertebral discs of the lying person are relieved.
  • the abovementioned property of the lumbar region of the mattress according to the invention can be achieved by inserting into the spring or rubber-elastic material in this area the mattress from the lying surface transversely to the longitudinal direction. tion of the mattress extending incisions are provided, the head side inclined from the center to the lying surface obliquely to the head end, the foot side inclined from the center to the lying surface obliquely to the foot.
  • the main body can be designed as a single layer.
  • an embodiment of the mattress according to the invention is particularly preferred, in which the base body has a layer structure, the various regions being formed in the upper layer forming the lying surface, since by means of the layer structure on the one hand the resilience profile of the mattress can additionally be influenced, on the other hand the climatic For example, let properties of the mattress change by selecting a lower layer of greater air permeability.
  • a mattress according to the invention with layer structure has a particularly high level of lying comfort, in which the upper layer is made of latex and the base surface of the mattress on a base, such as a slatted base layer forming a pocket spring core assembly summarizes.
  • Fig. 1 - schematically - a side view of this embodiment with illustrated neck to pelvic structure of a person lying on;
  • Fig. 2 shows the areas of different compliance of this embodiment with details of the length of the respective area average penetration depth in percent of the thickness of the unloaded mattress for a person lying on it;
  • Fig. 4 - also schematically - a side view revealing the layer structure of the embodiment.
  • the mattress designated 100 in the drawing as a whole has various recumbent zones for the head, kyphosis, lordosis, pelvis, thigh, calf and foot, which differ from one another by different compliance values.
  • the compliance values are chosen so that in the resting area of the head, the thickness of the mattress to about 90%, the kyphosis to about 80%, the lordosis to about 95%, the pelvic area to about 80 to 85%, the thigh to about 85 90%, the calf on about 90 to 80% and the foot of a person lying on reduced to about 80%.
  • the head area is about 16%, the kyphosis area about 19%, the lordosis area about 10%, the pelvic area about 10% and the thigh, calf and foot areas together about 45% of the total length of the mattress.
  • the regions of particularly high compliance are formed by gel deposits 1, 2, 3 having viscoelastic properties which are arranged in recesses 4, 5, which extend transversely to the longitudinal extent of the mattress, in an upper layer 7 of the mattress 100.
  • the incisions extend transversely to the longitudinal extent of the mattress 100. They are - as for example also Fig. 3c) entnom- men can be - incorporated in such a way that those, from about the middle to the head of the mattress out 12, 14 lying surface towards the head end, the foot of the center of the areas arranged 13 and 15 to the bed 16 to the foot are inclined.
  • this embodiment causes a spreading force directed from approximately the middle toward the edges of the region in the event of pressure loading by an abutting person, which results in stretching and thus additional relief on the part each area resting body parts leads.
  • the kyphosis bulges in a dorsal shape. Too much flattening in the vibration behavior of the mattress would lead to mechanical problems in the spinous processes.
  • space is created by the intended area of high flexibility in which the shape of the kyphosis is supported. Due to the high flexibility, the possibility of deep breathing is ensured by the direct connection between the vertebral body and the ribs.
  • the weight of the head, arms and torso weighs heavily on her. Accordingly, this region consists of large and stable vertebral bodies, which have fewer degrees of freedom than the vertebral bodies, for example the cervical spine.
  • the relaxation and support of the lordosis region during lying is of particular importance for the recovery success of a person.
  • lordosis region designed in the manner described an additional relaxation is achieved via the expansion forces.
  • the body weight of the person lying is transferred in a horizontal supine position into a cranial and caudal expansion force.
  • the pelvis of the recumbent person is erected by the pelvic region of greater compliance following the lordosis region at the foot end.
  • the associated strain of the Spine results in less tension on muscles and tendons, and the pressure in the intervertebral discs decreases, resulting in improved fluid regulation in the intervertebral discs.
  • the upright movement can be assisted if - as shown schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2 - the compliance in the pelvic region is selected decreasing towards the foot end.
