  • the insert elements form a planar, matrix-like arrangement in the receiving space.
  • An essential aspect of the invention consists in the fact that the side surfaces of adjacent insert elements lie against each other and thus form contact surfaces, that is, the respective adjacent insert elements are in contact with each other.
  • properties can generally be transferred from one insert element to the next and thus transferred in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction of the mattress.
  • compressive or tensile loads can be applied to the insert elements and passed along adjacent elements.
  • means for adjusting the stiffness, elasticity can be provided, whose setting variables are passed from one insert element to the next.
  • ventilation properties can also be predetermined and passed on from one insert element to the next.
  • adjusting elements for specifying, in particular, mechanical properties can be provided in the individual insert elements, settings of the setting elements being passed from one insert element to the next via the contact surfaces.
  • adjacent insert elements can be connected to one another via coupling elements.
  • the side surfaces of adjacent insert elements can be loose, that is, without attachments to each other.
  • the contact between the side surfaces is then obtained solely by the contact pressure between the insert elements after they are inserted into the receiving space.
  • fixing elements in particular mechanically reversibly detachable fastenings, in order to fix adjacent insert elements with adjoining side faces.
  • Such fixing elements can be formed, for example, by protruding from a side surface of an insert element one or more projections which can be inserted into corresponding recesses in the side surface of the adjacent insert element.
  • the projections may be formed integrally with the insert element and thus consist of the same material as the insert element.
  • hooks may be provided on the side surface of an insert element and hooked into eyelets on adjacent insert elements.
  • the fixing can also consist of Velcro.
  • the insert elements have identical outer dimensions.
  • the insert elements can be placed in any order in the receiving space together.

  • a suitable choice of the size of the individual insert elements in relation to the size, in particular base of the receiving space a high spatial resolution can be achieved in adjusting the properties of the mattress. In general, the higher the spatial resolution, the more insert elements are arranged in the receiving space.
  • the insert elements are generally made of foam or plastic.
  • Foamed plastic generally comprises special, foamed plastics, in particular thermoplastic, elastomeric or thermosetting foams. Alternatively, non-foamed plastics can be used to form the insert elements.
  • insert elements can also consist of a core, consisting of a first material, and at least one shell of a second material, with different insert elements geometries and materials of the cores and shells can be varied.
  • the properties in insert elements can be predetermined as a function of measurements in a person resting on a test specimen.
