Description

Mattress.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a mattress, which has been planned to allow varying characteristics, both of comfort and appearance, instantly, immediately and simple, even in the user's own home, with nothing else to wear out the change of the top cover, cover which is at the same time as interchangeable, integral and fixed part of the mattress and element essential of said mattress.

The object of the invention is to achieve that with in the same mattress block, its characteristics can vary without changing the cover.

Background of the invention

Conventional mattresses, independently of the nature or structural characteristics thereof, is say of being formed by springs, latex, rubber foam, etc., and to be able to incorporate internally heating means or even a cover with its face upper distinct from its lower face for use in summer and / or winter, do not allow to exchange the elements that integrate it with the goal of increasing the comfort life of the mattress, vary its essential attributes, repair small wear, etc. The only one possibility is to change the whole set, the entire mattress, discard the mattress since its characteristics texture, comfort, hardness, etc. they have been degrading and they just resulting uncomfortable for the user.

Description of the invention

The recommended mattress has been conceived to solve the problem described above, based on a simple but effective solution, as it is planned for your application on the upper surface of a conventional mattress, forming the upper part of it and fixing it by any conventional system, either by a zipper, some sticky sailboat strips, by sewing, square brackets, etc., allowing its independence and fixation at the moment want, as well as its interchangeability for another of them or different features or even that allows a configuration Gradual mattress, overlapping one cover over another.

More specifically, the mattress of the invention has the characteristic of being able to materialize in different versions, that is to say with different thickness, different hardness, different texture, and even internally incorporates heating means, motorizations and even aromatic means, so that depending on some or other features the mattress will offer one type or another of comfort, but always to the user's liking and in accordance with his wishes. Perfectly modelable, adaptable to all
requirements.

Based on the mattress of the invention, a mattress it can last many more years than they last traditionally, since the element that will provide comfort to the user it will be the cover and not the mattress itself, since this one It will act as a basis for the cover, and this depending on some other characteristics, it will be the one that can be changed and replaced by another with other characteristics, hence the mattress can last numerous years, maintaining or recovering the initial comfort, with the only requirement to change the cover, which always results much more simple, economical, easy and respectful environmentally, and with more ease of change in sum than which are derived from the disposal of a conventional mattress.

As is evident, the initial block of the mattress, whatever the initial design, characteristics and properties of the cover, it will be in all cases usable since add-ons that can be added, such as engines, heating, latest generation foams, new materials, etc. are introduced under the cover initially purchased, being able to mattress, with the same block, vary in benefits over time and, therefore, with small and gradual disbursements, vary and update.

It is evident that through the mattress of the The invention avoids shipping, since to vary the characteristics of a mattress only requires varying the characteristics of the cover, which can be transported by the own user, due to its lower volumetry, thickness, etc.

It also represents an environmental advantage since that it is not necessary to remove the mattress with the periodicity that It is normal.

It is also advantageous that through cover of the invention avoids having to carry out the change of sheets, bedspreads, protectors, etc., since the only thing that change is the comfort that is precisely what provides the cover of the invention.

Also noteworthy is the fact that the user when buying a mattress assumes fewer risks than those assumed traditionally, since if you were wrong, just with changing the cover, and it is always much cheaper component that the mattress itself.

Also noteworthy is the fact that any type of novel feature in terms of properties and comfort of a mattress is referred to, may be acquired, since these are integrated in the cover and as said this component is much cheaper than a classic mattress.

It is clear that for the merchant too it is advantageous since it increases the sale of covers, increases the rotation and sales of rest, increases interest in the mattress by 1 user, since the update is much more economic and, therefore, enables more economies to carry out its replacement

In short, it is a new mattress with a cover that can be attached to the block by any system appropriate as those already mentioned, being able to have said cover different characteristics both in thickness, as in texture, hardness, etc., and may include heat, vibration, etc. systems, which makes it possible to compose a custom mattress, with the characteristics that the client wants and without having to change the complete mattress.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as an integral part of said description, a set of drawings where with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of a conventional mattress with the cover of the invention located about it.

Figure 2.- Shows a view also in top perspective, where you can see one of the corners of the cover in situation of independence from the mattress.

Figure 3.- Shows a partial view in cross section of a second example of practical embodiment of the invention in which two different covers are used thickness and hardness.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention
