Description

Topper to Distribute Concentrated Load}

The present invention relates to a topper placed on a bed or mattress, and more particularly, to a topper that distributes a concentrated load to alleviate while distributing an acting load as a whole.

In order to give a more comfortable and comfortable feeling to the user of the mattress, the use of a topper placed on top of the mattress is increasing. It is common to use a topper including memory foam so that turning off and restoring can occur according to a user's body shape.

Memory foam is specially processed in the form of a foam with higher elasticity than urethane. It has viscoelasticity by adding viscosity to elasticity. It is restored after being pressed, but it is restored slowly.

On the other hand, when a user lies down on a tapper made of one layer of memory foam, depending on the physical properties of the memory foam, the effect of distributing body pressure may be insufficient, such as being too hard or excessively indented.

In addition, in the case of memory foam, it is not easy to maintain because it is sensitive to temperature.

In particular, use of toppers that are easy to replace is increasing instead of mattresses that are difficult to replace due to the characteristics of memory foam materials. Memory foam can be divided into latex using rubber materials as raw material and memory foam using chemical materials as raw materials in a narrow sense. In the case of latex, which supports the user's body with its own elasticity, it is weak against heat and light and has low air permeability, making it unsuitable for use as a mattress.

Memory foam is specially processed in the form of a foam with higher elasticity than urethane. It has viscoelasticity by adding viscosity to elasticity. It is restored after being pressed, but it is restored slowly.

On the other hand, when a user lies on a mattress assembly including a topper made of one layer of memory foam, various problems such as being too hard or excessively indented may occur depending on the physical properties of the mattress assembly.
