Conventionally there has been provided two handles, approximately six to eight inches in length, on each long side of the mattress, spaced at approximately one third and two thirds of the length of the mattress. The handles are most commonly oriented horizontally or parallel with the resting surface of the mattress, but can also be oriented vertically; transverse to the top and bottom surfaces of the mattress. Mattresses have also been made with handles on the head and foot ends of the border.
- With the increased size and weight of mattresses over the years, handles are a necessity to enable efficient handling and adjustment of position on a foundation. Providing only two relatively short length handles per side limits this ability.
- The mattresses of the present: invention provide an upholstery assemblage which includes handles of extended lengths for improved handle construction and increased ease of handling and adjustment. In one representative embodiment, a mattress core, in combination with one or more padding layers, is covered with an upholstery layer that envelops the mattress core and one or more padding layers. The mattress has a top surface, a bottom surface which is opposite and parallel to the top surface, a left side wall, a right side wall, a top side wall and a bottom side wall, the left, right, top and bottom side walls being perpendicular to and extending between the top and bottom surfaces. The mattress further includes at least two mattress handles horizontally disposed and attached along at least two apposing side walls of the mattress, the at least two mattress handles having a length that extends along a substantial length of the side wall or border of the mattress to which it is attached. The at least two mattress handles are each attached to the mattress at two or more attach merit points or areas, and each preferably attached to the border at at least three attachment point or areas.
- In a second representative embodiment, a mattress comprises a top surface, a bottom surface which is opposite and parallel to the top surface, and a border which is perpendicular to and extends between the top and bottom surface creating a substantially rectangular structure.

The present disclosure and related inventions is applicable to all different types and sizes of mattresses, including upholstered mattresses with different types of cores, i.e., spring, foam or wire and foam combinations.
- In one embodiment, as shown in
FIGS. 1-3 , at least two single extended length mattress handles orstraps 14 are generally horizontally disposed and attached to at least two opposing side walls of the mattress, preferably the left andright sides 10, and may extend to theadjacent end walls 12 as further described. The length of each of the extended length handles, as measured horizontally from one end to an opposite end as the handle is attached to the border, is longer than any mattress handles of this type of which the Applicants are aware, and is generally greater than about 10 inches, and can be greater than 20 inches, greater than 30 inches, greater than 40 inches, greater than 50 inches, greater than 60 inches, greater than 70 inches, greater than 80 inches. and greater than a total length of thesides 10 of a mattress, as further described herein. In a particular embodiment an extended length handle length is less than the length of theside mattress wall 10 to which thehandle 14 is attached, and is of a length of approximately 50-55 inches. As used herein, the term “extended length handle” refers to and means a mattress handle of the type described which has a length or linear extent along a side wall or border of a mattress wherein the total length of the handle is within a range that includes lengths greater than approximately eight or ten inches and equal to or greater than an entire length of one longitudinal side of the mattress to which it is attached. In a representative embodiment of the disclosure, an extended length mattress handle has a total length of preferably greater than about six inches, and more preferably greater than about eight inches, and even more preferably greater than ten inches, and up to and including the lengths described herein. - The first and second
opposing ends side wall 10 of themattress 100. Thehandle body 14 is further attached to themattress 100 at several additional connection orattachment points 20 along thecorresponding side wall 10 of themattress 100. In a preferred embodiment, theattachment points 20 may be comprised of thread which is stitched through the handle and mattress wall in a pattern or defined area, as shown for example inFIG. 1 , having a square box with an X stitch pattern inside the box. This stitch pattern gives the attachment sufficient strength to affix and maintain the attachment of thehandle 14 to theside wall 10 of themattress 100. Other stitch patterns are considered to be within the scope of the present invention. As used herein, the term “attachment point” refers to and includes an area of stitching which extends through the handle and into the boarder of the mattress. The sewing equipment used to attach the handles to the mattress are capable of sewing any number of different stitch patterns or defined areas of stitching. The stitch patterns may even be customized with for example, a company logo or other such indicia. Also, the stitch patterns at each attachment point or area may be varied or non-repeating. In a preferred embodiment, there are approximately seven distinct or spaced-apart attachment points or areas along the length of the handle, creating approximately six equally sizedhorizontal handles 22 or segments at which a user may grasp thehandle 14 on at least two opposing side of the mattress. Thehandles 14 can be made of the same quilting fabric as the outer fabric material a the mattress, or of any material which can be formed as a handle and sewn to the mattress border. - In a second embodiment, as shown in
FIGS. 4 and 5 , a single extendedlength mattress handle 24 or strap is horizontally disposed and attached along at least two opposing, parallel side walls of themattress 100, preferably the left andright sides 10. The length of eachhandle 24 is greater than the length of theside wall 10 to which thehandle 24 is attached. This allows each of theopposing ends handle 24 to wrap aroundopposing corners 28 of themattress 100 and extend along the adjacent side wall. This excess creates anextra handle 26 or segment at the outer edge of each adjacent side wall, such as at the edge of the top andbottom side walls 12 of themattress 100.Attachment points 20 are located at theopposing ends mattress corner 28, and at severaladditional points 20 along theside wall 10 of themattress 100. This configuration creates twohandles 26, one each at the top andbottom side wall 12 and severaladjacent handles 22 or gripping points along the left andright side walls 10 of themattress 100. For a twin or full Mattress with a length of approximately 75-76 inches, there will be one attachment point on each adjacent side wall, one at each corner; and six more equally spaced attachment points along the length of the mattress, creating approximately nine equally sized handles along each long side, or the left and right sides of the mattress. A king or queen sized mattress, approximately 80 inches in length, would contain one extra attachment point which would create approximately ten equally sized handles along each long side of the mattress. In a preferred embodiment, as described above, the attachment of thehandles 24 to themattress 100 may be by thread sewn in a box shape with an ‘X’ stitch pattern inside the box to provide sufficient attachment strength. Other stitch patterns may also be used. The handles are made of the same quilting fabric as the outer surface of the mattress so that they easily blend with the aesthetics of the mattress. - In yet another embodiment, shown in
FIG. 6 , a single extended length mattress handle 24 or strap is horizontally disposed and attached along all four sides of the mattress. The handle is initially attached at one point along one side of the mattress and wraps around all four sides of the mattress until it reaches the initial attachment point. The initial attachment point may be at one corner of the mattress or it may be at a specific point along one of the mattress sides. Attachment points 20 are located at eachmattress corner 28 and at severaladditional points 20 along eachside wall 10 of themattress 100. This configuration creates equally sized and spaced handles along the left andright side walls 10 and the top andbottom side wall 12. For a twin or full sized mattress (length 75-76 inches long), six equally spaced attachment points will be attached along each long side, or left and right side, of the mattress, creating approximately nine equally sized handles. A king or queen sized mattress (length 80 inches long) would contain one extra attachment point which would result in approximately ten equally sized handles along each long side or the mattress: - Attachment of the horizontal handles along the sides of the mattress may be sewn on by hand or by an automated process, as described for example in U.S. Pat. No. 6,202,579, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- Extending a single extended length mattress handle along the entire length of two sides of the mattress provides a gripping position at practically any point along the length of the mattress. The horizontal placement of the handles also better facilitate movements such as lifting or turning of the mattress.
- It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that numerous variations and/or modifitations may be made to the invention as shown in the specific embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as broadly described.
