  • the deformation of the container is allowed by several side walls targeted in one direction to the lifting movement of the support elements, obstructed in the other directions by the side walls, so as to cause a significant upward lifting movement of the other, ie less to no load bearing support elements.
  • the support elements cause a strong change in shape of the container due to their design.
  • the construction is very bulky due to the multiple side walls and can be attached only laterally to a frame.
  • this device is expensive and expensive to manufacture and can be difficult to adapt later, for example, to set a desired target sensation specifically. An attachment in the transverse direction to the lying direction is practically not feasible.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a support structure for a mattress or a slatted frame with improved comfort, which is inexpensive and easy to manufacture. This object is achieved by the reproduced in claim 1 mattress.

  • the support structure according to the invention is characterized in that the support element is fastened by means of a guided past the envelope of the container holding member to the supporting base member so that the support member resiliently supported on the shell.
  • This means that the support element is guided by the attachment by means of the holding element so that it performs its mostly perpendicular to the mattress lifting movement under yielding support in combination with the resilient attachment to the container in a load-dependent manner.
  • the holding element ensures a largely flexible pivotability of the support element relative to the supporting base element in order to allow an improved contour adaptation of the support element to the mattress or the person lying thereon.

  • the retaining element is designed resiliently. It follows that the restoring action is essentially determined by the retaining element. This has the advantage that the container and the fluid contained therein has a damping function in the first place, which is comparatively easy to implement by selecting a suitable fluid. Consequently, as in the prior art, no special deformation of the container is required to obtain a suitable combination of resilient and damping action. In addition, essentially the holding element determines the upward return speed of the support element in its rest position, for example, unloaded position, without this movement being damped by the container, since the support element is supported only on the shell and thus rests loosely.
  • the suspension property can be easily adapted, for example, to the weight of the person lying on the mattress. This is done for example by using a different material and a different shape of the holding element. If several support elements are provided, which will usually be the case, the adjustment can be made area-dependent.
  • the load-bearing base element is a crossbar extending transversely to the lying direction of a slatted frame.
  • the fluid is a gel, preferably liquid, while viscous gel. Its viscosity thus significantly above that of water, and therefore its flow behavior particularly dampening acts on the lifting movement of the support element.
  • the gel is generally an easily deformable gas rich in liquids preferred, dispersed system of at least two components, which usually consists of a solid, colloid-divided substance with long or highly branched particles and a liquid (usually Water) as a dispersant.
