  • “Foam” refers to any compressible material suitable for use in padding in a mattress, pillow or other cushioning device.
  • Orbital spring refers to a spring having the shape of an inverted spherical cap which may be larger than, smaller than, or equal to a hemisphere. In most cases, an orbital spring includes an outer and an inner shell.
  • a multilayered, adjustable mattress system with orbital springs comprised of a removeable, fire resistant cover for enclosing the top of the mattress, a zipper having a predetermined zipper track along the edge of the mattress, wherein the zipper can unzip the removable cover in both directions, a top foam cover, and an open box, rectangular, mattress encasement divided into two head sections, two body sections, and two feet sections.
  • the layers of the mattress include multiple foam layers of varying compressibility, and a rubber spring deck, where the orbital springs are arranged in a honeycomb pattern. Additionally, the layers of the mattress can be interchanged vertically and horizontally within the mattress sections.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a multilayered, adjustable mattress system with orbital springs 10, in accordance with the principles of the invention.
  • the mattress 10 consists of a rectangular prism/rectanguloid mattress encasement 20, a padded cover 16, a foam top cover 18, and two zippers 12 along a zipper track 14.
  • the mattress encasement 20 is a rigid, rectangular prism, with a defined width, length, and height.
  • the custom-made padded cover 16 in this embodiment unzips starting at the middle of the foot of the mattress 15.
  • the zippers 12 unzip in opposite directions, and slides along the zipper track 14 which, in this example, runs along the bottom edge of the mattress.
  • the zipper track may optionally ran along the top edge of the mattress.
  • the zipper track may optionally be placed in any desirable location on the padded cover 16 and may optionally have only a single zipper.
  • the zipper track may ran along the top periphery of the padded cover 16.
  • the padded cover 16 should be made from a material such as natural wool, cotton, silk, or the like. These materials have high keratin protein and moisture content and are chemical free. This ensures that the mattress is resistant to burning and benefits the customer to sleep without the concerns of breathing in and sleeping on any chemicals/toxins.
  • the padded cover may be made of materials commonly used to form mattress covers and other bedding components.
  • the foam cover 18 is preferably about 5 cm thick and is coextensive with the top of the mattress encasement 20 for a smooth look and feel.
  • the foam cover may be composed of typical mattress foam, memory foam, latex foam, or the like.

  • the open box, rectangular mattress encasement 23 has a rigid edge support 24, which in this embodiment is approximately 9 cm wide, that runs around the upper periphery of the entire open box, rectangular mattress encasement 23. Not only is the edge support 24 sturdy enough to support a user who wishes to sit on the side of the bed without it collapsing under their weight, it also provides side sleepers with the security that they will not roll off their mattress while asleep.
  • the open box, rectangular mattress encasement 23 has a defined length 31, width 32, and height 30. The entire system may be about 30 - 32 cm deep.
  • the mattress may be of any size, including queen, king and California king, or other desirable dimensions.
  • the bottom left foot section 38 of Figure 2 shows an exemplary arrangement of a plurality of layers in one of the sections 38. As shown, there is a top layer 40, a second layer 42, a third layer 44, and a bottom layer 46.
  • the foam layers may be composed of any suitable mattress or cushioning material, such as for example typical mattress foam, memory foam, latex foam, or the like.

  • the orbital springs 62 are affixed to the base 64 by bolts 60 and include washers 58.
  • all four layers of the mattress are interchangeable vertically, and optionally horizontally.
  • all foam layers may be composed of typical mattress foam, memory foam, latex foam, or other materials as the customer desires.

  • all sections of a mattress may be similarly vertically reconfigured. If there are two sleepers on the bed, both users could have the layers in each section configured in completely different patterns to satisfy their own needs. Since the springs are independent on the rubber spring decks, any movement is confined to a single spring, or a group is springs and is not transferred to the other spring deck or the other sleeper.
  • Figure 6 shows a side cross-sectional view of the mattress section 36 with no orbital spring deck or layer included.
  • the foams all have the same width and length, and but vary in thickness as in the embodiment in Figure 4. Additionally, all foams are interchangeable both horizontally and vertically, as in the other embodiments.

  • the top layer 40 of the mattress is comprised of the softest material and compressibility, and it is the smallest thickness.
  • the second and fourth layers 42 of the mattress are of medium firmness, compressibility, and thickness.
  • the third layer 44 of the mattress is comprised of the firmest material and compressibility, and it has the largest thickness.

  • the multilayered, adjustable mattress system with orbital springs can be fully customized to meet the user’s needs and desires. Additionally, since all the components can be ordered separately after the initial purchase, the layers of each section can be altered with the user’s changing needs. For example, if a pregnant woman wished to sleep on her stomach, the orbital springs could be removed and replaced with the softest layer of foam for the duration of her pregnancy. Once she has given birth, the mattress could be easily converted hack to its original form. Another example of this would occur if an obese person purchased the mattress and a few years later loses a substantial amount of weight.
  • customers can choose the type of materials used in the sections, giving them the advantage of controlling the total cost of the mattress. For example, a user concerned with their budget may choose to purchase foam layers instead of latex, since latex is more expensive. If the user wished to upgrade later, the latex components could be purchased and switched out with the foam layers in a matter of minutes. This is a major cost advantage to other mattresses on the market because the mattress can be maintained and even upgraded without having to be fully replaced.
