005659000 | For placement below a mattress and above its supporting structure (e.g., bed boards) | 11 |
20080256715 | MATTRESS SHAPING APPARATUS - A mattress shaping device that is placed below a mattress to allow a sleeper to customize the shape of substantially the entire mattress. The mattress shaper having a plurality of individually inflatable cells that may correspond with integral inlets that are accessible while the shaping device is placed underneath the mattress. | 10-23-2008 |
20100175195 | Tool set for tucking bedsheets - The bedsheet-tucking tool kit consists of at least one bed-mattress lifter and at least one bedsheet tucker. The lifter has a handle and an insertable portion, the distal end of which tapers in the direction away from the handle. A stopper provided between the handle and the tapered portion limits insertion of the lifter to a position in which the bedsheet can fall behind the inserted portion. At its bottom, the lifter has a flared wing-like portion that maintains stability of the lifter in the inserted position. In order to increase friction between the bottom of the lifter and the boxspring mattress, a small portion of the bottom surface of the lifter is coated with a thin rubber-like coating. This protects the lifter from popping out from the inserted position. The handle may be coated with a rubber film. The tucking tool is made in the form of a spade with a rounded knob-like handle and a flat tucker blade. | 07-15-2010 |
20130232698 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MATTRESS LIFTING TO AID BED-MAKING - Sheets on a mattress having a sleeping surface and a lower surface disposed opposite the sleeping surface may be changed using a fluid container. The fluid container has an outer surface including a resilient material that may be displaced in response to a pressure similar to the pressure of fluid contained in the fluid container. The fluid container is provided with a predetermined quantity of fluid and disposed such that the resilient outer surface is adjacent to a portion of an outer perimeter of the lower surface of the mattress. The resilient outer surface is displaced by a volume, allowing a portion of a sheet to be inserted between the outer surface and the lower surface of the mattress. The outer surface is allowed to refill the displaced volume and thereby engage the portion of the sheet against the lower surface of the mattress. | 09-12-2013 |
20140157519 | Apparatuses and Methods for Increasing Support Provided by Cushioned and Other Occupant Supporting Furniture - Panel assemblies designed and configured to be installed into cushioned and other occupant-supporting furniture to increase the support provided to one or more occupants of the furniture. Each panel assembly is composed of interconnecting components, such as panels and slats. The components are interconnected in any one or more of a variety of manners, including side-to-side, overlapped, and stacked, and combinations thereof. Each panel assembly can be made from one or more kits of components that can be provided along with instructions, such as assembly instructions and installation instructions. | 06-12-2014 |
20140189957 | Bed Vibration System and Method - A bed vibration system to provide controllable vibrations beneath a mattress, which is located on a bed, the system comprising: a frame attachable to the bed by at least four suspension modules; at least two vibration modules, each vibration module having a rotatable element; at least two travel tracks attachable to the frame, the travel tracks configurable to have the at least two vibration modules respectively displaceable thereupon; and a vibration module control unit configurable to control vibrations and displacement of the respective vibration modules. | 07-10-2014 |
20140283306 | SUPPORT ELEMENT FOR BED RESTS, IN PARTICULAR WITH SLATS, AND BED REST PROVIDED WITH A PLURALITY OF SUPPORT ELEMENTS - The invention relates to a support element ( | 09-25-2014 |
20150342359 | MATTRESS LIFTER - A mattress lifter includes an air bladder sized to fit between a mattress and a mattress foundation, so that when inflated the air bladder lifts the mattress from the mattress foundation sufficiently to allow removal and replacement of bed linens and easy tucking of bedding under the mattress. Height-limiting material within the air bladder limits a height of the air bladder when the air bladder is inflated. An air pump inflates the air bladder by pumping air through a connection hose. When the air pump is turned on, air moves from the air pump to the air bladder inflating the air bladder. When the air pump is turned off, air moves from the air bladder to the air pump so that the air bladder automatically deflates when the air pump is turned off. | 12-03-2015 |
20150359348 | Bedmaker Integrated Into Foundation - An apparatus and method for facilitating making beds of all sizes with one or more flat bed sheets by minimizing lifting of the mattress so that flat bed sheets and/or blankets can be tucked between the upper mattress and the box spring or platform without lifting the top mattress. The apparatus includes an inflatable volume that is configured to provide additional levitation height to facilitate cleaning between the mattress and the foundation. | 12-17-2015 |
005660000 | Adapted to incline mattress or portion thereof | 3 |
20090025149 | Adjusting Structure for Adjusting the Rise and Fall of a Mattress by Air Spring - An adjusting structure for adjusting the rise and fall of a mattress by air spring, comprises a plurality of air springs and a control device. The air springs are located under the mattress, and the control device controls the amount of air in the respective air springs so as to control their extension and retraction, thus adjusting the rise and fall of the mattress and producing a massage effect. Further, according to different figures of different users, the mattress can be adjusted to a most appropriate sleeping posture for the users. | 01-29-2009 |
20110179578 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR LIFTING A MATTRESS - A mattress lift apparatus is provided for insertion between a mattress and an underlying support structure, such as a box spring. The mattress lift apparatus elevates a portion of the mattress so that bed linens may be tucked between the mattress and the underlying support structure. A continuous loop is formed by a base member, an incline member, a transition member and a handle member, wherein the continuous loop provides structural integrity to the mattress lift apparatus. An aperture is formed within the continuous loop, including along an inside portion of the handle member to enable the handle member to be gripped. In one embodiment, the handle member includes a substantially semi-circular shape. In another embodiment, at least one support rib is positioned in the aperture to mechanically couple the base member and at least one of the inclined member and the transition member. | 07-28-2011 |
