Abstract

A mattress system with at least two inflatable bladders located within a tub compartment of a foam encasement is enclosed. The bladders are surrounded on all sides by foam layers and the bladders are inflated and deflated by a control unit. The control unit is positioned within the tub compartment near the foot of the mattress and centered between the two bladder assemblies. The control unit is adhered to the foam encasement.

Claims (38)

1 . A mattress system comprising:

an encasement having a tub compartment laterally extending from a head portion of the encasement and a foot portion of the encasement, the tub compartment having a plurality of holes formed in a bottom wall of the tub compartment and extending from a bottom of the tub compartment to an upper surface of the tub compartment;

a control unit coupled with the encasement, the control unit situated in a section towards the foot portion of the encasement, the control unit including one or more cables extending therefrom, each cable being threaded through one of the plurality of holes;

one or more straps each threaded through another of the plurality of holes and engaged over the control unit to further secure the control unit towards the foot portion of the encasement, wherein the one or more straps secures the control unit within the tub compartment by looping from under the tub compartment through the plurality of holes and over the control unit; and

at least one topper formed of a foam material positioned atop the encasement.

2 . The mattress system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first and a second air bladder situated within the tub compartment separate from the section towards the foot portion of the encasement, the first and second air bladders coupled to the control unit via one or more hoses extending from the control unit.

3 . The mattress system of claim 2 , wherein the hoses are secured to the tub compartment using an adhesive material.

4 . The mattress system of claim 1 , further comprising one or more inserts to level a surface of the encasement.

5 . The mattress system of claim 1 , wherein the encasement is formed of a foam material.

6 . The mattress of claim 1 wherein the control unit further includes an adhesive applied to a base thereof, the adhesive adhering the control unit to a surface of the foot portion of the encasement.

7 . The mattress of claim 1 wherein the tub compartment has a relatively narrower section towards the foot portion of the encasement.

8 . A mattress system comprising:

an encasement having a tub compartment laterally extending from a head portion of the encasement and a foot portion of the encasement, the tub compartment having a plurality of holes formed in a bottom wall of the tub compartment and extending from a bottom of the tub compartment to an upper surface of the tub compartment;

a control unit coupled with the encasement, the control unit situated in a section towards the foot portion of the encasement, the control unit including one or more cables extending therefrom, each cable being threaded through one of the plurality of holes;

one or more straps each threaded through another of the plurality of holes and engaged over the control unit to further secure the control unit towards the foot portion of the encasement, wherein the one or more straps secures the control unit within the tub compartment by looping from under the tub compartment through the plurality of holes and over the control unit; and

two or more toppers formed of a foam material positioned atop the encasement.

9 . The mattress system of claim 8 wherein the two or more toppers comprise a first topper and a second topper of an equal height, each of the first topper and second topper being approximately two inches in height.

10 . The mattress system of claim 8 wherein the one or more straps engaged over the control unit is selected from the group consisting of a Velcro strap, a carabiner strap or a rope strap.

11 . The mattress system of claim 8 , further comprising:

a first and a second air bladder situated within the tub compartment separate from the section towards the foot portion of the encasement, the first and second air bladders coupled to the control unit via one or more hoses extending from the control unit.

12 . The mattress system of claim 11 , wherein the hoses are secured to the tub compartment using an adhesive material.

13 . The mattress system of claim 8 , further comprising one or more inserts to level a surface of the encasement.

14 . The mattress system of claim 8 , wherein the encasement is formed of a foam material.

15 . The mattress of claim 8 wherein the control unit further includes an adhesive applied to a base thereof, the adhesive adhering the control unit to a surface of the foot portion of the encasement.

16 . The mattress of claim 8 wherein the tub compartment has a relatively narrower section towards the foot portion of the encasement.

17 . A mattress system comprising:

an encasement having a tub compartment laterally extending from a head portion of the encasement and a foot portion of the encasement, the tub compartment having a plurality of holes formed in a bottom wall of the tub compartment and extending from a bottom of the tub compartment to an upper surface of the tub compartment;

a control unit coupled with the encasement, the control unit situated in a section towards the foot portion of the encasement, the control unit including one or more cables extending therefrom, each cable being threaded through one of the plurality of holes;

one or more straps each threaded through another of the plurality of holes and engaged over the control unit to further secure the control unit towards the foot portion of the encasement, wherein the one or more straps secures the control unit within the tub compartment by looping from under the tub compartment through the plurality of holes and over the control unit and wherein the one or more straps engaged over the control unit is selected from the group consisting of a Velcro strap, a carabiner strap or a rope strap;

at least one topper formed of a foam material positioned atop the encasement.

18 . The mattress system of claim 17 , further comprising:

a first and a second air bladder situated within the tub compartment separate from the section towards the foot portion of the encasement, the first and second air bladders coupled to the control unit via one or more hoses extending from the control unit.

19 . The mattress system of claim 18 , wherein the hoses are secured to the tub compartment using an adhesive material.

20 . The mattress system of claim 17 , further comprising one or more inserts to level a surface of the encasement.
