Abstract

Modular mattress systems and methods are described. For example, a modular mattress can include a fabric cover configured to surround at least two foam layers. The fabric cover can include an opening to allow access to an interior region of the fabric cover. The mattress can include a first foam layer positioned within the interior region of the fabric cover, and an encasement layer positioned below the first foam layer. The encasement layer can include a recess configured to receive one or more modular support sections. The mattress can also include a plurality of modular support components received within the recess of the encasement.

Claims (20)

1. A mattress, comprising: a fabric cover forming an interior region configured to surround at least two foam layers, the fabric cover comprising an opening to allow access to the interior region of the fabric cover; a support layer positioned within the interior region of the fabric cover, the support layer having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the first side being an upper surface, and the second side being a lower surface, and the support layer having a plurality of modular support sections; and an encasement layer positioned below the support layer on the lower surface, the encasement layer comprising a recess configured to receive the plurality of modular support sections, wherein the plurality of modular support sections comprises a head section, a torso section, and a foot section, and wherein at least one of the head section, the torso section, and the foot section comprises one or more modular support components separated from each other by perforations such that the one or more modular support components can be removed and replaced, wherein only the modular support components within the at least one of the head section, the torso section, and the foot section are separated from each other by perforations, wherein each of the one or more modular support components comprises a first foam layer with a surface on the first side and a second foam layer with a surface on the second side, wherein the first foam layer has a different foam density from the second foam layer; and wherein each of the one or more modular support components is reversible, such that the different foam densities of the first layer and the second layer of each of the reversible modular support components allows for customizable firmness.

2. The mattress of claim 1 , wherein the recess comprises a keyed profile configured to engage with the plurality of module support sections.

3. The mattress of claim 2 , wherein the keyed profile comprises a honeycomb shape.

4. The mattress of claim 3 , wherein at least one of the modular support components comprises a hexagonal shape.

5. The mattress of claim 2 , wherein the one or more modular support components comprise at least 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 100 modular support components.

6. The mattress of claim 1 , wherein the recess extends entirely through the encasement.

7. The mattress of claim 1 , wherein the recess extends partially through the encasement.

8. The mattress of claim 1 , wherein the encasement comprises foam.

9. A mattress, comprising: a fabric cover forming an interior region and a closable opening allowing access to the interior region; an encasement layer positioned within the interior region and having a recess with a keyed profile in a honeycomb shape; and a support layer positioned within the keyed profile, the support layer formed of a first foam layer and a second foam layer, the first foam layer having a different foam density from the second foam layer; the support layer having a head section, a torso section, and a foot section, and at least one of the head section, the torso section, and the foot section is reversible, such that the different foam densities of the first foam layer and the second foam layer of the at least one of the head section, the torso section, and the foot section allows for customizable firmness; the at least one of the head section, the torso section, and the foot section comprises one or more modular support components separated from each other by perforations such that the one or more modular support components can be removed and replaced; wherein only the one or more modular support components within the at least one of the head section, torso section, and the foot section are separated from each other by perforations.

10. The mattress of claim 9 , wherein each of the head second, the torso section and the foot section comprises a plurality of modular support components.

11. The mattress of claim 10 , wherein the modular support components comprise at least 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 100 modular support components.

12. The mattress of claim 9 , wherein the recess extends entirely through the encasement.

13. The mattress of claim 9 , wherein the recess extends partially through the encasement.

14. The mattress of claim 9 , wherein the encasement comprises foam.

15. A mattress, comprising: a fabric cover forming an interior region and a closable opening allowing access to the interior region; an encasement layer positioned within the interior region and having a recess with a keyed profile in a honeycomb shape; and a support layer positioned within the keyed profile, the support layer formed of a first foam layer and a second foam layer, the first foam layer having a different foam density from the second foam layer; the support layer having a head section, a torso section, and a foot section, at least one of the head section, the torso section, and the foot section comprises a plurality of modular support components separated from each other by perforations such that the plurality of modular support components are reversible and can be removed and replaced, such that the different foam densities of the first foam layer and the second foam layer of the at least one of the head section, the torso section, and the foot section allows for customizable firmness; wherein only the plurality of modular support components within the at least one of the head section, torso section, and the foot section are separated from each other by perforations.

16. The mattress of claim 15 , wherein each of the head second, the torso section and the foot section comprises a plurality of modular support components.

17. The mattress of claim 16 , wherein the plurality of modular support components comprise at least 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 100 modular support components.

18. The mattress of claim 15 , wherein the recess extends entirely through the encasement.

19. The mattress of claim 15 , wherein the recess extends partially through the encasement.

20. The mattress of claim 15 , wherein the encasement comprises foam.
