Cushion for co-sleeping
View Patent ↗Flexible cushions include structures configured to secure to a mattress or other sleeping surface, permitting cushion re-shaping to divide or otherwise configure a sleeping space. Cushions join to the mattress via an L-shaped plate that seats against a side an under a bottom of the mattress. The cushion is supported by the L-shaped plate, which may extend inside the cushion or otherwise mate with a flexible shaping pipe in the cushion. The flexible pipe in the cushion allows the cushion to be shaped in any fashion with sufficient human force while retaining its shape when slept on. The L-shaped plate is joined to an opposite latch plate that secures to an opposite side of the mattress by an adjustable belt that runs between the L-shaped plate and latch plate. The belt may run under the mattress and join to any number of structures.
1. A cushion for co-sleeping comprising:
a planar latch plate;
a belt coupled to the latch plate;
an L-shaped plate coupled to the belt, wherein the L-shaped plate is shaped to seat a first leg of the L-shaped plate under a bottom of a mattress of a bed and a second leg of the L-shaped plate against a side of the mattress;
a cushion shaped to be blocked by the second leg of the L-shaped plate extending beyond the mattress such that the cushion cannot be pushed beyond the second leg and the mattress; and
a bendable pipe enclosed in the cushion, wherein bending the cushion also bends the bendable pipe which maintains the cushion in the bent shape.
2. The cushion of claim 1 , further comprising:
a plurality of the L-shaped plates.
3. The cushion of claim 2 , further comprising:
an adjuster configured to adjust a length of the belt.
4. The cushion of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of L-shaped plates is sandwiched by cushion covers to support the cushion.
5. The cushion of claim 1 , further comprising:
an adjuster configured to adjust a length of the belt.
6. The cushion of claim 5 , wherein the L-shaped plate is sandwiched by cushion covers to support the cushion.
7. The cushion of claim 1 , wherein the L-shaped plate is sandwiched by cushion covers to support the cushion.
8. The cushion of claim 1 , further comprising:
a plurality of the L-shaped plates, wherein,
each of the L-shaped plates couple to the bendable pipe at different positions of the bendable pipe via the leg seating against the side of the mattress,
the planar latch plate is shaped to seat against an opposite side of the mattress from at least one of the L-shaped plates, and
the belt is configured to join each of the L-shaped plates and planar latch plate by running under the bottom of the mattress.
