Abstract

A filler formed to fit underneath a bed frame is provided. The filler includes a membrane. The membrane may include a top layer, bottom layer, and a sidewall connecting the top layer and the bottom layer together. An internal pocket is formed within the membrane. The internal pocket is capable of receiving and retaining a gas, thereby making the membrane an inflatable membrane. A valve is secured to the membrane and forms a fluid connection from the internal pocket to an outside, allowing users to inflate and deflate the membrane.

the membrane comprises a plurality of corners, wherein a cutout portion is formed at each corner of the membrane, and

each of the cutout portions are formed in the outer sidewall running from the bottom layer to the top layer and comprise a concave shape curving inwards in order to surround a portion of the corner supports to maximize space filled underneath the bed frame.
