Abstract

A method including receiving an input regarding a mattress assembly from an end user, the input including an indication of a desired feel and a plurality of current layers included in the mattress assembly, querying a database using the received input, receiving a list of layers and a layer arrangement from the database in response to the query, determining if the plurality of current layers matches the list of layers, identifying at least one of a specialty layer or a replacement layer when the plurality of current layers do not match the list of layers, determining a recommendation including the list of layers, an indication of a cost of the identified at least one of the specialty layer or the replacement layer when the plurality of current layers does not match the list of layers, and the layer arrangement, and sending the recommendation to the end user.

Claims (26)

1. A method comprising:

inserting a plurality of non-laminated and rearrangeable foam layers into a tub including vertically extending rails and a base and defining an interior cavity bound by the rails and the base;

installing a cover system over the assembled plurality of layers to provide a mattress assembly, the cover system including a removable cover allowing selective access to the plurality of layers and the interior cavity and selectively compressing the plurality of layers within the tub;

receiving an input regarding the mattress assembly from an end user, the input including an indication of a desired feel;

querying a database using the received input;

receiving a layer arrangement from the database in response to the query;

determining a recommendation including the layer arrangement;

sending the recommendation to the end user; and

rearranging the mattress assembly according to the recommendation.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input further includes an indication of current layers included in the mattress assembly; and

further comprising:

receiving a list of layers from the database in response to the query;

determining if the current layers match the list of layers; and

identifying at least one of a specialty layer or a replacement layer when the current layers do not match the list of layers,

wherein the recommendation further includes the list of layers and an indication of a cost of the identified at least one of the specialty layer or the replacement layer when the current layers do not match the list of layers.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving a confirmation of the recommendation from the end user;

sending an instruction to a warehouse to retrieve the identified at least one of the specialty layer or the replacement layer; and

packaging the identified at least one of the specialty layer or the replacement layer for shipment to the end user.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of layers defines a layer thickness and the specialty layer includes a spring layer that defines a specialty thickness that is at least double the layer thickness.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a rejection of the recommendation from the end user;

determining an updated recommendation based on the rejection; and

sending the updated recommendation to the end user.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of layers includes five foam layers.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the input includes retrieving previously stored inputs from the database.
