wherein each elastic cushion includes:
a first elastic member,
a second elastic member,
a first case coupled to the first elastic member,
a transmission gear configured to be engaged with the plurality of driving gears, and
a screw penetrating the first case such that, when the transmission pear rotates, the first case rises or descends along the screw such that a height difference between the first and second elastic members changes,
wherein the second elastic member surrounds the first elastic member and is provided on a second case, and the first case is provided inside of the second case.
2. The bed of claim 1 , further comprising a cover sheet configured to surround at least the first and second layers.
3. The bed of claim 1 , wherein the second layer is made of an elastic foam, and a bottom of the elastic foam is formed with a plurality of cushion sleeves in which upper ends of the plurality of elastic cushions are inserted.
4. The bed of claim 1 , further comprising a buffer provided over the first elastic member and an upper cover covering the buffer and the second elastic member.
5. The bed of claim 1 , further comprising a first cover provided around the first elastic member and a second cover provided around the second elastic member.
