This invention represents converting a conventional pillow into a therapeutic brio top head pillow in conjunction with a body pillow by creating a base for the pillow embodiment apparatus comprising of assembling two or more pieces, as necessary, of the embodiment and encasing the entire configuration with corpulent materials which would become comparable to a standard/queen conventional pillow along with a body pillow. Each piece of the embodiment comprises a flat face on one side and three tiered layers of bilateral symmetrical configuration from the center toward the outwards-opposing directions laterally. The assembly can be done as a face to face or back to back attachment of each side and encasing with materials. This pillow comprises a soft foam and/or other types of corpulent soft cushion for both the interior embodiment and/or casing. This system and method induces and compliments self adjustments of depth and width of indentation to fit the occiput, which is based on the pressure, size, and weight of a person's head, neck, and body.

Convoluted foam layers for mattresses, cushions and the like include at least one convoluted surface including at least one convolution that is structurally heterogeneous. The convoluted foam layer is formed of at least two foam layers fixedly attached to one another, wherein the foam layers are of different materials and/or have different properties. Also disclosed are processes for forming the convoluted foam layer and convoluted foam layers having multiple zones of a convoluted surface pattern that includes at least one convolution that is structurally heterogeneous.

A modular sleep apparatus that enables customization of a conventional mattress. The modular sleep apparatus includes a customizable mattress pad casing having pockets into which various inserts can be placed. The more the number of pockets, the greater customization the mattress pad allows. The inserts themselves can be of varying thickness, firmness, and material. The inserts can also be placed directly over a conventional mattress and held in place with a fitted sheet. The inserts can also be placed directly into pockets or envelopes in the top layer of a mattress. The mattress pad casing can be pre-assembled with inserts.

The invention relates to a mattress (1, 1′, 2, 3) having at least one first layer (10, 20, 30), a second layer (12, 22, 32) and a third layer (14, 24, 34), the second layer (12, 22, 32) comprising spring elements (16, 26, 36) and being interposed between the first layer (10, 20, 30) and the third layer (14, 24, 34). The thickness (a.sub.1, a.sub.2, a.sub.3, d.sub.1, d.sub.2, d.sub.3, . . . , d.sub.10) of the third layer (14, 24, 34) varies locally to an extent that exceeds the extent defined by a surface structure of the third layer (14, 24, 34) on its exterior surface (17).

A slotted mattress apparatus for improved foot comfort for stomach sleepers includes a mattress body including a mattress top side, a mattress bottom side, a mattress left side, a mattress right side, a mattress head side, and a mattress foot side. The mattress body comprises a foot slot extending from the mattress top side towards the mattress bottom side to receive a user's feet. A slot insert is selectively engageable within the foot slot. The slot insert conforms to the foot slot and has an insert top side lying coplanar with the mattress top side when engaged.

The present invention is generally directed to systems related to sleeping, playing and provision of non-toxic environments, components related to those systems, and methods involving the systems or components. It is more particularly directed to systems, components and methods that aid early infant cognitive development, improve ventilation inside a crib, promote fresh and/or odor free air, promote thermoregulation and homeostasis, protect the person using the systems, components and methods from biological toxins, and create healthy sleeping environments for infants, toddlers, children and adults. One sleep system according to the present invention includes a cover, a core, and a bottom. The cover includes at least two raised areas. The raised areas have one or more heights ranging from 0.125 inch to 5.0 inches and diameters ranging of 0.25 to 10.0 inches.

A mattress assembly includes a cover having a pocket. A mattress is positioned within the pocket. The mattress includes opposite first and second sides, the first side having a cavity. An insert is positioned within the cavity. Methods of use are disclosed.

The present invention relates to a regimen mattress. The regimen mattress includes a layer. The layer includes at least a cavity having an opening. At least a function foam block or a replaceable foam block is disposed in the cavity through the opening.

This disclosure relates to a padded sleeping system that includes an inflatable frame formed by a first sheet of material that is joined to a second sheet of material along a periphery and at a number of bond lines in order to form an inflatable support member. The padded sleeping system may also include at least one valve that is fixed to the inflatable frame, the valve being in fluid connection with the inflatable support member for inflation and deflation of the inflatable frame. The system may also include a cushion portion, which may be fixed to the inflatable frame. The cushion portion may provide support and additional comfort for a user.
