A device is disclosed for facilitating rotation of a mattress in a horizontal plane carried by a box spring or a platform. In order to facilitate rotation, slick surfaces between the mattress and the box spring or platform are selectively placed in contact in order to reduce the normal friction therebetween. The slick surfaces may be provided by two (2) separate covers; one cover for the mattress and one cover for the box spring or platform. A first cover is provided with a slick and non-slick surface. In order to further facilitate rotation, a second cover includes a slick surface on one side and forms part of a levitation device. The other side of the second cover may be formed with a slick or a non-slick surface. The levitation device creates an air cushion between the mattress and the box spring under the influence of an air supply which lifts the mattress and allows the mattress to be rotated in a horizontal plane virtually effortlessly. Once the mattress has been rotated to the desired position, the air supply is removed and the first cover is attached to the underside of the mattress so that its non-slick side is in contact with the box spring or platform or bed skirt and its slick side is in contact with the slick side of the other cover and the levitation device defining a normal mode of operation. In a rotate mode of operation, the first cover is attached to the box spring or platform so that its non-slick surface is in contact therewith. Alternatively, the first cover may be integrally incorporated into the box spring or a slick surface may be integrally formed on the platform that forms part of the platform bed. In this embodiment, in order to reduce movement of the mattress with respect to the box spring or platform, the mattress is secured relative to the box spring or platform by removable fasteners in a normal mode of operation. In yet another alternate embodiment of the invention, a portion of the levitation device may be built into the mattress.

Mattress Support Apparatus
20180116416 · 2018-05-03 ·

A mattress support apparatus provides an inflatable bladder member that can be placed under a mattress beneath a sagging portion thereof, so that as the bladder is inflated it pushes upwards raising the sagging portion and re-leveling the upper surface of the mattress. In some implementations, the bladder member is inflated by an electric pump. Inflation may be operated by a handheld controller, which optionally may include an up/down switch, and the apparatus may include a digital or analog pressure readout. The inflatable bladder may have a contoured shape, and may include a ribbed outer surface to enhance engagement with the mattress and prevent slippage.

The present invention relates to an anti-sagging unit comprising the first anti-sagging unit and the second anti-sagging unit for restoring the sag of the furnishing item, wherein the first anti-sagging unit is placed on the base support and the second anti-sagging unit is place on the first anti-sagging unit & under the area of the sag on the furnishing unit. Since, the length of the second anti-sagging unit is longer than the length of the first anti-sagging unit hence it prevents the first anti-sagging unit to form lumps in the furnishing item even after its prolong use and thus provide comfort to the user & also restores the sag from the furnishing item.
