In the present embodiment, the master-size mattress device 100 is an improved master-size mattress device 100 that provides a user 106 with a mattress which is in between a queen and king-size. Specifically, the master-size mattress device 100 comprises a body component 102 and sewn-in handle 104. Thus, the body component 102 is relatively large and portable via the sewn-in handle 104. Further, the sewn-in handle 104 and the body component 102 are completely covered in fabric 108.

[0035] Generally, the master-size mattress device 100 allows users 106 to sleep on a larger mattress without having to get a larger bed frame 110. Further, the sewn-in handle 104 can be used to easily maneuver and transport the body component 102 to the correct positioning on the bed frame 110. Accordingly, users 106 can maintain their smaller bed frame 110 while still having a larger mattress, saving users 106 significant time and money and preventing pain and discomfort.

[0036] Further, the master-sized mattress device 100 comprises a body component 102 that is configured in a rectangular base shape. The body component 102 comprises an exterior surface 112, an interior space 114, and a side surface 116. However, the body component 102 can be any suitable shape and size as is known in the art, as long as the body component 102 is sized and shaped to be slept on by the user 106 during use.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 2, the side surface 116 of the body component 102 comprises at least one sewn-in handle 104 which covers the entire width 118 of the side surface 116. Typically, there are two sewn-in handles 104 on opposing sides of the body component 102. The sewn-in handle 104 allows for the body component 102 to be lifted up and maneuvered easily. The sewn-in handle 104 is rectangular in shape and is connected to the body component 102 on either end of the side space 116. It is embedded into the edges 200 of the side space 116, which allows for a space between the middle 202 of the sewn-in handle 104 and the side space surface 116 where the user 106 can place their hand 204 and lift the entire body component 102 up.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 3, the side surface 116 of the body component 102 is comprised of a 12 inch width 118 of fabric 108. The size of the width 118 of the side space 116 can vary as long as it allows for a large enough interior space 114 to maintain comfort for the user 106.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 4, the body component 102 comprises an exterior surface 112 which is completely encompassed in fabric 108 and which covers all the interior space 114 of the body component 102. This fabric 108 can be any fabric 108 that is traditionally encompassing a mattress.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 5, the interior space 114 of the body component 102 comprises a layer of memory foam 500 encompassing the top 502 of the interior space 114 for maximum comfort for the user 106. Directly underneath the layer of memory foam 500 of the interior space 114 there is comprised a layer of springs 504. This layer of springs 504 can be comprised of any traditional springs, as long as the metal 506 of the springs is able to oscillate in a way that allows for rigidity of the body component 102 while also maintaining the comfort element.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 6, the layer of springs 504 is placed in an alternating, inverted layout 600 to provide balance and support for the user 106. This alternating, inverted layout 600 involves the layer of springs 504 being placed directly next to each other, with the orientation of the springs alternating for every other spring. This layout 600 allows for a maximum number of springs to fit within the interior space 114 of the body component 102, providing maximum comfort.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 7, the body component 102 is unique because it comprises a rectangle that is approximately 70 inches by 80 inches, allowing it to be sized between a traditional queen and king size mattress. However, the body component 102 can be any specific size as long as the body component 102 fits on a standard queen-size bed frame 110.
