MATTRESS

摘要

A mattress (10) for a hospital bed is provided with first and second layers (11, 12). The first or lower layer (11) is provided with castellations (30) and first and second series of incisions (40, 41) in upper and lower surfaces thereof. The incisions (40, 41) allow the mattress to stretch so as to follow the contour of the bed as the bed is configured into different shapes, without imparting undue compressive force to a person resting on the mattress (10). A plurality of V-shaped grooves (60) is provided at a knee position of the mattress to allow for easy flexing of the mattress (10). The upper layer (12) adds to patient comfort.
