ABSTRACT:
The bed system has a rectangular frame, with a mattress assembly mounted on the frame. The mattress assembly has upper and lower wooden strip layers and intervening foam blocks. Each wooden strip layer has a plurality of laterally-oriented wooden strips arranged in proximity to each other from top to bottom of the frame, with each strip extending from one side panel to the other side panel. There are three foam blocks, namely two outer foam blocks and one central foam block, running from head to foot of the bed between the wooden strip layers. The side panels have inwardly-facing shoulder portions running the length thereof, and the wooden strips of the lower wooden strip layer rest on the shoulder portions, with the outer foam blocks extending outwardly beyond the wooden strips so as to be in general vertical alignment with the outer walls of the side panels. This permits conventional North American fitted sheets and/or bed skirts to be used if desired. Spaced-apart buttons on the outside of each outer foam block are tied to corresponding buttons on the opposing outer foam block, to prevent the foam blocks from moving laterally outwardly beyond the outer walls of the side panels. Preferably the bed system includes at least one elevating mechanism to permit the head of the bed and/or lumbar and leg portions to be raised. In double, queen or king sized versions of the invention, a central support member runs longitudinally between the head and foot panels, with support rails on either side thereof. Two of the mattress assemblies are arranged side by side, one on either side of the central support member, the central support member being configured to act the same as a side panel for each of the two mattress assemblies.
