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 relatively thin, somewhat flexible 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. A padded layer, preferably of foam approximately 5 cm thick, is positioned on top of the mattress assembly, extending substantially across the full width and length of the mattress assembly. Preferably positioned on top of the padded layer is a sheep's wool mattress pad, also with a cotton cover. Conventional sheets can be used to cover the mattress assembly, padded layer, and mattress pad. A sheep's wool duvet and sheep's wool pillow are preferably used to complete the bed system. 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 being in general vertical alignment with 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.
