Pillow top inflatable mattress

Abstract

An inflatable support system having an upper chamber attached to a lower chamber and in fluid communication therewith which may be inflated with a single pump and deflated with a first valve, the upper chamber having a pillow top appearance when inflated.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An inflatable support system having an upper chamber attached to a lower chamber and in fluid communication therewith which may be inflated with a single pump and deflated with a first valve, the upper chamber having a pillow top appearance when inflated.  
     
     
         2 . The inflatable support system of  claim 1 , where the lower chamber is of a coil construction.  
     
     
         3 . The inflatable support system of  claim 1 , where the lower chamber is of a channel construction.  
     
     
         4 . The inflatable support system of  claim 1 , where the upper chamber is flocked.  
     
     
         5 . The inflatable support system of  claim 1 , where the upper chamber is laminated with a fabric.  
     
     
         6 . The inflatable support system of  claim 1 , where the upper chamber is welded to produce a textured appearance.  
     
     
         7 . The inflatable support system of  claim 6 , where the textured appearance is created by applying welding dies which are substantially sinusoidal in design.  
     
     
         8 . The inflatable support system of  claim 7 , where successive sinusoidal welding patterns are substantially out of phase.  
     
     
         9 . The inflatable support system of  claim 1 , wherein the pump is battery operated.  
     
     
         10 . The inflatable support system of  claim 9 , wherein the battery operated pump is rechargeable.  
     
     
         11 . The inflatable support system of  claim 1 , wherein the pump receives power from a standard household electrical socket.  
     
     
         12 . The inflatable support system of  claim 1 , wherein the pump is removably coupled to the inflatable support system.  
     
     
         13 . The inflatable support system of  claim 1 , further comprising a second valve for gradually deflating the inflatable support system.  
     
     
         14 . The inflatable support system of  claim 13 , wherein a user can select the pressure within the inflatable support system by alternately inflating the support system with the pump or deflating the support system with the second valve.  
     
     
         15 . The inflatable support system of  claim 1 , wherein the first valve and the single pump are located at opposite ends of the support system.  
     
     
         16 . The inflatable support system of  claim 15 , wherein the first valve is connected to a foot end of the lower chamber and the single pump is operably connected to a head end of the lower chamber.  
     
     
         17 . The inflatable support system of  claim 1 , wherein the single pump and the first valve are operably connected to the lower chamber.  
     
     
         18 . The inflatable support system of  claim 1 , wherein the pillow top appearance is achieved by attaching a lower surface of the upper chamber to an upper surface of the lower chamber inset from the outer edges thereof.  
     
     
         19 . An inflatable support system comprising: 
 a flocked upper chamber which has a pillow top appearance when inflated;    a lower chamber attached to and in fluid communication with the upper chamber, the lower chamber having a coil construction;    a single pump for inflating the support system which is operably coupled to the support system and which receives power from a household electrical socket;    at least one first valve for rapidly deflating the support system; and,    at least one second valve for gradually deflating the support system.
