Mattress leveling system

Abstract

The present invention discloses a system for leveling the mattress used in trucks of the type including tractor trailers used in cross country trucking and also for travel trailers and recreational vehicles. The present invention discloses a support slab for placement under the mattress having one end of the support slab being elevated and thereby leveled by an inflatable cylindrical air chamber which air chamber is inflated by a small electric air pump which is operated off of the vehicle's power system. The air chamber would have a plurality of chambers wherein each chamber could be inflated to a variable pressure to allow further leveling of the mattress in the lateral directions.

1 . What is claimed is: a mattress leveling system for a bed used in a tractor trailer truck, travel trailer or recreational vehicle, comprising: 
 a support slab, positioned underneath the mattress;    a plurality of inflatable cylindrical air chambers positioned under the foot and head ends and under the center of the mattress and support slab which enables leveling of the mattress in longitudinal and lateral directions;    a fastener, which attaches the inflatable devices to the underside of the support slab, being a hook and loop material, snaps, or other commonly available type of fastener; and    a storage bag made of nylon netting of other mesh-like material within which components of the apparatus may be stored.    
   
   
       2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the support slab is strong enough to support a 350 pound man without bowing.  
   
   
       3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a cylindrical air chamber has within it a plurality of chambers, each of which may be individually inflated to a variable pressure to enable leveling of the mattress.  
   
   
       4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a cylindrical air chamber may be inflated by a small electric air pump.  
   
   
       5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein an existing air supply line, which connects to the air ride seat of a vehicle, may be used to provide the supply air line for a cylindrical air chamber.  
   
   
       6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein an air supply line may be controlled by a four-way switch for four chambers of the inflatable device to enable adjustable leveling of the mattress.
