Modular Mattress Assembly

Abstract

A modular mattress assembly comprises a mattress unit that includes multiple mattress blocks each having a top face, a bottom face and a surrounding surface, and multiple connecting units each provided on the surrounding surface of a corresponding mattress block. The mattress blocks are arranged such that the top faces of the mattress blocks constitute a top support surface of the mattress unit. Any two adjacent mattress blocks are connected to each other through connection between the connecting units provided respectively thereon.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A modular mattress assembly comprising:
 an upper mattress unit having a top support surface and a bottom side surface, and including
 a plurality of mattress blocks each having a top face, a bottom face, and a surrounding surface, said mattress blocks being arranged such that said top faces of said mattress blocks constitute said top support surface of said upper mattress unit and that said bottom faces of said mattress blocks constitute said bottom side surface of said upper mattress unit, and 
 a plurality of connecting units each provided on said surrounding surface of a corresponding one of said mattress blocks such that any two adjacent ones of said mattress blocks are connected to each other through connection between said connecting units provided respectively thereon. 
   
     
     
         2 . The modular mattress assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a lower mattress body permitting stacking of said upper mattress unit thereon, said lower mattress body being made of a support material and having a top side surface with the same size as that of said bottom side surface of said upper mattress unit. 
     
     
         3 . The modular mattress assembly as claimed in  claim 2 , further comprising an interconnecting unit provided on said bottom side surface of said upper mattress unit and said top side surface of said lower mattress body for interconnecting said upper mattress unit and said lower mattress body. 
     
     
         4 . The module mattress assembly as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said interconnecting unit includes a plurality of Velcro-type female loops formed on one of said top side surface of said lower mattress body and said bottom side surface of said upper mattress unit, and a plurality of Velcro-type male hooks formed on the other one of said top side surface of said lower mattress body and said bottom side surface of said upper mattress unit and engaging said Velcro-type female loops. 
     
     
         5 . The modular mattress assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each of said mattress blocks includes a covering body, and a plurality of buffer members enclosed within said covering body. 
     
     
         6 . The modular mattress assembly as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein each of said buffer members includes a resilient coil spring. 
     
     
         7 . The modular mattress assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said top support surface of said upper mattress unit is a curved surface shaped to conform to a body shape of a sleeper. 
     
     
         8 . The modular mattress assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said top support surface of said upper mattress unit includes a flat surface portion, a gradually rising curved surface portion opposite to said flat surface portion, and a gently convex surface portion connected between said flat surface portion and said gradually rising curved surface portion. 
     
     
         9 . The modular mattress assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said top support surface of said upper mattress unit is formed with a central recess, said modular mattress assembly further comprising an auxiliary pad received in said central recess in said top support surface of said upper mattress unit and filled with a padding material therein. 
     
     
         10 . The modular mattress assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein:
 each of said mattress blocks is shaped as a rectangular block; and   each of said connecting units includes two first connecting members attached to said surrounding surface of the corresponding one of said mattress blocks and disposed respectively at two adjacent corners of the corresponding one of said mattress blocks, and two second connecting members attached to said surrounding surface of the corresponding one of said mattress blocks and disposed respectively at remaining two corners of the corresponding one of said mattress blocks.   
     
     
         11 . The modular mattress assembly as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein each of said first connecting members includes a plurality of Velcro-type female loops, and each of said second connecting members includes a plurality of Velcro-type male hooks.
