Mattress Topper

Abstract

A mattress topper that helps to prevent the user from rolling off of the side of his or her bed. The mattress topper includes a substantially rectangular body having a first end, a second end, and a pair of opposing sides. The lower surface of the body is substantially flat and planar so that the mattress topper can be placed directly on a mattress. The upper surface of the body is substantially flat and includes sloped regions along the sides thereof. The sloped regions extend the full length of the mattress topper and extend from the first end to the second end thereof. The sloped regions may be removably affixed to the upper surface of the body depending upon the embodiment. In some embodiments, a removable leg rest is provided, wherein the leg rest includes a triangular configuration.

I claim: 
     
         1 ) A mattress topper, comprising:
 a body having an upper surface, a first end, a second end, and a pair of opposing sides;   a pair of sloped regions extending along said pair of opposing sides, wherein said pair of sloped regions are adapted to prevent a user from rolling off of said body when lying thereon.   
     
     
         2 ) The mattress topper of  claim 1 , wherein said body is composed of a foam material.

         5 ) The mattress topper of  claim 1 , wherein said pair of sloped regions extend from said first end to said second end of said body. 
     
     
         6 ) The mattress topper of  claim 1 , wherein said pair of sloped regions are composed of a semi-rigid material. 
     
     
         7 ) The mattress topper of  claim 1 , further comprising a leg rest removably positionable on the upper surface of the body, wherein the leg rest comprises an elongated body having a first end, and a second end, wherein the body comprises a triangular cross sectional area.
