Abstract

A bedding foundation for ensuring lightweight and easy delivery, and assembly. The foundation comprises modular components which are easily produced and assembled. The foundation consists of multiple joints, which are connected by a series of rods running parallel and/or perpendicular to one another. The foundation may be elevated by a series of plastic leg supports or casters. The foundation may be covered along its top side by a panel and/or surrounded on one or more sides by a fabric cover.

1 . A bedding foundation comprising:
 a. a first corner piece connected to a second corner piece;   b. said first corner piece connected to a first interlocking piece;   c. said first interlocking piece connected to a second interlocking piece;   d. said second corner piece connected to said second interlocking piece;   e. said first interlocking piece connected to a third interlocking piece;   f. said third interlocking piece connected to a fourth interlocking piece;   g. said second interlocking piece connected to said fourth interlocking piece;   h. said third interlocking piece connected to a third corner piece;   i. said third corner piece connected to a fourth corner piece; and   j. said fourth interlocking piece connected to said fourth corner piece.   
     
     
         2 . The bedding foundation of  claim 1 , wherein a fabric piece covers one or more sides of the bedding foundation. 
     
     
         3 . A foundation comprising:
 a. an upper matrix comprising a first plurality of joints connected by a first series of connecting rods;   b. a lower matrix comprising a second plurality of joints connected by a second series of connecting rods;   c. the second plurality of joints being equal in quantity to the first plurality of joints;   d. each joint from the second plurality of joints corresponding to a joint from the first plurality of joints; and   e. each joint from the second plurality of joints connected to the corresponding joint from the first plurality of joints by a column.   
     
     
         4 . The foundation of  claim 3  further comprising:
 a. a plurality of casters, each of said casters connected to a joint from the second plurality of joints. 
 
     
     
         5 . The foundation of  claim 3  further comprising:
 a. a cover unit positioned above the upper matrix. 
 
     
     
         6 . The foundation of  claim 4  wherein:
 a. the cover unit comprises one or more segments. 
 
     
     
         7 . The foundation of  claim 5  wherein:
 a. the one or more segments of the cover unit are either stackable or foldable. 
 
     
     
         8 . The foundation of  claim 3  wherein:
 a. one or more of the first series of connecting rods are H-track at least in part; and 
 b. one or more of the second series of connecting rods are H-track at least in part. 
 
     
     
         9 . A foundation joint comprising a hexagonal prism. 
     
     
         10 . The foundation joint of  claim 9  wherein the hexagonal prism has one or more orifices. 
     
     
         11 . The foundation joint of  claim 10  wherein at least one of the one or more orifices can receive an H-track. 
     
     
         12 . The foundation joint of  claim 9  wherein the hexagonal prism is a right prism.
