Mattress System and Related Methods

Abstract

A mattress providing three or more different comfort levels is disclosed. In certain embodiments, a multilayer mattress is provided with two layers on opposite sides, one layer providing less firm support than the layer on the opposite side. A zippered attachable pillowtop may also be provided. The main portion of the mattress may be constructed as a sandwich of a first firm layer and a second layer having less firmness relative to the first firm layer. The main portion of the mattress may be constructed without an opening. Alternatively, a zipper or other resealable opening may be provided to allow access to the interior of the main portion and layers of the mattress. Such access may be useful, for instance, for cleaning or sanitizing, or for replacing interior layers of the mattress. Additionally, the pillowtop may be provided with a zippered opening or other resealable opening.
