Modular and adjustable mattress

Abstract

Modular mattress systems and methods are described. For example, a modular mattress can include a fabric cover configured to surround at least two foam layers. The fabric cover can include an opening to allow access to an interior region of the fabric cover. The mattress can include a first foam layer positioned within the interior region of the fabric cover, and an encasement layer positioned below the first foam layer. The encasement layer can include a recess configured to receive one or more modular support sections. The mattress can also include a plurality of modular support components received within the recess of the encasement. The mattress can also include a reversible topper having two layers of different material or density.

1 . A modular and adjustable mattress, comprising:
 an encasement comprising a recess formed therein, and   a modular insert received in the recess, the modular insert comprising a first layer comprising a first level of support and a second layer comprising a second level of support,   wherein the modular insert can be flipped to adjust a level of support for the modular insert depending on which of the first layer or the second layer is facing up.   
     
     
         2 . The mattress of  claim 1 , wherein the first layer comprises a first foam having a first density and the second layer comprises a second foam having a second density different than the first layer, 
     
     
         3 . The mattress of  claim 1 , wherein the encasement comprises foam. 
     
     
         4 . The mattress of  claim 1 , wherein a bottom layer of the encasement is about four inches thick. 
     
     
         5 . The mattress of  claim 1 , wherein the modular insert is about eight inches thick and the recess is about eight inches deep. 
     
     
         6 . The mattress of  claim 1 , wherein the modular insert comprises a head section, a body section, and a foot section, each comprising a different texture. 
     
     
         7 . The mattress of  claim 1 , wherein the recess is configured to receive a left modular insert and a right modular insert, and each of the left modular insert and the right modular insert can be flipped independently. 
     
     
         8 . The mattress of  claim 1 , further comprising a reversible topper positioned over the encasement and modular insert, wherein the reversible topper comprises a first layer comprising a first level of support and a second layer comprising a second level of support, wherein the reversible topper can be flipped to further adjust a level of support for the mattress depending on which of the first layer or the second layer of the reversible topper is facing up. 
     
     
         9 . The mattress of  claim 1 , wherein the recess of the encasement comprises straight-sided walls and the modular insert comprises straight-sided walls. 
     
     
         10 . The mattress of  claim 1 , wherein the recess comprises a recess with a geometric profile and the modular insert comprises a corresponding geometric profile. 
     
     
         11 . The mattress of  claim 1 , further comprising a removable cover. 
     
     
         12 . The mattress of  claim 1 , wherein the modular insert comprises a head section, a torso section, and a foot section each configured to provide a different level of support. 
     
     
         13 . A method for customizing a mattress, the method comprising:
 placing one or more modular inserts into a recess of an encasement of a mattress;   placing a reversible topper comprising a first layer and a second layer over the one or more modular inserts in an orientation such that either the first layer or the second layer is oriented upwardly.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising reversing the orientation of the reversible topper such that the other of the first layer or the second layer is oriented upwardly to adjust a level of support of the mattress. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising reversing the orientation of at least one of the one or more modular inserts to adjust a level of support of the mattress. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the first layer and second layer of the reversible topper comprise different materials. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the first layer and second layer of the reversible topper comprise different densities. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein at least some of the one or more modular inserts comprise two layers, wherein each layer comprises a different material. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein at least some of the one or more modular inserts comprise two layers, wherein each layer comprises a different density. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein at least one of the modular inserts comprises a foot section, a torso section, and a head section, each having a different level of support.
