A mattress raising inflatable

Abstract

A mattress raising inflatable including: a. an inflatable body formed of panels having: i. a boxlike structure when inflated with a periphery that substantially follows a rectangular outline matching or just smaller than the mattress to be lifted; ii. a plurality of inflating sections of the boxlike structure of the inflatable body located to raise a number of spaced peripheral areas and central areas; b. an inflating valve in the periphery and substantially external to the inflatable body allowing for pumping to inflate the inflatable body while not providing an impediment felt by a user of the bed in normal use; wherein in an inflatable condition the inflatable body elevates the position of the mattress or portions thereof relative to the bed base to allow removal and replacement of bed linen such as bed sheets substantially without having to physically lift the mattress.

1 . A mattress raising inflatable including:
 a. an inflatable body formed of panels having
 i. a boxlike structure when inflated with a periphery that substantially follows a rectangular outline matching or just smaller than the mattress to be lifted; 
 ii. a plurality of inflating sections of the boxlike structure of the inflatable body located to raise a number of spaced peripheral areas and central areas; 
 iii. wherein the inflatable body includes the panels connected to form cut-outs extending substantially from a top plane of the boxlike structure of the inflatable body to a bottom plane; 
   b. an inflating valve in the periphery and substantially external to the inflatable body allowing for pumping to inflate the inflatable body while not providing an impediment felt by a user of the bed in normal use;   wherein in an inflatable condition the inflatable body elevates the position of the mattress or portions thereof relative to the bed base to allow removal and replacement of bed linen such as bed sheets substantially without having to physically lift the mattress.   
     
     
         2 . A mattress raising inflatable according to  claim 1  wherein the boxlike structure of the inflatable body follows a rectangular outline less than 20 mm smaller than the mattress to be lifted. 
     
     
         3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . A mattress raising inflatable according to  claim 1  wherein the cut-outs include one or more internal cut-outs spaced from the periphery. 
     
     
         5 . A mattress raising inflatable according to  claim 1  wherein the cut-outs include one or more outside cut-outs altering the periphery. 
     
     
         6 . A mattress raising inflatable according to  claim 1  wherein the cut-outs include one or more cut-outs spaced from each other and spaced from the periphery. 
     
     
         7 . A mattress raising inflatable according to  claim 1  wherein internal cut-outs decrease inflatable volume by about 20%. 
     
     
         8 . (canceled) 
     
     
         9 . A method of changing bedding on a mattress including the steps of:
 a. providing a mattress raising inflatable below a mattress to be raised;   b. providing a low volume mattress raising inflatable for quick inflation having a mattress raising inflatable comprising an inflatable body formed of panels with a boxlike structure when inflated with a periphery that substantially follows a rectangular outline matching or just smaller than the mattress to be lifted, wherein the panels connected to form cut-outs extend substantially from a top plane of the boxlike structure of the inflatable body to a bottom plane;   c. inflating the mattress raising inflatable through a peripheral inflating valve into an inflating body; and   d. controlling the inflation of the mattress;   wherein in an inflatable condition the inflatable body elevates the position of the mattress or portions thereof relative to the bed base to allow removal and replacement of bed linen such as bed sheets substantially without having to physically lift the mattress.   
     
     
         10 . (canceled) 
     
     
         11 . (canceled) 
     
     
         12 . A method of changing bedding on a mattress according to  claim 9  wherein the step of providing a low volume mattress raising inflatable for quick inflation uses a reduced volume mattress raising inflatable with panels connected to form cut-outs decreasing inflatable volume by about 20%. 
     
     
         13 . A method of changing bedding on a mattress according to  claim 9  wherein the step of controlling the inflation of the mattress uses a single foot switch operation. 
     
     
         14 . A method of changing bedding on a mattress according to  claim 9  wherein the step of controlling the inflation of the mattress uses an auto cut-off switch after 90 seconds of operation or maximum pressure reached. 
     
     
         15 . A method of changing bedding on a mattress according to  claim 9  wherein the step of controlling the inflation of the mattress uses an auto deflation after a short time such as 10 minutes of operation. 
     
     
         16 . A method of changing bedding on a mattress according to  claim 9  wherein the step of controlling the inflation of the mattress uses a bell or alarm that activates once the inflatable body is entirely inflated. 
     
     
         17 . A method of changing bedding on a mattress according to  claim 9  wherein the step of controlling the inflation of the mattress uses a wireless operation with app to control entire multiple beds and can detect whether bed has been inflated and deflated that day. 
     
     
         18 . A method of changing bedding on a mattress according to  claim 9  wherein the step of Inflating the mattress raising inflatable includes an inflation time less than 90 seconds. 
     
     
         19 . A method of changing bedding on a mattress according to  claim 9  wherein the step of Inflating the mattress raising inflatable uses a 500-Watt pump providing inflation time less than 60 seconds.
