         8 . The mattress of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one second side strap aligns with the at least one first side strap along a transverse direction extending between the first side rail and the second side rail. 
     
     
         9 . The mattress of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one second side strap extends in parallel with the at least one first side strap. 
     
     
         10 . The mattress of  claim 2 , wherein a shortest length between the first side rail and the second side rail is longer than a total of a length of each of the at least one first side strap and a length of each of the at least one second side strap. 
     
     
         11 . The mattress of  claim 4 , wherein:
 the first side rail defines a first cutout;   the first first-side strap and the second first-side strap connect the first side rail with the layer on opposite sides of the first cutout;   the second side rail defines a second cutout; and   a first second-side strap and a second second-side strap connect the second side rail with the layer on opposite sides of the second cutout.   
     
     
         12 . The mattress of  claim 3 , further comprising a plurality of fastening elements configured to attach the plurality of straps to the first side rail, the second side rail, and the layer. 
     
     
         13 . The mattress of  claim 12 , wherein the plurality of fastening elements comprises:
 a first fastening element configured to attach the end of the at least one first side strap onto the first side rail; and   a second fastening element configured to attach the opposite end of the at least one first side strap onto the layer.   
     
     
         14 . The mattress of  claim 12 , wherein the plurality of fastening elements comprise at least one of an adhesive tape or a hook and loop fastener. 
     
     
         15 . A bed comprising:
 a mattress including:
 a first foam layer having a top surface and an opposite bottom surface; 
 an inflatable chamber arranged opposite to the top surface of the first foam layer; 
 a foam rail structure including a top foam rail, a bottom foam rail, a first side foam rail, and a second side foam rail opposite the first side foam rail, the foam rail structure extending between the top and bottom foam rails, the foam rail structure extending from a periphery of the first foam layer and configured to surround the inflatable chamber; and 
 a second foam layer positioned under the inflatable chamber; 
   at least one first side strap extending under the inflatable chamber and having (i) an end connected to the first side foam rail and (ii) an opposite end connected to the second foam layer; and   at least one second side strap extending under the inflatable chamber and having (i) an end connected to the second side foam rail and (ii) an opposite end connected to the second foam layer, wherein the at least one first side strap and the at least one second side strap are arranged to extend across a portion of a bottom of the mattress, the portion of the bottom of the mattress being shorter than a shortest length between the first side foam rail and the second side foam rail.   
     
     
         16 . The mattress of  claim 15 , wherein the at least one first side strap and the at least one second side strap are configured to prevent the foam rail structure from substantially bowing. 
     
     
         17 . A bed comprising:
