1. In a mattress of the type adapted for imparting vibrations to a reclining human, the combination comprising:

  • (a) top and bottom resilient members sandwiched upon each other;

    (b) at least two vibrating units positioned between said resilient members, each vibrating until including;

    (i) a frame support and a protective housing mounted securely thereto;

    (ii) an eccentric motor mounted upon said frame and within said protective housing, further including a shaft supporting an adjustable eccentric weight as a control for varying the amplitude of vibrations;

    (iii) a power source and enabling circuit activating said motor in the form of a storage battery positioned on one side of said mattress and between said resilient members and externally accessible to facilitate battery charge, said power source having a protective pivoted cover with closure;

    (iv) and on/off switch within said circuit and presented on one side of said resilient members, so as to be externally actuable;

    (v) a safety light mounted adjacent each on/off switch, so as to enable monitoring and operation of each said vibrating unit;

    (vi) a pivotable protective cover with closure for each said switch; and

    (c) a resonating means in the form of a variable resistor positioned in said enabling circuit, so as to vary the frequency vibration of each said vibrating unit.
