Abstract

A female anatomical mattress including a generally rectangular body supporting structure. The body supporting structure has a pair of side walls with a continuous central section. The central section has an upper panel and a lower panel. The upper panel and lower panel each share a rounded front end and a rounded rear end. The upper panel has a generally rectangular cavity that extends downwardly therefrom and toward the lower panel. Lastly, a generally rectangular head supporting structure is rounded. The head supporting structure is sized for positioning within the cavity of the body supporting structure, when not supporting a person'"'"'s head. The mattress may be foam filled or inflatable.

Claims

1. A female anatomical mattress for supporting a woman laying face-down comprising in combination:

a generally rectangular body supporting structure being formed by three interconnected sectionals, the three interconnected sectionals being formed of a foam material, the three interconnected sectionals forming a front section, rear section and a central section therebetween, the front section and the central section having one common fold with the rear section and the central section having another common fold, each interconnected sectional having a pair of side walls with the side walls of each being continuous at the respective common fold of the three interconnected sectionals,

each of the three interconnected sectionals having an upper panel and a lower panel, the upper panel of the front sectional having a rounded front end being shared with the lower panel of the front sectional, the upper panel of the rear sectional having a rounded rear end being shared with the lower panel of the rear sectional, the upper panel of the front sectional having a generally rectangular cavity extending downwardly therefrom and toward the lower panel of the front sectional;

a continuous sheet of material extending over the three interconnected sectionals and the common folds therebetween, the sheet of material having a pair of, continuous side panels being sized for covering the pair of side walls of the three interconnected sectionals; and

a generally rectangular head supporting structure being sized for positioning within the cavity of the body supporting structure when not supporting a person'"'"'s head.

2. A new and improved female anatomical mattress for supporting a woman laying face-down comprising in combination:

a generally rectangular body supporting structure having a pair of elongated side walls with a continuous central section, the body supporting structure being inflatable, the central section having an upper panel and a lower panel, the upper panel and lower panel each sharing a rounded front end and a rounded rear end, the rounded front end interconnecting the upper panel to the lower panel, the rounded rear end interconnecting the upper panel to the lower panel, the rounded rear end having a valve, the upper panel having a generally rectangular cavity extending downwardly therefrom and toward the lower panel, the cavity being lateral to the pair of elongated side walls and spaced from the rounded front end, the cavity having a wall with a lower point resting upon a pair of interior support columns connected to the lower panel to prevent sliding of the cavity;

a first air tight chamber being formed within the pair of elongated side walls and the continuous central section of the body supporting structure, the air tight chamber having a pair of outer air tubes and a pair of inner air tubes each having common air passages, the pair of outer air tubes being parallel and extending lengthwise of the pair of elongated side walls, the pair of outer air tubes being interconnected to one of the pair of elongated side walls, the pair of inner air tubes each being interconnected to each other and one of the outer air tubes, the pair of inner air tubes extending from the rounded rear end to the cavity of the upper panel;

a second air tight chamber being formed between the rounded front end of the central section and the cavity of the upper panel, the second air tight chamber having a back wall being common with the cavity of the upper panel and a front wall being common with the rounded front end of the central section, the second air tight chamber-sharing a common air passage with the pair of elongated outer air tubes; and

a generally rectangular head supporting structure being sized for positioning within the cavity of the body supporting structure when not supporting a person'"'"'s head, the head supporting structure being inflatable.
