Maternity air mattress with adjustable bellows system
First Claim
1. A multiple chambered maternity mattress having a bellows for providing fine-grained size and firmness adjustability of a centrally disposed womb well section, comprising:
- (a) a mattress having two or more separately inflatable sections including at least one main section for supporting a person'"'"'s body and a variably-sized womb well section for supporting a person'"'"'s abdomen;
(b) said womb well section having a centrally disposed cylindrical chamber and a cylindrical bellows positioned within said chamber; and
(c) whereby upon adjusting the pressure within said bellows the effective size and firmness of said womb well section may be established.

Abstract
An improved multiple chambered maternity mattress (10) is specially configured to include a bellows (24) for providing fine-grained adjustability of size and firmness of its centrally disposed womb well region (AWW). The bellows (24) consisting of a plurality of accordion-like sections which are interconnected to form a single expandable air chamber that is inflatable under the control of the user while actually in use via a remote control unit (16). The womb well is formed as a cylindrical cavity or opening (26) which extends for the full height of the mattress (10) such that the bellows (24) may change its effective height thereby establishing the physical size of the womb well for optimum user comfort and benefit. Low friction materials and/or coatings on the cylindrical cavity walls (28) assure minimal friction of the contacting surfaces and bellows tips assuring an infinitely fine height/size/firmness adjustment.
