摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To develop a new mattress improved in nursing care/medical suitability as a technical problem in which a body may not sink partially when a care-receiver takes a supine posture, and it can exhibit an effect similarly even in the posture of a half sitting position while comprising such a function as the excessive pressure constriction may not be caused even in sacrum regions being multiple onset regions of bed sore.;SOLUTION: A mattress 1 is formed by comprising elastic foam 2, and multiple sheet materials 3 provided between base layer elastic foam 20 and upper layer elastic foam 21. The mattress employs the usage pattern where the user P is positioned thereupon with a lying position using the elastic foam 2 as a flat state, and the usage pattern where the user P is positioned thereupon with the posture of a half sitting position by folding and raising the rear of the elastic foam 2 in the longitudinal direction. The mattress is characterized in that multiple pieces of sheet material are arranged along a longitudinal direction of the elastic foam, and at least one piece of these sheet materials is formed in an arched shape in a plan view.;SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1;COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT
