Double mattress connecting system (Mechanical Patents)

Patent no: 10,624,464
Issued: April 21, 2020
Inventor: Shuaib
Attorney: Michael Feigin

Abstract

Two mattresses, of a same a different depth, share a same length and width. Each is in a shape of a rectangular prism and when placed one on top of the other, a larger rectangular prism is created. In order to hold the two mattresses in place when used together, a connector or connectors emanating from the sides or corners of each mattress are used. Such connectors can include hoop and loop fasteners, rings, hooks, lengths of fabric, and any combination thereof which hold the mattresses together in a taut manner.
