Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to improvement of bedding. Conventionally, when parents co-sleep with an infant to put them to sleep, they often insert their arm under the infant's head or neck and use the arm as a pillow. At this time, physical contact and skinship between parents and children is extremely important for the child's mental stability and plays an essential role in the child's growth. However, the arm pillow may have negative effects on the child, such as putting pressure on the child's neck and exerting unnatural force, and it also has the disadvantage that the parent's arms may become numb if used for a long time.

The present invention improves the mattress in order to eliminate these drawbacks, and will be explained below based on the drawings.

Figure 1 is a plan view of the mattress according to the present invention.
An arm pillow groove 1 with an appropriate depth is provided in the lateral direction at a portion corresponding to the shoulder position when a person lies on a mattress. A foam/rubber material 3 is pasted onto the arm pillow groove 1 from the back of the mattress outer fabric 2 in order to maintain its shape over many years and to adapt to the shape of the arm. The arm pillow groove 1 is covered with a cover cloth 5 made elastic by sewing rubber thread or the like. The inside of the mattress outer cloth 2 contains cotton 4 like a normal mattress. Since the present invention has the above-described structure, when sleeping with a child and using an arm pillow, the cover cloth 5 can be easily moved by lying the arm on the cover cloth 5 that covers the arm pillow groove 1. It stretches and sinks along the contour of the groove, making the height just right, so it won't put undue stress on the child's neck, and it won't cause numbness in the arms even if the child falls asleep.

Furthermore, even if the parent wakes up after putting the child to bed, the arm can be easily pulled out and the child will not wake up. Furthermore, even when an adult sleeps alone, the grooves are located from the shoulders to the nape of the neck, providing the same comfort as a regular mattress. Furthermore, since the arm pillow groove 1 is covered with the cover cloth 5 when not in use, there is a feature that dust and dirt do not enter the groove.

As described above, the present invention can be said to be a useful invention that allows good emotional contact with children to be achieved with an extremely simple device.
