Resting furniture, in particular sleeping or reclining furniture

Abstract

A bed with a flexible supporting spring system without a frame. The flexible supporting spring system is supported by a supporting frame or directly by the bedstead. The flexible supporting spring system can be rolled and therefore can easily be transported. Above all, however, the flexible supporting spring system can be used for different beds and can be adapted individually to different sleeping cultures.

The item of resting furniture as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein at least some of the bearing means ( 64 ) are movable and/or capable of vibrating per se, in such a manner that the bearing means ( 64 ) permit movements and/or vibrations of the supporting spring system ( 13 ). 
     
     
         6 . The item of resting furniture as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the side strands ( 23 ) are flexible straps, cables and/or bands. 
     
     
         7 . The item of resting furniture as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the side strands ( 23 ) comprises opposite ends and are connected at each of the opposite ends a respective, rigid transverse strut ( 25 ). 
     
     
         8 . The item of resting furniture as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein:
 the supporting means is designed as a supporting frame ( 12 ), which comprises supports for at least partial regions of the side strands ( 23 ); and/or   the supporting means is assigned to a furniture stand, and the supporting means is preferably formed by the furniture stand itself.   
     
     
         9 . The item of resting furniture as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the supporting means is formed by fixed longitudinal profiles ( 36 ) having supporting surfaces for at least partial regions of the side strands ( 23 ), and the longitudinal profiles ( 36 ) are connected fixedly and releasably to the transverse struts ( 25 ), in order to form a frame for supporting the side strands ( 23 ) of the supporting spring system ( 13 ). 
     
     
         10 . An item of resting furniture, in particular an item of sleeping and reclining furniture, comprising:
 a mattress ( 14 );   a supporting spring system ( 13 ) for the mattress ( 14 ), the supporting spring system having transversely directed slats ( 16 ) and bearing means ( 21 ,  40 ,  44 ,  52 ,  59 ,  64 ) assigned to ends ( 19 ) of the slats ( 16 ); and   intermediate pieces ( 20 ,  72 ) for connecting the slats ( 16 ) to the bearing means ( 21 ,  40 ,  44 ,  52 ,  59 ,  64 ).   
     
     
         11 . The item of resting furniture as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the intermediate pieces ( 20 ,  72 ) are assigned to the ends ( 24 ) of the slats ( 16 ), and the intermediate pieces ( 20 ,  72 ) are placed onto the ends ( 24 ) of the slats ( 16 ) or are inserted into the ends ( 24 ) of the slats ( 16 ). 
     
     
         12 . The item of resting furniture as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the intermediate pieces ( 20 ,  72 ) are connected releasably to the bearing means ( 21 ,  40 ,  44 ,  52 ,  59 ,  64 ), by inserting, latching or the like. 
     
     
         13 . The item of resting furniture as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein:
