Hybrid stand alone mattress system

Abstract

A mattress system includes a subframe having fold joints. The subframe includes a foot section, a transition section, a body section, and a head section that are separated by the fold joints. The subframe includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The mattress system further includes a first strap and a second strap. The first strap extends through the foot section from the upper portion of the subframe to a lower portion of the subframe. The second strap extends through the foot section from the lower portion of the subframe to an upper portion of the subframe such that the first and second straps form an X.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A mattress system, comprising:
 a subframe having fold joints, the subframe including a foot section, a transition section, a body section, and a head section that are separated by the fold joints;   a first strap that extends from the foot section to the body section; and   a second strap that is secured to the foot section and is disposed transverse to the first strap.   
     
     
         2 . The mattress system of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second straps have different lengths. 
     
     
         3 . The mattress system of  claim 2 , wherein the first strap is longer than the second strap. 
     
     
         4 . The mattress system of  claim 1 , wherein the foot section includes a border wire to which a first end of the first strap connects. 
     
     
         5 . The mattress system of  claim 4 , wherein a second end of the first strap connects to a cross wire in the body section. 
     
     
         6 . The mattress system of  claim 5 , wherein the first end of the first strap is positioned higher than the second end of the first strap such that the first strap extends in a first direction at an inclined angle. 
     
     
         7 . The mattress system of  claim 6 , wherein the second strap extends in a second direction at an inclined angle, the first and second directions being different. 
     
     
         8 . The mattress system of  claim 1 , wherein the second strap has a first end that connects to a cross wire in the foot section. 
     
     
         9 . The mattress system of  claim 8 , wherein the second strap has a second end that connects to a first fold joint of the fold joints, the first fold joint disposed between the foot section and the transition section. 
     
     
         10 . The mattress system of  claim 1 , wherein the subframe includes sinuous springs supported in the foot section and coils supported in at least one of the transition section, the body section, or the head section of the subframe. 
     
     
         11 . A mattress system, comprising:
 a subframe having fold joints, the subframe including a foot section, a transition section, a body section, and a head section that are separated by the fold joints, the subframe including an upper portion and a lower portion;   a first strap that extends through the foot section from the upper portion of the subframe to a lower portion of the subframe; and   a second strap that extends through the foot section from the lower portion of the subframe to an upper portion of the subframe such that the first and second straps form an X.   
     
     
         12 . The mattress system of  claim 11 , wherein the first and second straps have different lengths. 
     
     
         13 . The mattress system of  claim 12 , wherein the first strap is longer than the second strap. 
     
     
         14 . The mattress system of  claim 11 , wherein the foot section includes a border wire to which a first end of the first strap connects. 
     
     
         15 . The mattress system of  claim 14 , wherein a second end of the first strap connects to a cross wire in the body section. 
     
     
         16 . The mattress system of  claim 15 , wherein the second strap has a first end that connects to a cross wire in the foot section. 
     
     
         17 . The mattress system of  claim 16 , wherein the second strap has a second end that connects to a first fold joint of the fold joints, the first fold joint disposed between the foot section and the transition section to enable relative movement between the foot section and the transition section. 
     
     
         18 . The mattress system of  claim 17 , wherein the subframe includes sinuous springs supported in the foot section. 
     
     
         19 . The mattress system of  claim 18 , wherein the subframe includes coils supported in at least one of the transition section, the body section, or the head section of the subframe. 
     
     
         20 . The mattress system of  claim 19 , wherein a second fold joint extends between the transition section and the body section to enable movement between the transition section and the body, and wherein a third fold joint extends between the body section and the head section to enable movement between the body section and the head section.
