Abstract: The present invention is related to a system for determining an optimal mattress type for an individual, the system comprising a body shape measurement assembly and an optimal mattress type determination means. The body shape measurement assembly comprising a plurality of reference measurement lines (110) and a camera (112) facing the plurality of reference measurement lines to measure the body shape of an individual in a receiving area in the system, by scanning a front image and side image of the individual, and analyzing the scanned images relative to the plurality of reference measurement lines so as to determine a front profile and a side profile of the individual.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a mattress measurement tool (100). The mattress measurement tool (100) comprises mattress-engaging pads (110A, 110B), where the mattress-engaging pads (110A, 110B) are located at each free end of the substantially horizontal cross-member (108). The mattress measurement tool (100) further comprises a distance measuring device (118) for measuring a conformity characteristic of the mattress. The mattress measurement tool (100) is capable of measuring support, conformity and rebound of the mattress.
