Abstract: A base for bed mattress having a plurality of transverse slats, with each slat end attached to the frame of the base and pivotally connected to first end of a rod at the centre of each slat is provided. The rod is attached at its second end to a dynamic pulley. The dynamic pulleys are connected by a common cord or flexible attachment running over stationary pulleys mounted between the slats to a central beam attached to the frame of the base. Improved distribution of human body support can thus be achieved independent of the contour and weight of the body at any sleeping position. Springiness of the base can be modified by changing the elasticity of the flexible attachment. The dynamic support base reduces the need for thickness of the mattress and of the bed pillow.
