  • Patent number: 8381333
    Abstract: To accommodate safe, convenient, and effective sleeping arrangements perhaps with mothers and babies, the present invention entails a co-sleeping apparatus and methods having a simple support which may be affixed by friction in a bed and uses a cantilever design to support various forms of baby, pet, and doll baskets (or other sleeping receptacles of choice) at close proximity and convenient locations near a resting parent. This simple cantilever design may provide three important advantages: an immediate arms' reach access to an infant without ever having to leave a bed; interference free design perhaps with no floor supports or bulky stands; and an extremely simple method for single-handed mounting, adjusting, and dismounting of an infant, pet, and doll sleeping receptacle and the like. Embodiments may provide stowing the apparatus in a virtually disappearing condition and the apparatus may be easily disassembled or even folded linearly for convenient long term storage.

  • Patent number: 5513402
    Abstract: The mattress system provides adjustability for individuals. A stack of individual mattress elements includes separation sheets to allow the mattress elements to flex and compress separately. In a side by side arrangement for adjusting the mattress between sides for each of two users, modulator foam panels and a movement isolation foam block can be provided to reduce disturbance between sides and to make the centerline between sides more comfortable. Between side by side mattresses or between the mattress and a surrounding foam frame, edge separation sheets allow the mattresses to move up and down without catching or wearing at the interfaces.
