Description

{A Motion Matress with a Rolling Function}

The present invention relates to a motion mattress having a rolling function, and more particularly, to a motion mattress having a rolling function in which a part supporting the hips and legs and a part supporting the back can be adjusted at an angle centered on a part supporting the waist, while allowing massage or acupressure of the back area.

A mattress is a thick-shaped mat used for a bed, and can be used in a bed or alone. For example, a mattress can be a tool for lying down to rest while functioning as a bedding on its own. A mattress for resting can be placed in a place such as a living room for watching TV or resting, and in such cases, it is advantageous for the mattress to be made in a shape that allows a comfortable posture. Regarding a mattress having such a structure, Patent Registration No. 10-2561170 discloses a motion bed. In addition, Patent Publication No. 10-2020-0109744 discloses a motion bed having a function of adjusting the angle of the user's upper body. It is advantageous for a motion bed or motion mattress to have a structure that can adjust the angle of the upper or lower body, have a rolling function that applies pressure stimulation to the spine, and have a temperature controllable structure. However, the prior art does not disclose a motion bed or motion mattress having such a function.

The present invention is intended to solve the problems of prior art and has the following objectives.
