Abstract:
A mattress with interactive elastic elements, comprising a plurality of hollow polyhedrons made of at least one of an elastic material and a yielding material, said hollow polyhedrons being interconnected with each other to form at least one row such that said hollow polyhedrons are each configured to compress when a weight bears on the mattress by bulging out in a horizontal direction with respect to a geometric shape of said mattress and configured to exert a pressure on at least one adjacent hollow polyhedron of said hollow polyhedrons to expand in a vertical direction with respect to the geometric shape of said mattress;wherein: said hollow polyhedrons each comprise an octagonal base, said octagonal bases each having at least two opposing lateral surfaces perpendicular to a horizontal plane of said mattress and said at least two opposing lateral surfaces each maintaining contact with a respective one of said at least two opposing lateral surfaces of adjacent ones of said octagonal bases; and said hollow polyhedrons are arranged in a plurality of longitudinal rows with respect to the geometric shape of said mattress and are held in position within each of said longitudinal rows formed by a plurality of guide bars transversely tied by a plurality of coupling elements positioned on at least one surface of each of said hollow polyhedrons.
