Abstract:
An allergen-avoidance bed comprising:two end boards forming a headboard and a footboard, both of the end boards being substantially planar and inclined outwardly from the bed at an angle between 5Â° and 25Â° to a vertical, and said end boards each having a curvilinear upper edge which is profiled such that each said upper edge will provide a substantially point contact with a wall to optimize air flow around said end boards and such that the bed cannot be located against a wall in a manner that would compromise the free flow of air around the bed; a pair of stringers for connecting the headboard to the footboard; said end boards each projecting sideways in an arc so as to extend outwardly beyond the stringers to ensure that the bed cannot be located closely adjacent a wall in such a way that airflow around the bed would be significantly impeded; and a mattress base support for supporting an air-mattress between said stringers.
