Description

Mattress assembly The present invention relates to a mattress assembly. A mattress assembly is a device that supports a user lying down or sitting, and includes a mattress that provides cushioning inside, offering comfort and coziness to the user. A massage device is a device that provides a massage function to a user and includes a massage module that massages the user. The massage module includes massage balls made of a hard material to provide a massage sensation to the user. Meanwhile, since the mattress assembly is a device designed to provide cushioning to the user and the massage device is designed to provide a massage sensation, it is common for the mattress assembly and the massage device to be configured separately. Consequently, there is a problem in that the user must move to the mattress assembly to sleep or rest after receiving a massage from the massage device. Even if a massage module is incorporated into the mattress assembly, there is a problem in that the hard massage balls come into contact with the body during sleep or rest, causing discomfort, and it is difficult to provide a sufficient massage sensation to the user due to the thickness of the mattress when the user is performing the massage. In addition, recently there has been growing interest in methods that can relieve user fatigue and maintain health by massaging acupoints distributed within the body based on Korean medicine, rather than simply massaging or acupressure on specific body parts. Review relevant prior art. Patent Document 1 (Korean Registered Patent Document No. 10-2497451) discloses a massage mattress in which a vibration means disposed on the upper layer of a cushion layer massages the user, but the vibration means still comes into contact with the body even when the user is sleeping or resting, causing discomfort to the user. Patent Document 2 (Korean Registered Patent Document No. 10-2073139) discloses a massage chair capable of acupoint massage, but the backrest of the massage chair forms a certain angle with the seat, so there is a problem that it is difficult to use when the user is actually sleeping. In addition, even when performing a massage, there is a problem that it is difficult to provide a sufficient massage sensation to the user due to the thickness of the backrest.
