Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a method for the manufacture of a mattress comprising a mattress core and inserts placed on top thereof. For various body zones and also taking account of the lying position of the user on the mattress, the deformation characteristics of the inserts, e.g. the hardness, are determined in such a way that the shape or position of the spinal column of the user at rest corresponds to the shape or position of the spinal column of the user in upright position. The novelty of the invention resides in the fact that this goal is achieved irrespective of the left/right/belly/back lying position of the user on the mattress. To that end a three-dimensional recording of the user takes place and the data thereof are used by a computer program so as to achieve the desired deformation of the inserts.
