Abstract

A mattress for a birthing bed has three bladders inserted within a foam slab. A lumbar bladder and upper back bladder are on the birthing bed head panel and are attached at their borders to the foam mattress to promote uniform inflation. A seat bladder firms the seat when it is necessary for patient treatment procedures.
