By providing a plurality of preformed components which are quickly and easily affixed in engagement with each other, a final construction is realized which peripherally surrounds any desired mattress configuration in cooperating association therewith. In this way, a new foam plastic product is achieved which is capable of being quickly and easily mounted to mattress constructions peripherally surrounding the mattress and providing an enhanced side support system. In this way, any desired mattress size or configuration is capable of being peripherally surrounded with a foam support assembly for enhancing the mattress construction and configuration. Furthermore, by employing the present invention, a rapid, convenient, and virtually labor free assembly is realized.

1. A side support system for a mattress, comprising four foam members, each of the four foam members including a first terminating end;a longitudinal axis;a second terminating end opposite the first terminating end; anda living hinge disposed between the first terminating end and the second terminating end, the living hinge configured to move the first terminating end and the second terminating end between a first configuration and a second configuration,wherein for each of the four foam members in the first configuration, the second terminating end is opposite the first terminating end along the longitudinal axis of each of the four foam members,wherein for each of the four members in the second configuration, the first end and the second end are orientated at a ninety degree angle with respect to each other to thereby be configured to be in a cooperative surrounding relationship with a corner of the mattress assembly,wherein the first terminating end of each of the four foam members is configured to abut the first terminating end of another of the four foam members when the four foam members collectively surround a periphery of the mattress assembly, and the second terminating end of each of the four foam members is configured to abut the second terminating end of another of the four foam members when the four foam members collectively surround the periphery of the mattress assembly. 2. The side support system of claim 1, wherein the living hinge of each of the four foam members is configured to form a locked interengagement in the second configuration. 3. The side support system of claim 2, wherein the living hinge of each of the four foam members includes mating portions configured to be positioned in the locked interengagement. 4. The side support system of claim 3, wherein the mating portions of each of the four foam members are integral with each of the four foam members. 5. The side support system of claim 1, wherein the living hinge of each of the four foam members forms a fillet surface of each of the four foam members in the second configuration. 6. The side support system of claim 1, wherein each of the four foam members further comprises a key receiving portion formed in an inside wall of each of the four foam members, the key receiving portion is configured to receive a key element resulting in the key element to be inwardly extending and thereby be inserted between cooperating coils of the mattress assembly. 7. The side support system of claim 6, wherein the key receiving portion of each of the four foam members is configured to prevent the key element inserted into the key receiving portion from being pulled out orthogonally from the inside wall of one of the four foam members. 8. The side support system of claim 7, wherein the key receiving portion of each of the four foam members includes a contact surface at least partially facing away from the inside wall of each of the four foam members to prevent the key element from being pulled out orthogonally. 9. The side support system of claim 1, wherein each of the four foam members further comprises a key locking element configured to be inserted between cooperating coils of the mattress assembly. 10. The side support system of claim 9, wherein the key locking element of each of the four foam elements is integrally formed along an inside surface of each of the four foam members. 11. The side support system of claim 10, wherein the key locking element of each of the four foam elements is pivotably movable relative to a portion of the inside surface of each of the four foam members. 12. The side support system of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of first locking members configured to attach the first terminating end of each of the four foam members to the first terminating end of another of the four foam members when the four foam members collectively surround a periphery of the mattress assembly. 13. The side support system of claim 12, wherein the plurality of second locking members are configured to attach the second terminating end of each of the four foam members to the second terminating end of another of the four foam members when the four foam members collectively surround a periphery of the mattress assembly. 14. The side support system of claim 13, wherein each of the plurality of first locking members is configured to be inserted into a first receiving cavity of each of two of the four foam members, and each of the plurality of second locking members is configured to be inserted into a second receiving cavity of each of two of the four foam members. 15. The side support system of claim 14, wherein each of the plurality of first locking members and each of the plurality of second locking members include a cross-sectional shape of a double-headed arrow. 16. A side support system for a mattress, comprising four foam members and four foam corner members configured to collectively surround a periphery of a mattress assembly, each of the four foam members abuts and is attached to two of the four foam members with at least two of a plurality of elongated locking plates. 17. The side support system of claim 16, wherein each of the four foam members include a first terminating end including a first receiving cavity configured to receive a first portion of one of the plurality of elongated locking plates,a second terminating end opposite the first terminating end, and the second terminating end including a second receiving cavity configured to receive a first portion of another of the plurality of elongated locking plates. 18. The side support of claim 17, wherein each of the four foam corner members comprises a first receiving corner cavity configured to receive a second portion of one of the plurality of elongated locking plates,a second receiving corner cavity configured to receive a second portion of another of the plurality of elongated locking plates. 19. The side support of claim 16, wherein each of the four foam corner members comprises a fillet surface configured to face the mattress assembly.
