A magnetic mattress pad comprising an uppermost portion, an upper portion, a lower portion and alternating magnetic means for providing changes in magnetic polarity. The alternating magnetic means are disposed in cavities in the upper portion and the lower portion, but the alternating magnetic means are not located in the uppermost portion. The alternating magnetic means comprises a plurality of continuous, or uni-pole, magnets and a plurality of triangularboard button magnets. The plurality of uni-pole magnets are distributed in an asymmetrical fashion and the plurality of triangularboard button magnets are located only in the upper portion whereby the magnetic mattress pad provides highly magnetic magnetotherapy while one rests or sleeps.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A magnetic mattress pad providing magnetotherapy while a person rests or sleeps is disclosed herein.
The magnetic mattress pad comprises alternating magnetic means in the form of a plurality of uni-pole magnets and triangularboard button magnets.
The term "uni-pole magnet" and equivalents used herein are used to indicate a magnet having only one pole (of two) facing the user.
As is well known, all magnets have two poles.
Magnetic monopoles contradict the currently-known laws of physics (Maxwell's famous equations) and the term "uni-pole" is one of convenience for surface description.
The uni-pole magnets are arranged asymmetrically through the mattress pad while the triangularboard button magnets are located only in the upper portion of the mattress pad.
In the upper portion of the mattress pad there are approximately twice as many triangularboard button magnets as there are uni-pole magnets.
There are generally more than twice as many uni-pole magnets in the upper portion than in the lower portion of the mattress pad and generally no magnetic means are located in the uppermost portion of the magnetic mattress pad.
Combining the triangularboard button magnets with the uni-pole magnets allow for a stronger magnetic field than using the uni-pole magnets alone.
These triangularboard button magnets comprise entire or diagonally-bisected equilateral triangles having opposing north and opposing south poles with Leach of the north poles bounded by a south pole.
Each of the triangularboard button magnets may generate approximately 900 Gauss on the surface and 1.
5 Gauss at a distance 0.
75 inches from the surface.
In the preferred embodiment, 200 uni-pole magnets and 234 triangularboard button magnets are present.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a magnetotherapeutic mattress pad.
It is another object of the present invention to provide magnetotherapy while one rests or sleeps.
It is another object of the present invention to provide highly magnetic magnetotherapy while one rests or sleeps
