Bed mattresses are essential furniture in beddings for human use in modern life. Elastic bed mattresses with a middle part having elastic components are becoming increasingly popular for relaxation during sleep with increasing pressure in human lives. A soft mattress, elastic components, and a base of the existing elastic bed mattresses having the elastic components are usually integrated to form a whole structure. Upper ends of springs are connected together, causing surrounding elastic components to be simultaneously stressed when a local stress is applied to the elastic mattress. Therefore, a range of the stress applied to the elastic components of the existing elastic mattresses cannot be adjusted following a body posture on the elastic mattress. Additionally, the stress applied to the elastic mattress cannot be adjusted according to a sleeping posture of a person to enable the elastic mattress to conform to a curve of a human body to be softer and more comfortable.
