madrassens

Madrassens is the possessive form of the noun madrass in several Scandinavian languages, including Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish. It denotes something that belongs to or is associated with a mattress. In use, it appears in phrases such as madrassens tykkelse (the mattress’s thickness) or madrassens materiale (the mattress’s material).

The base word madrass refers to a bed mattress, a device used for sleeping that provides support and comfort. The form madrassens is not a separate lexical entry but a grammatical inflection that signals possession. In Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, the definite singular form for the mattress is typically madrassen, and adding the possessive marker yields madrassens. The construction is common in written and spoken language when describing attributes or components linked to a specific mattress.

Etymology of madrass traces back to the French matelas, with further transmission through German and other European languages. The Scandinavian word has developed into various related forms such as madrass (the mattress) and madrassen (the definite form), with madrassens serving as the genitive or possessive form in modern usage. The term remains a standard part of everyday vocabulary in contexts ranging from furniture descriptions to health and comfort discussions related to mattresses.
