SLEEP ENCLOSURE ASSEMBLY
A multi-functional enclosed sleep environment for providing an improved sleep experience. A sleep enclosure assembly may be configured to partially or fully enclose a user's sleep area or bed. The sleep enclosure assembly may be stored within a housing located proximate to a user's bed or sleep area, and may be fully or partially deployable such that the user's bed or sleep area is fully enclosed within a canopy of the sleep enclosure assembly. The sleep enclosure assembly may include one or more environmental control modules designed to control or regulate one or more aspects of the sleep area according to a user's preferences, including the sound, light, temperature, air quality, ventilation, and/or humidity of the sleeping environment. The sleep enclosure assembly may further be controlled by software running on a computing device allowing a user to customize one or more aspects of the sleep environment.
Four-in-one mattress management system
A four-in-one mattress management system and method is disclosed for facilitating various tasks associated with beds of all sizes including making beds; rotating mattresses; holding a bed skirt in place while a mattress is rotated; installing or removing and re-installing a mattress, for example, in order to replace a bed skirt. The system includes an active mode and a passive mode. In an active mode, all four tasks mentioned above can be performed. A passive mode selectable. In a passive mode, the mattress can be easily rotated in a horizontal plane. During that mode, the system holds down the bed skirt while the mattress is being rotated. In an active mode, the present invention facilitates bed making and thus increases the efficiency of the housekeeping staff leaving more time for the housekeeping staff to attend to the rest of the room. The active mode also facilitates installation and replacement of bed skirts.

Device for wireless charging of at least one portable electronic device capable of being fixed to a portion of furniture
A device for wireless charging of portable electronic devices is provided. The device is capable of being fixed to a piece of furniture and includes a charger configured to transmit electricity via induction; a horizontal arm of an angular shelf beneath which the charger is mounted; and an angular bracket configured to mount the device to the piece of furniture by adjusting a spacing between a vertical arm of the angular bracket and a vertical arm of the angular shelf to approximately a width of the piece of furniture, wherein the charger is mounted between the angular bracket and the angular shelf, and wherein the angular bracket is slidably mounted in relation to the vertical arm of the angular shelf.
Sleeping or reclining furniture, analyzing unit for a sensor of sleeping or reclining furniture, and method for analyzing signals of a sensor
The invention relates to an analyzing unit (9′) for connecting to at least one sensor (12) which can be coupled to sleeping or reclining furniture in order to detect vibrations, movement, and/or sound. The analyzing unit (9′) is designed to process and analyze the signals of the at least one sensor (12) and detect physiological parameters (P) of a person using the sleeping or reclining furniture, and the analyzing unit (9′) is designed to transmit data to or exchange data with at least one external component. The invention further relates to a method for analyzing signals of at least one such sensor (12) and to sleeping or reclining furniture, in particular a bed (1), comprising at least one such sensor (12).
Sleeping or reclining furniture and electric motor furniture drive for such furniture
The invention relates to an electric motor furniture drive for sleeping or reclining furniture, comprising a number of adjusting motors (7, 8) for moving at least one movable furniture component relative to an additional furniture component by means of an electric motor and comprising a manual operation unit (10) for operating the adjusting motors (7, 8). The electric motor furniture drive is characterized in that at least one sensor (12) is provided for detecting vibrations and/or sound, said sensor being coupleable to the sleeping furniture, and an analyzing unit is provided which is connected to the at least one sensor (12). The analyzing unit is designed to process and analyze the signals of the at least one sensor (12) and detect physiological parameters of a person using the sleeping or reclining furniture.
Smart furniture controller with voice recognition
The disclosure relates to a smart furniture controller with voice recognition, including a controller body and a control circuit. The control circuit is disposed in the controller body. The control circuit comprises a main control unit, a voice recognition module, an operation panel, a control output interface and a power module. The voice recognition module is connected to the main control unit; a microphone and a loudspeaker are connected to the voice recognition module; the operation panel is connected to the main control unit, and the control output interface is connected to the main control unit. The disclosed embodiments integrate a voice recognition module in the controller. Voice commands can be recognized through the voice recognition module, allowing to control the smart furniture via voice, and making the operation simpler and more convenient.
Active mattress spinner
A device is disclosed for facilitating rotation of a mattress. In order to facilitate rotation, an expandable volume creates an air cushion between the mattress and the box spring under the influence of an air supply which lifts the mattress and allows the mattress to be rotated. One or more covers, which may include a slick surface, may be provided that incorporate or operate in conjunction with the expandable volume. In some examples, the expandable volume and/or the slick surface may be incorporated into the mattress, or box spring or platform.
