The invention is a flame-retardant fabric which includes a network of interconnected yarns. At least some of the yarns comprise fiberglass fibers. At least 30 weight percent, and preferably substantially all of the fiberglass fibers in the fabric are coated with a polymer composition comprising a fiberglass binding agent. The fabric of the present invention is used as a covering in furniture, such as a flame-retardant sock to surround the core of a mattress. The invention is also a method of producing a flame-retardant fabric. A fabric of interconnected yarns is provided. At least some of the yarns comprise fiberglass fiber. Those fiberglass fibers are coated with a coating composition comprising a polymer and a fiberglass bonding agent.

Systems and apparatuses include a mattress assembly including a tub including vertically extending rails and a base and defining an interior cavity bound by the rails and the base, a plurality of non-laminated and rearrangeable layers positioned within the interior cavity to provide both support and comfort levels within the mattress assembly, each layer including a layer cover and a layer foam, and a cover system that includes a removable cover allowing selective access to the plurality of layers and the interior cavity and selectively compressing the plurality of layers within the tub.

Antiviral-treated fabric layers for mattress assemblies includes a silver halide and liposome carrier. Additionally, the envelope encapsulating a cushioning material can include an antiviral-treated fabric. The antiviral-treated fabric can include silver halide and a liposome carrier, wherein the liposome carrier is a vesicle.

A portable therapeutic unit and system for treating a back, a neck, or the back and the neck of a user is disclosed. The therapeutic unit includes a first seat, a back support, a hinge, and a metal back. The first seat is designed for the user to sit thereupon. The back support is designed to support a back of the user. The hinge pivotally connects the first seat and the back support. The metal back is connected to the back support, with the metal back magnetically coupling with an attachment magnet. Further, the attachment magnet couples to a therapeutic aid to deliver treatment to the user.

The disclosure provides a chair or seat assembly comprising a seat, a back support, and a support arm coupling the back support to the seat. The support arm comprises an illumination and control assembly. The illumination and control assembly comprises an illuminator, and a controller coupled to the illuminator. The illumination and control assembly further comprises an accelerometer, and the controller is coupled to the accelerometer.

A method of controlling an adjustable chair comprising the steps of measuring the height of a person, entering the height of the person into a software application on a mobile device, taking a photograph of the person with a mobile device, analyzing the photograph to determine physical measurements of the person, storing the measurements in the mobile device; calculating optimum ergonomic adjustment of the chair based upon the stored measurements; and, transmitting signals to a controller in the chair to control actuators and adjust various components in the chair to achieve optimum ergonomic adjustment. The technology also includes the ergonomic task chair adjusted by the aforementioned method.

The present invention is generally directed to systems related to sleeping, playing and provision of non-toxic environments, components related to those systems, and methods involving the systems or components. It is more particularly directed to systems, components and methods that aid early infant cognitive development, improve ventilation inside a crib, promote fresh and/or odor free air, promote thermoregulation and homeostasis, protect the person using the systems, components and methods from biological toxins, and create healthy sleeping environments for infants, toddlers, children and adults. One sleep system according to the present invention includes a cover, a core, and a bottom. The cover includes at least two raised areas. The raised areas have one or more heights ranging from 0.125 inch to 5.0 inches and diameters ranging of 0.25 to 10.0 inches.

In one example, this disclosure describes an adjustable bed system that includes first and second adjustable foundations, at least one first motor to adjust the first adjustable foundation, at least one second motor to adjust the second adjustable foundation, a configurable device having a first state and a second state, and a central controller in communication with the device, the controller configured to receive an input representing one of the first state and the second state, the controller including a processor configured to control the at least one first motor and the at least one second motor based on the received input.

A bedding system uses a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based machine vision to makes adjustments for comfort and/or support. The machine vision process identifies a body position by using a trained CNN that receives a pressure image and identifies a body position. The body position may be determined by classifying the pressure image into a predetermined body position classification. The machine vision process includes at least one trained CNN that determines joint locations. The machine vision tracks pressure accumulated at joints over time.

A recliner or lift and recliner chair is provided having a recline or lift and recline chair mechanism with preferably with at least one recline or lift-recline actuator that controls a reclining movement or a lifting and reclining movement. The chair mechanism has a recline or lift-recline base, a seat and a back connected thereto. For additional functionality, a cradle assembly is provided in order to provide a cradling movement to the recline or lift-recline base. The cradle assembly includes pivot connections between recline or lift-recline base and the cradle base. A cradle actuator is connected between the cradle base and the recline or lift-recline base. A controller is provided that controls movement of the cradle actuator and preferably at least one recline or lift-recline actuator.
