A temperature modulation system for a bed, blanket, or other furniture includes a fluid for moderating temperature change, a number of conduit circuits for directing the fluid through respective zones, a control unit including a thermoelectric device for modulating temperature of the fluid, and a pump. Each of the conduit circuits selectively and independently directs fluid through its respective zone in order to produce a temperature within the zone that is independent of the temperature outside the zone. The system also includes an arrangement of one or more zones in an arrangement in which the control unit is programmed to vary the zone temperature over time according to a schedule.

Introduced are methods and systems for: gathering human biological signals, such as heart rate, respiration rate, or temperature; analyzing the gathered human biological signals; and controlling a vibrating pillow strip based on the analysis.

A bed includes components to control pressure of a sleep surface, for example based on sleep position and sleep stages of a user. In some embodiments target pressures for the sleep surface are iteratively adjusted over multiple sleep sessions so to achieve improvements in sleep states and/or sleep quality for the user.

Mattress assemblies including phase change materials and processes for dissipating retained in the mattress assemblies generally include a spacer layer in proximity to one or more foam layers containing a phase change material; and a pump in fluid communication with the spacer layer to provide a positive or negative air flow into the spacer layer to reduce retained heat in the phase change materials subsequent to a sleep cycle. The process includes operating the pump between sleep cycles to reduce the retained heat.

A mattress includes a mattress body, a control unit at the mattress body, a plurality of air conduits defined at the mattress body, and a plurality of air passages extending within the mattress body. The plurality of air conduits is in fluid communication with the control unit and the plurality of air passages such that the plurality of air conduits is configured to convey pressurized air from the control unit to the plurality of air passages. The plurality of air passages can each have an air passage end open at a surface of the mattress body such that pressurized air received from the air conduits is output by the air passages at the surface of the mattress body.

The present disclosure is directed to a bedding panel system comprising a bottom or fitted sheet with embedded channels throughout such that at least one or more modular top panels and cushions can be attached to create physical sleep chamber spaces and thus independent “sleep zones” for multiple occupants on a single mattress. A bedding panel system can have dimensions to fit any size mattress. Fitted sheet, modular panels and cushions can include several layered components, each with comfort or utility features for each sleep chamber space. Top and bottom layers of fitted sheet and modular panels may be comprised of various fabrics and materials desirable for sleep comfort. Middle layers of fitted sheet and modular panels can include items such as foam or gel padding, moisture resistant barriers, biometric sensors for measuring physical health and sleep quality, and hardware for heating and cooling. Customized foot panels with specialized materials and electronic components can also be attached to fitted sheet for elevated comfort in the foot box. Bedding panel system components can be embedded with channels, arranged in crisscross and diagonal patterns, containing reinforced holes spaced symmetrically throughout to accommodate different configurations for modular panel and cushion installations. Anchor systems can include a variety of material and hardware combinations to enable ease of component connections, sleep comfort, and convenience of occupant access to sleep zones. Similar to modular panel configurations, anchors allow cushions, pillows, pillow cases and similar headrests designed for the head box section to remain connected to fitted sheet to ensure sleep materials remain intact and in place for the duration of the occupants sleep session.

A heat exchange system includes a thermoelectric device operably coupled with a support apparatus. The thermoelectric device is configured to reduce a temperature at a first location and increase a temperature at a second location different than the first location. A fan is disposed adjacent to the thermoelectric device. The fan is configured to direct heat generated by the thermoelectric device toward the second location. A controller is communicatively coupled with the thermoelectric device and the fan. The controller is configured to activate the thermoelectric device and the fan to reduce the temperature at the first location and concurrently increase the temperature at the second location. The first location is configured to align with a first area on a patient and the second location is configured to align with a second area on the patient.

A breeze device of an electric bed, relating to the field of electric beds, and comprising a remote controller, a first single chip microcomputer (100), a second single chip microcomputer (200), an electric bed motor (300), and a fan (400). The remote controller is wirelessly connected to the first single chip microcomputer (100); the first single chip microcomputer (100) is electrically connected to the electric bed motor (300); the second single chip microcomputer (200) is electrically connected to the first single chip microcomputer (100); the second single chip microcomputer (200) is electrically connected to the fan (400). The present invention integrates the power supplies and the remote controllers of an electric bed control system and a breeze system, reduces the costs, and improves convenience when a user uses an electric bed.

The present invention provides systems, methods, and articles for stress reduction and sleep promotion. A stress reduction and sleep promotion system includes at least one remote device, at least one body sensor, and at least one remote server. In other embodiments, the stress reduction and sleep promotion system includes machine learning.

A bed includes components to control temperature of a sleep surface, for example based on time and historical usage patterns by a user. In some embodiments the temperature of the sleep surface is controlled based on information indicating a sleep state of the user. In some embodiments the temperature is dynamically adjusted so to achieve particular sleep states and/or sleep patterns for the user. In some embodiments the temperature and timing of temperature adjustments is iteratively adjusted over multiple sleep sessions so to achieve improvements in sleep states and/or sleep quality for the user.
