This invention is a device which creates adjustable acoustic and/or thermal zones in a bed to address sleep issues such as bed partner snoring and hot flashes. Adjustable acoustic bed zones can be created with a flexible movable partition which longitudinally spans a bed from an arch at the head of the bed to an arch at the foot of the bed. Adjustable thermal bed zones can be created with inflow and outflow flexible longitudinal air tubes which are inserted into a space between layers of bedding.

A three dimensional mattress system with environment control is provided which may be configured to provide three dimensional body support to a user. In some embodiments, the system may include a rigid frame that may form a frame cavity. Optionally, the system may include one or more temperature regulators. A plurality of pillows may be positioned within the frame cavity, and a user may be supported by the plurality of pillows. Optionally, one or more air moving devices may be configured to move air external to the frame through the plurality of pillows, and one or more air filters may be configured to filter air moved by the air moving devices.

An air system for a bed can include a layer assembly having a head end, a foot end, and first and second sides, with a head portion near the head end, a foot portion near the foot end, and a middle portion between the head portion and the foot portion, the layer assembly. The layer assembly can have a spacer layer comprising spacer material configured to allow for air flow through the spacer material and a cover comprising a cover top layer and a cover bottom layer. The air system can have a distribution manifold that is substantially fan-shaped with a plurality of ribs defining channels and/or is positioned above the cover bottom layer and under the spacer layer. The air system can have first and second flaps with first and second retention features extending from the head and foot ends of the air layer.

A portable air delivering device for a bed is disclosed to provide a better sleeping environment for a user. The portable air delivering device comprises a housing arranged with a plurality of components to deliver air onto the user sleeping on the bed. The plurality of components comprises a pair of retainer clips to hold a covering sheet, a fan to draw an atmospheric air from outside and deliver a stream of the atmospheric air to flow onto the user sleeping under the covering sheet, and a regulator to regulate a speed of the fan. The housing is fixed to a foldable frame. One frame body is placed securely under a bed mattress, so that the other frame body firmly fixes the housing enabling the housing to face the sleep area at foot part of the bed to allow the flow of air onto the user through the covering sheet.

A system and/or method for proactively inducing a significant drop in blood pressure during sleep is provided herein. The system includes a blood pressure monitor and a stimulating device that provides stimulation to at least a portion of the person's body. For example, the stimulating device may stimulate a portion of the person's body corresponding to the person's peripheral thermoregulatory control tissue. The stimulation increases or maintains blood flow in the person's glabrous tissue. Additionally, the stimulating device provides stimulation in response to the person's blood pressure being above a predetermined threshold.

The present disclosure discloses a ventilation management system for outdoor products, a sleeping bag, and a chair. The ventilation management system for outdoor products comprises a ventilation chamber, a temperature adjustment device, and a mobile power supply. The ventilation chamber is flexible and integrally arranged on the outdoor products, and a side of the ventilation chamber configured to face a human body comprises a plurality of air outlets. The temperature adjustment device comprises a fan and a control module, and the temperature adjustment device is electrically connected to the mobile power supply. The temperature adjustment device is configured to supply cool or warm air to the ventilation chamber, and the cool or warm air is configured to be blown onto the human body via the plurality of air outlets after entering the ventilation chamber. Each of the sleeping bag and the chair comprises the ventilation management system.

An upholstery device has a top face, a bottom face and, between top face and bottom face, sides walls extending around the outer circumference. A cover layer surrounds the top face, the side walls and/or the bottom face. A cushioning layer is arranged under the top cover layer. The cover layer is light-transmissive. The cushioning layer is also light-transmissive. A heat-absorbing flexible absorber layer is arranged underneath the cushioning layer. A solar thermal storage layer is operatively connected to the absorber layer and arranged underneath or above the absorber layer and has phase change material, or PCM. Alternatively, a functional layer with a solar thermal storage layer made of integrated, solar thermal phase change material, or PCM, is arranged underneath the cushioning layer at least in certain regions, in particular over the whole surface, wherein the functional layer has in particular an absorber layer.

Active comfort controlled bedding systems and processes include an air blower assembly for variable climate control. The air blower assembly generally includes a unidirectional air blower configured to flow air to and from a mattress surface overlaying the bucket assembly.

A bed includes environmental control components, which may be temperature control components and pressure adjustment components in some embodiments. The environmental control components may be configured to provide different sleep environments based on identity of sleepers using or expected to use the bed. A controller may determine a number of sleepers for the bed, identify the sleepers, and determine if there is an expectation of later arrival of sleeper in determining a configuration for the environmental control components in providing a sleep environment for the bed.

A bedding system includes a box layer having a duct and an inlet. The duct has a passageway that is in communication with the inlet. A capacitor layer includes a cavity that is in communication with the passageway. A mattress layer includes a bottom surface and a top surface that defines a sleep surface. A hole extends through the top and bottom surfaces and is in communication with the cavity. A central vacuum system includes a power unit, a pipe having a first end that is connected to the power unit and a second end connected to an outlet and a hose having a first end that is connected to the outlet and a second end that is connected to the at least one inlet.
