A bed sheet is provided that includes a knitted performance fabric having a plurality of spaced apart ventilation ports. The knitted performance fabric has a gauge per square inch, grams per square meter, air permeability and material content that are pre-selected to provide the knitted performance fabric with one or more selected physical features.

A ventilating or heating/cooling element having a first side having an air permeability of 15-800 m.sup.3/m.sup.2/h at 120 Pa. The first side is for directing an air flow toward a person. The ventilating/cooling/heating element may form or form part of a mattress, a duvet/blanket, a pillow, a sleeping bag, a seat, a clothes item or the like. A pump may be provided for providing air into the ventilating/cooling/heating element, or one or more openings may be provided for receiving air when a person is moving, such as when riding a motor cycle.

The invention is an improved utility bedding product for use on beds or reclining chairs, particularly airplane seats. The inventive product is a multi-layered, lie-flat mattress pad that increases the comfort of passengers by providing a soft resting surface made of materials that permit the flow of air through the mattress pad. In preferred embodiments the mattress pad includes a pocket so the pad may be folded or rolled up and secured in a compact configuration for use as a pillow and for ease of transport.

An air-permeable carrier includes at least one temperature adjusting unit and a carrier body having a plurality of pores. The temperature adjusting unit includes an adhesive and a plurality of phase change microcapsules. The temperature adjusting unit is distributed and fixedly embedded within the carrier body by an adhesive-dispensing injection process, such that the temperature adjusting unit is filled in at least one of the pores in a partial region of the carrier body to form at least one temperature adjusting region at a position corresponding and proximate to the temperature adjusting unit. Each horizontal distance or vertical distance between any two adjacent temperature adjusting units can be substantially the same or different, so that when a user leans against the carrier, phase change microcapsules can be communicated with air from the surrounding environment through the pores to achieve the effect of heat adjustment.

A temperature regulating foam padding including a plurality of zones, at least one passive cooling device, disposed in at least a first zone of the plurality of zones, at least one heating device, disposed in at least the first zone, at least one temperature sensor and/or heart rate sensor, disposed in the first zone, and a controller, connected to the heating device and the sensor(s) for controlling the heating device.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for detecting snore and automatically adjusting a bed system to a position intended to mitigate the snore. The bed system can include a mattress, an adjustable foundation, and a controller having a processor. The processor can be configured to generate, in response to sensing snoring from a user of the bed system, instructions for tilting the adjustable foundation to a predetermined position such that an angle between a head portion of the adjustable foundation and the ground is greater than an angle between a foot portion of the adjustable foundation and the ground. The ground can be a horizontal plane. The predetermined position can be a position intended to mitigate snore.

Described herein are textile- and/or foam-based multilayer cushioning assemblies that include a thermally-conductive layer, which imparts beneficial thermal management properties without a significant adverse effect on flexibility and/or cushioning properties, so the textile- and/or foam-based multilayer compositions remain suitable for use in bedding, furniture, clothing, and other applications where they will contact a user and where user comfort is important.

A flippable mattress includes a first memory foam layer, a second memory foam layer, a core layer disposed therebetween and a transition layer between each foam layer and the core. The first memory foam layer has a thickness, and the second memory foam layer has a thickness that is greater than the thickness of the first memory foam layer. The first transition layer has an IFD less than that of the second transition layer. The mattress is flippable between a first orientation in which the first memory foam layer is above the core layer and the second memory foam layer, and a second orientation in which the second memory foam layer is above the core layer and the first memory foam layer.

A mattress configured for placement on a foundation that has forced air ventilation with a plurality of air vents on the upwardly facing side of the foundation. The foundation providing a first flow of air having a first temperature and a second flow of air having a second temperature, the mattress defining a first plurality of air flow paths configured to direct the first flow of air toward a first occupant of the mattress and a second plurality of air flow paths configured to direct the second flow of air toward a second occupant of the mattress. The mattress being configured so that air from the air vents is permitted to pass through the mattress.

A bed sheet is provided that includes a knitted performance fabric having a plurality of spaced apart ventilation ports. The knitted performance fabric has a gauge per square inch, grams per square meter, air permeability and material content that are pre-selected to provide the knitted performance fabric with one or more selected physical features.
