A method and system for temperature control of a microclimate device are disclosed. The temperature control can be integrated into a reservation system for the microclimate device. A user interface can receive a user input of a temperature control setting. The user interface can be integrated into the microclimate device. A processor can receive the user input and control a heating and/or cooling device to execute the temperature control setting.

A system of controlling various actuators associated with human support surfaces is disclosed. Such a system is made up of a support surface, a controller, and an actuator. The system may optionally include batteries, a means of charging the batteries, and a graphical user interface as well as a communication link between the graphical user interface and the support surfaces. The actuators are capable of altering contour and/or firmness, of a support surface, they may be vibrational or heating/cooling in nature, and they may also alter the overall relative position of a support surface to another support surface, and/or to the ground plane.

This disclosure is directed to improved chair assemblies that can be integrated with various technologies, including heating, massaging technologies, cooling, and other technologies. Various portions of the chair assemblies include attachment structures that permit electronic assemblies to be attached and removed from the chair assemblies. The electronic assemblies can include electronics that facilitate heat therapy, massage therapy, and/or cooling therapy functions.

A cooling device includes an insulated cooler for holding cold fluid and ice. The device has a chamber, a cover, and a fill and drain valve. A tube connects the valve to a pump. The pump provides cold fluid to a bladder configured to fit a chair. The bladder can include a back portion, a seat portion and an internal manifold arranged in a closed loop for optimized cooling. The bladder can be reconfigured to cool a targeted portion of a user's body such as a leg, arm, neck, or torso.

An outdoor chaise lounge may include a frame, multiple legs coupled to and extending below the frame to support the frame, a seat member coupled to the frame to enable a user to sit or lay on the seat member, a lock-box fixedly supported by the frame that enables a user of the outdoor chaise lounge to store and lock items therein. The lock-box may include a lock-box door inclusive of a user interface that enables a user to lock and unlock the lock-box. A door member may be coupled to the seat member and have a closed position and an open position such that when said door member is in the open position, the user has access to the user interface on the lock-box door.

The present invention relates to an outdoor and/or collapsible chair (1), said chair (1) having: a frame (2), the frame (2) having a pair of elongate front members (4) spaced apart by at least one cross member (5); a pair of elongate rear members (7) spaced apart by at least one cross member (8); at least one side member (10) extending between each of said front and rear members (4, 7); a flexible seat (15), adapted in use to be supported by said frame (2) between said side members (10), said seat (15) having a bottom portion (17) and a back portion (18), said portions (17, 18) having a front surface (20) and a back surface (21); and at least one temperature controlling pocket (30) located adjacent said bottom portion (17) and/or said back portion (18) to provide in use temperature control to a region of a user when sitting in said chair (1).

A distribution system for a vehicle seat The distribution system includes one or more plenums that each have a cap layer, a support layer, and an open space formed between the cap layer and the support layer. The support layer is a generally rigid material and the cap layer is a generally flexible material that is connected to the support layer. The open space includes one or more baffles that assist in directing fluid between a blower connected to the one or more plenums and one or more ventilation holes.

A furnishing unit includes at least one surface configured support weight of a user of the furnishing unit, an identifier conveyance unit configured to convey furnishing unit identifier data of the furnishing unit; and a furnishing processing system. The furnishing processing system is operable to receive experience selection data generated by a client device associated with the user based on user input by the user to an interactive user interface, where the client device generates the experience selection data based on determining the furnishing unit identifier data for the furnishing unit via an identifier input element when in proximity to the furnishing unit. The furnishing processing system is further operable to configure output of at least one experience facilitation element of a set of experience facilitation elements associated with the furnishing unit based on the experience selection data.

Upholstery support arrangements for conditioned furniture are disclosed herein. A representative arrangement, such as for a ventilated bed, comprises an upholstery support structure having a support platform that defines a support plane, for supporting an upholstery item, the upholstery support platform having a first array of apertures that allow a flow of air through the support platform; the upholstery supported on the support platform (e.g., a mattress) having a bottom face facing the support platform and including a second array of apertures positioned to allow the flow of air through the bottom face into the upholstery; wherein a periodicity of the first array of apertures and a periodicity of the second array of apertures are matched to one another.
