Further, the retractable tent may be facilitated or designed in different shapes such as a rectangular shape, a dome shape, a half-dome shape, or the like.

Described herein are multifunctional smart beds and methods of operating thereof. Specifically, a multifunctional smart bed comprises a controller, configured to receive input from various sensors (e.g., load cells positioned in bed legs, thermometers, and/or microphones) and/or user. These inputs are analyzed and used to control various bed components to improve the sleep quality, to monitor users' health, score couple's relationship, and the like. For example, these inputs may be used to control firmness of different mattress portions, change orientations of head, torso, and/or leg sections, adjust the light, and the like. In some examples, the smart bed generates a report indicating one or more sleep duration, sleep depth profile, sleep scope, heart rate, breadth rate, environment conditions, couple's relationship, and the like. Furthermore, in some examples, a multifunctional smart bed is also configured to control external devices in the same environment, e.g., smart switches, smart thermostats.

A bed includes a frame having a plurality of rails and a plurality of legs. A pair of rails of the plurality of rails form a channel therebetween, and the plurality of legs positions the plurality of rails above a floor surface. An electronic module is coupled to the frame. The electronic module includes a housing configured to be disposed at least partially within the channel and supported by the pair of rails. A pair of speakers disposed within the housing, and each of the pair of speakers includes a cone that has a concave surface that opens in a direction towards the floor surface. One or more microphones supported on an exterior of the housing, the one or more microphones are oriented in a direction away from the pair of speakers.

The rocking bed base is configured for use with a mattress. The rocking bed base is configured to fit inside of the existing bed frame or replace the bed frame and box spring traditionally associated with a mattress. The rocking bed base comprises a pedestal, a mattress container, the mattress, and a personal data device. The mattress container attaches to the pedestal. The mattress is contained within the mattress container. The mattress container is motorized such that the mattress container will rhythmically rotate around an axis of rotation that is parallel to the major axis of the pedestal. The personal data device controls the rotation of the mattress container. The personal data device further controls the sleeping environment in the space around the rocking bed base.

A patient support apparatus pneumatic system may include a mattress defining an interior and a pneumatic enclosure in fluid communication with the interior and comprising an inlet and an outlet. A blower may be in fluid communication with the interior and the pneumatic enclosure. A pressure sensor may be configured to detect a pressure at the outlet. A controller may be configured to monitor a speed of the blower and the pressure at the outlet for detecting at least one of an intake blockage condition and an exhaust blockage condition.

Introduced are methods and systems for a sleep pod. An occupant of a sleep pod can have a personalized sleeping experience based on an analysis of biological signals, environmental characteristics, occupant history, and other factors.

The invention relates to a piece of sleeping or reclining furniture, comprising a support element (2) for applying a padding or a mattress and at least one sensor (12) for detecting vibrations, movement, and/or sound. The piece of sleeping or reclining furniture is characterized in that the at least one sensor (12) is arranged at a section (120) of the support element (2) that is decoupled from further sections of the support element (2) and/or of the sleeping or reclining furniture.

Bed safety rails with added structures for added functionality are shown and described. The added structures may provide additional functionality, aside from safety and security, of electrical power access, a shelf, a cup-holder, a writing-implement-holder, a light-source, a dry erase board, and/or a magnet board for a given bed safety rail. A given bed safety rail may include at least one vertical-safety-rail-member and at least one horizontal-anchor-member that is attached to the vertical-safety-rail-member. The at least one vertical-safety-rail-member may provide the safety and security features; as well as the additional functional features. The at least one horizontal-anchor-member may have structure permitting the given bed safety rail to be removably anchored to a given bed.
