The present invention provides systems, methods, and articles for temperature conditioning a surface. An article is formed from a first layer having a plurality of openings and a second layer having a corresponding plurality of openings. At least one interior chamber constructed and configured to retain a fluid without leaking is defined between an interior surface of the first layer and an interior surface of the second layer. At least one flexible fluid supply line delivers the fluid to the at least one interior chamber. At least one flexible fluid return line removes the fluid from the at least one interior chamber. At least one control unit that is operable to selectively cool or heat the fluid is attached to the at least one flexible fluid supply line and the at least one flexible fluid return line.

A sleep system includes a ticking for a mattress, a bed cover, and a pillow cover. The ticking for a mattress is made of a first material. The ticking and the mattress together have a first set of temperature regulating performance-based properties associated therewith. The bed cover is made of the first material or of a second material having substantially the same temperature regulating performance-based properties as the first set of temperature regulating performance-based properties. The pillow cover is made of the first material, the second material, or of a third material having substantially the same temperature regulating performance-based properties as the first or second set of temperature regulating performance-based properties.

Disclosed are techniques for temperature control of a bed. A system can include a bed having first and second sides, the bed having a mattress, a first thermal module on the first side, and a second thermal module on the second side. A computer system can receive data about the bed, such as temperature, pressure, heat routine activation, and cool routine activation data for at least one of the first and second side, determine that a heat routine is activated on the first side based on the data, detect that the second side is unoccupied by a user, generate, based on (i) the heat routine being activated and (ii) the second side being unoccupied, instructions that cause the second thermal module to activate a heat crosstalk mitigation routine, and transmit the instructions to the second thermal module for activation of the heat crosstalk mitigation routine on the second side.

A ventilated mattress includes a ventilation system with an air distribution layer and a gel cushioning layer over the air distribution layer. The air distribution layer may include channels in a surface thereof, while voids that extend through an entire thickness of the gel cushioning layer may include voids that communicate with the channels. As the ventilation system forces air into the air distribution layer, the air may flow through the channels, into and through the voids of the gel cushioning layer, and to a top of the ventilated mattress.

Disclosed is a bed construction for conditioned furniture e.g., a ventilated bed, comprising a base frame; a leg module extending from the base frame; and a tub-shaped outer shell, supported by the base frame, forming a cavity for accommodating a ventilation unit. The base frame can be arranged in the cavity, wherein the leg module extends from the base frame through respective openings in a bottom of the outer shell.

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.

According to certain arrangements, a conditioner mat for use with a bed assembly includes an upper layer comprising a plurality of openings, a lower layer being substantially fluid impermeable, at least one interior chamber defined by the upper layer and the lower layer and a spacer material positioned within the interior chamber. In one embodiment, the spacer material is configured to maintain a shape of the interior chamber and to help with the passage of fluids within a portion of interior chamber. The conditioner mat can be configured to releasably secure to a top of a bed assembly.

A bed integrates sensors and other inputs to detect specific sleep environment conditions including point-specific pressure and/or temperature conditions. The bed includes a controller for commanding actuator or other devices to adjust these conditions. The controller may do so based on reference patterns for conditions and profiles of desired conditions. Information regarding the conditions may be provided to a remote computer, which may analyze the conditions and provide revised profiles of desired conditions.
