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.

A bed assembly includes a mattress that has rails that define an outer perimeter of the mattress and an inner core defined between the rails of the mattress. Springs are positioned within the inner core. A comfort layer including ventilation openings is supported by the rails of the mattress so that the comfort layer covers the mattress and the ventilation openings are in fluid communication with the inner core. In some instances, the comfort layer is positioned so that the ventilation openings are aligned with coil openings defined through the springs within the mattress.

An external ventilation system of a capsule pod sleeping chamber that includes a wall with an exterior side that faces a communal space and an interior side that faces an interior of the capsule pod sleeping chamber. The external ventilation system further includes a duct to route first air out from the communal space to an area separated from air of the capsule pod sleeping chamber, where the duct is located between the exterior side and the interior side, and there is an aperture located on the exterior side opening into the duct.

A bed system includes microclimate control capabilities for providing quality sleep experience. The bed system can include a microclimate control subsystem configured to supply conditioned air (e.g., heated or cooled air) to a mattress, or draw ambient air from the mattress, to achieve a desired temperature at the top of the mattress. Utilizing supply of conditioned air to provide air at desired temperature to the mattress system, or utilizing air suction to drain heat away from the mattress system, can provide precise microclimate control at the mattress, thereby permitting conformable sleep.

Introduced are methods and systems for an adjustable bed device configured to: gather biological signals associated with multiple users, such as heart rate, respiration rate, or temperature; analyze the gathered human biological signals; and heat or cool a bed based on the analysis.

A framework spanning the lower end of a mattress and positioned to use overlying bedding materials for creation of an enclosed open space on the upper surface of the mattress for the free movement of feet and lower limbs of humans. The controlled environment within this space provides ample surface area to allow healthful movement of air currents, heat and humidity and thus enable unrestrained natural radiation of body heat through the feet of sleeper(s) encouraging the beneficial outcomes of nocturnal circadian rhythms. With comfort and convenience as high priorities, this bedding accessory is designed for long-term use in therapeutic and household settings.

A multi-functional enclosed sleep environment for providing an improved sleep experience. A sleep enclosure assembly may be configured to partially or fully enclose a user's sleep area or bed. The sleep enclosure assembly may be stored within a housing located proximate to a user's bed or sleep area, and may be fully or partially deployable such that the user's bed or sleep area is fully enclosed within a canopy of the sleep enclosure assembly. The sleep enclosure assembly may include one or more environmental control modules designed to control or regulate one or more aspects of the sleep area according to a user's preferences, including the sound, light, temperature, air quality, ventilation, and/or humidity of the sleeping environment. The sleep enclosure assembly may further be controlled by software running on a computing device allowing a user to customize one or more aspects of the sleep environment.
