Adjustable bedding cover height and lengthwise positioning apparatus
An adjustable bedding (18) cover height and lengthwise positioning apparatus (30). A base (32) is configured for positioning between a bed frame (12) and an adjacent mattress (14). At least one riser (36, 38) allows adjustment of the height and lengthwise positioning of bedding with respect to the mattress. A connecting section (34), connected between the base and the risers optionally allows rotation of the risers with respect to the base. A clip (46) is connected to the at least one riser and secures the bedding to the apparatus. A fan (70) adjacent the clip includes an inflow channel (72) for active passage of airflow therethrough. An optional top support (40) provides a support width for the bedding which is preferably at least as broad as the width between a user's feet when the user is sleeping on his or her back.
Bed
A bed includes a mattress set on which a user's body is placed, an adjustable bedframe to adjust a position or orientation of the mattress set for various sitting and sleeping positions, and a dryer to dry the mattress set. The dryer includes a fan, a filter, and a heater to discharge filtered hot air toward the dryer to reduce mildew and mites. A humidity sensing sheet may be provided to sense a humidity level at different regions or areas of the bed, and the dryer may be controlled to supply hot air to regions of the bed having a higher humidity level than a predetermined humidity level or humidity range.
SHAPED BODY WITH A HEATING ELEMENT MADE TO HEAT POLYURETHANE FOAM
A shaped body including at least one section of a polyurethane foam. The shaped body includes a temperature-regulating device arranged in thermal contact with the at least one section of the polyurethane foam and a control device for the temperature-regulating device adapted to adjust the firmness of the at least one section of the polyurethane foam by alteration of temperature of the at least one section of the polyurethane foam this device being in “S” shape. The shaped body is used as a bed or mattress for promoting sleep in one application.
Thermoelectric string, panel, and covers for function and durability
A thermoelectric device comprising an elongated panel of two foam layers, and having an inserted thermoelectric string is incorporated into a seat cushion, planting pot, and battery thermal manager. Several enhancements to the string and the panel improve its durability, visual appeal, and tactile appeal over the prior art.
PERFORMANCE BED SHEETS
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.

CONVECTIVE SYSTEM WITH FIXATION ELEMENT
At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a tubular convective system including an inflatable tubular convective device and a fixation element. The inflatable tubular convective device includes a tubular structure. In some cases, the fixation element includes a first ring, where the first ring is configured to secure a first part of the tubular convective device. In some cases, the fixation element includes a flat element and a flexible element attached to the flat element proximate to a first end of the flexible element, where the flexible element is configured to secure a first part of the tubular convective device.
TUBULAR CONVECTIVE DEVICE
At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a tubular convective device, comprising: a blown film forming a tube when inflated, the blown film having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion and the second portion are separated longitudinally, and a plurality of apertures disposed on the first portion of the blown film. At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature a tubular convective system including a plurality of tubular convective devices, where adjacent tubular convective devices are connected.
Mattress Thermal Management System
The disclosure generally relates to a mattress thermal management system, for example a mattress cooling and/or heating system and in particular incorporating an airflow spacer and/or a suction- and/or discharge-based cooling and/or heating system. Deck-mounted fans beneath a mattress operate in various embodiments to induce a uniform suction flow, a uniform discharge flow, and/or a combined suction/discharge (circulating) flow that enhances the cooling and/or heating rate of the mattress. The mattress thermal management system can be incorporated into a conventional mattress/bed system or into an adjustable bed system. Further, the mattress thermal management system including an airflow spacer can be incorporated into a cover for a conventional mattress foundation or adjustable bed foundation. In another aspect, the disclosure relates to a remote control that controls an adjustable bed and is configured with a children's safety lock feature.
System and method for thermoelectric personal comfort controlled bedding
A distribution system is adapted for use with a mattress and a personal comfort system with an air conditioning system operable for outputting a conditioned air flow. The distribution system includes at least top and bottom layers of fabric material and a spacer structure disposed between the bottom and top layers. The spacer structure defines an internal volume within the distribution layer and is configured to enable the received conditioned air flow to flow therethrough. This flow of conditioned air has a cooling or heating effect on a body on the mattress.
