TEMPERATURE REGULATING FOAM PADDING WITH PASSIVE COOLING AND ACTIVE HEATING
A temperature regulating foam padding including a plurality of zones, at least one passive cooling device, disposed in at least a first zone of the plurality of zones, at least one heating device, disposed in at least the first zone, at least one temperature sensor and/or heart rate sensor, disposed in the first zone, and a controller, connected to the heating device and the sensor(s) for controlling the heating device.
Support apparatus, system and method
A therapeutic support device includes a bladder having one or more independently inflatable compartments, each including a plurality of inflatable cells. When inflated, each inflatable cell forms a contact node that may support a user or another object disposed thereon. The inflatable compartments can be alternately inflated and deflated such that contact pressure can be applied to and relieved from corresponding portions of the user's body in an alternating manner.
BEDDING CLIMATE CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD TO OPERATE THEREOF
A bedding climate control apparatus that delivers, in a quiet manner, forced airflow from a fan/blower within a housing to selectively deliver tempered (heated via a thermal element) and untempered (room temperature) air through a flexible hose to bedding. The quiet manner is attained with acoustic dampening material in the path of incoming airflow to the fan/blower and by oversizing each of the components that create a pressure drop including the capacity of the fan/blower over what is needed to deliver a required amount of airflow. Temperature may be set remotely via a wireless remote control and via a protocol access enabled device.
MULTlLAYER CUSHIONING ASSEMBLIES FOR THERMAL MANAGEMENT
Described herein are textile- and/or foam-based multilayer cushioning assemblies that include a thermally-conductive layer, which imparts beneficial thermal management properties without a significant adverse effect on flexibility and/or cushioning properties, so the textile- and/or foam-based multilayer compositions remain suitable for use in bedding, furniture, clothing, and other applications where they will contact a user and where user comfort is important.
Dual firmness spring mattress
A flippable mattress includes a first memory foam layer, a second memory foam layer, a core layer disposed therebetween and a transition layer between each foam layer and the core. The first memory foam layer has a thickness, and the second memory foam layer has a thickness that is greater than the thickness of the first memory foam layer. The first transition layer has an IFD less than that of the second transition layer. The mattress is flippable between a first orientation in which the first memory foam layer is above the core layer and the second memory foam layer, and a second orientation in which the second memory foam layer is above the core layer and the first memory foam layer.
Sleep enclosure assembly
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.

HEATING INFLATABLE PRODUCT
Provided is a heating inflatable product relating to the technical field of household products. The heating inflatable product includes an upper sheet, a lower sheet, a heating component and a power component, the heating component is arranged in an interlayer formed between the upper sheet and the lower sheet, and the upper sheet, the heating component and the lower sheet are arranged sequentially; and the power component is electrically connected with the heating component. The power component provides electric energy for the heating component to enable the heating component to heat, and the heating component is arranged adjacent to the upper sheet; therefore, the surface temperature of the upper sheet will increase gradually due to the existence of heat transfer, thereby improving the user experience.
ELECTROTHERMAL MATTRESS COVER
The present invention provides electrothermal mattress cover, electrothermal sleeping bag/mattress cover, and temperature control sleeping bag. The electrothermal mattress cover comprises a cloth cover and a heating sheet; the cloth cover at least covers or wraps the upper surface of the heating sheet; the cloth cover is provided with corner connecting pieces at its corners, for connecting the heating sheet; the heating sheet comprises a heating wire fixed within an interlayer between two adhesive tapes, and an outer cover wrapping the two adhesive tapes; the outgoing end of the heating wire goes through the tapes and the outer cover; the heating wire is bound to the outer cover by waterproof binding materials; and the outgoing end of the heating sheet is used for power connection.
Dual core personal comfort engine (PCE)
In accordance with one embodiment, there is provided a thermoelectric-based air conditioning system. The system includes at least a first supply air channel and a separate second supply air channel disposed in a housing. The system also includes a first thermoelectric cooler (TEC) assembly forming at least a portion of the first supply air channel and configured to independently condition air within the first supply air channel. The system further includes a second TEC assembly forming at least a portion of the second supply air channel and configured to independently condition air within the second supply air channel. The system includes a single heat exchanger configured to transfer heat with both the first TEC assembly and the second TEC assembly.
