A self-inflating stowable bed. The bed includes one or more self-inflating chambers, with each of the self-inflating chambers having one or more polyurethane foam sections therein, with the chamber defined between a first air impervious layer and a second air impervious layer. The self-inflating bed may be evacuated by a household or shop vacuum, and then sealed, rolled or folded, and easily stored or shipped. The polyurethane foam sections may be provided with different members having different indentation force deflection specifications suitable for bed portions and edge of bed portions.

A system can include a foundation structure and a sensor. The foundation structure can have a plurality of deck panels configured to support a mattress. The plurality of deck panels can include a head panel. The plurality of deck panels can have a head, a foot, a first side, and a second side, a first edge along the head, a second edge along the foot opposite of the first edge, a third edge along the first side, and a fourth edge along the second side opposite the third edge. The sensor can be configured to detect a sound indicative of a snore. The sensor can be positioned along the third edge or fourth edge of the head panel.

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.

A non-flip mattress with top side and bottom side and depending edges; wherein the bottom side is covered with a flame-resistant, highly needled, double-sided-calendered, needlepunch nonwoven fabric that passes 16 CFR 1633. The nonwoven fabric is a double-calendered, 80/20 polyester/flame-resistant rayon blend needled with a minimum of 190 punches per cm.sup.2 and with increased tensile strength.

A multilayered, adjustable mattress system with orbital springs comprised of a removeable, fire resistant cover for enclosing the top of the mattress, a zipper having a predetermined zipper track along the bottom of the mattress, wherein the zipper can unzip the removable cover in both directions, a top foam cover, and an open box, rectangular, mattress encasement divided into two head sections, two body sections, and two feet sections. The layers of the mattress include multiple foam layers of varying compressibility, and a rubber spring deck, where the orbital springs are arranged in a honeycomb pattern. Additionally, the layers of the mattress can be interchanged vertically and horizontally within the mattress sections.

Systems and apparatuses include a mattress assembly including a tub including vertically extending rails and a base that defines a base height that is two inches or less, the tub defining an interior cavity bound by the rails and the base, a plurality of non-laminated and rearrangeable foam layers positioned within the interior cavity to provide both support and comfort levels within the mattress assembly, and a cover system that includes a removable cover allowing selective access to the plurality of layers and the interior cavity and selectively compressing the plurality of layers within the tub.

The present invention relates to a regimen mattress. The regimen mattress includes a layer. The layer includes at least a cavity having an opening. At least a function foam block or a replaceable foam block is disposed in the cavity through the opening.

Embodiments of a mattress and methods of manufacturing the same, wherein the mattress includes a body having one or more openings for removable inserts that a user can position within the openings to adjust the mechanical characteristics of the mattress, including the amount and location of support provided by the mattress to the user. Some embodiments of the mattress include one or more covers, such as a fire-retardant cover, that can encompass the mattress body while still allowing a user to access the openings of mattress body.

A fire retardant cushioning device wherein the cushioning device comprises a main body formed of a fire retardant cover material which is assembled together from panels of fire retardant cover material with the panels being connected together by at least one welded seam extending about the edges of the panels of cover material to form a seamed fire retardant cover material comprising the main body of the cover and the seam(s); and wherein the construction of the cushioning device provides a fire retardant cushioning device having welded seam(s) whereby the welded seam(s) are configured such that they are flame retardant. A fire retardant, infection control cushioning device is also disclosed. The invention also provides a method of manufacturing the fire retardant cushioning device.

A bed can include a mattress and a foot warming system. The mattress can include a mattress cover and a support structure that is positioned under and covered by the mattress cover. The foot warming system can include a heating unit an envelope, a power source, and an electrical connector electrically connecting the heating unit to the power source. The heating unit can be positioned inside the envelope between the envelope top and the envelope bottom. The heating unit and the envelope can be positioned at a foot of the bed under mattress cover between the support structure and the mattress cover.
