A furnishing unit includes at least one surface configured support weight of a user of the furnishing unit, an identifier conveyance unit configured to convey furnishing unit identifier data of the furnishing unit; and a furnishing processing system. The furnishing processing system is operable to receive experience selection data generated by a client device associated with the user based on user input by the user to an interactive user interface, where the client device generates the experience selection data based on determining the furnishing unit identifier data for the furnishing unit via an identifier input element when in proximity to the furnishing unit. The furnishing processing system is further operable to configure output of at least one experience facilitation element of a set of experience facilitation elements associated with the furnishing unit based on the experience selection data.

Articulating bedding systems include an adjustable foundation configured to provide an end user with clean air and maximize breathing airways.

Interactive articulating bedding systems for caring comfort of an individual in need thereof and processes generally include and a mattress and an adjustable foundation supporting the mattress. The interactive articulating bedding system and process generally include sleep diagnostics including a plurality of sensors at different locations within the interactive articulating bedding system configured to measure at least one health condition comprising heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, and/or oxygen level and provide output signals indicative of the at least one health condition. The at least one health condition can be provided to a third party so that they may remotely monitor wellness of the individual.

An adjustable chair comprising a seat part, a seat back disposed along one side of the seat part, the seat back being configured for supporting at least a person's back or shoulders, a chair base configured for being placed on a floor, at least one adjustable chair feature including a motor capable of being selectively controlled and driven so as to adjust at least one of: the rotation or tilt of the seat part, a vertical distance between the seat back and the one side of the seat part, an angle position between the seat back and the seat part, and a distance between the chair base and the seat part.

A bed includes a mattress; a heating member coupled to the mattress and configured to operably generate heat for the mattress; a temperature detector disposed on the mattress for detecting temperature of the mattress; and a controller coupled with the heating member and the temperature detector and configured to receive and process signals of the temperature detected from the temperature detector and control operations of the heating member based on the temperature signals.

A distal-proximal temperature-gradient of a sleeper is determined. A bed has a mattress. Temperature sensors are in an array. Each sensor is configured to: sense surface temperature of the sleeper of the bed, transmit, to a controller, temperature readings. The system also includes a controller may include a processor and memory, the controller configured to: receive, from each of the sensors, temperature readings at a particular time, access, for each temperature reading, a corresponding weight-value, determine the distal-proximal temperature-gradient for the sleeper at the particular time using the temperature readings and the corresponding weight-values.

Interactive bedding systems for a child and processes of use include a mattress and a foundation supporting the mattress. The interactive bedding system can be dynamically adjusted to the child's individuality and age. The bedding system includes a control unit configured to automatically adjust articulating sections in the foundation, the one or more color-changeable lighting units, the one or more sound speakers, and the vibrating units upon detection of a sleep condition, and automatically detect a presence or an absence of the child on the articulating bedding system at a predetermined range of time and notifying a third party in the absence of the child during the predetermined range of time.

A three dimensional mattress system with environment control is provided which may be configured to provide three dimensional body support to a user. In some embodiments, the system may include a rigid frame that may form a frame cavity. Optionally, the system may include one or more temperature regulators. A plurality of pillows may be positioned within the frame cavity, and a user may be supported by the plurality of pillows. Optionally, one or more air moving devices may be configured to move air external to the frame through the plurality of pillows, and one or more air filters may be configured to filter air moved by the air moving devices.

A seating management system having a plurality of chairs, each chair having a code scanner, an object detection sensor, a motor, and a communication device in operative communication with a central management server. The central management server is configured to pre-assign a reservation code for each of the chairs, assign each of the invited guests to a chair, cause an invitation to be sent to each of said invited guests, and analyze the invited guest responses. The server is then configured to activate the plurality of chairs, send the corresponding reservation code to each guest whose response accepted the invitation, and cause the motor of the respective activated chair to move said chair when the central management server receives a reservation code corresponding to said chair.

A vehicle seating assembly includes a seat base that has a first heating element. A seat back has a second heating element. A sensor is coupled to the seat base and is configured to obtain a weight data. A user-interface assembly is operably coupled to the first and second heating elements. A controller is in communication with the sensor to receive the weight data. The controller is configured to control the first and second heating elements in response to the weight data.
