An air mattress assembly includes an air mattress and a cover system. The cover system is made of a fabric material. The air mattress, if fully inflated without the cover system in place, would be too large for the cover to fit over the fully inflated air mattress. With the cover system in place around the air mattress, the cover system will be under tension when the air mattress is inflated to operational pressures. In some embodiments the cover is bonded to the air mattress.

An inflatable bed is provided. The inflatable bed comprises a top sheet and a bottom sheet disposed vertically at an interval, at least one side wall, at least one first tensioning structure and at least one support structure. An upper edge of said side wall is coupled to an outer edge of said top sheet. A lower edge of said side wall is coupled to an outer edge of said bottom sheet. An upper end and a lower end of said first tensioning structure are respectively coupled to said top sheet and said bottom sheet. Said support structure is disposed in a longitudinal direction of at least one of said side walls. At least two outside edges of said support structure are respectively coupled to the side wall adjacent. At least one inside edge of said support structure is coupled to the top sheet or bottom sheet adjacent.

A recirculating warm air system configured to connect to an air inflatable product is provided. The system includes a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber includes a first air inlet and a first valve located at the first air inlet. The second chamber includes a second valve located between the first chamber and the second chamber, an air outlet, and a first hose connected to the air outlet. The second chamber further includes an air blower and a heater located between the air blower and the air outlet. The second chamber includes a second air inlet, a third valve located at the second air inlet, and a second hose connected to the second air inlet. The first hose and the second hose are configured to connect to the air inflatable product. The system further includes a processing unit configured to control elements of the system.

A welding process of an inflatable product is provided that includes using isolating members between first and second portions of weldable tensioning members to resist the first and second portions of the weldable tensioning structures being welded together during welding of the first portions to a first sheet of weldable material and welding of the second portions to a second sheet of weldable material.

A cushion is disclosed herein, including an elongate inflatable bag and a jacket that has a plurality of sleeves, wherein the bag is inflated and is releasably engaged with the jacket such that the bag extends through and turns between the sleeves.

An inflatable cushion comprises an inflatable cushion body. The inflatable cushion body comprises a first region and a second region formed by pressing an upper and a lower fabric layers; the first region and the second region are adjacent; a cavity is arranged in the first region; a sponge is arranged in the cavity; the inflatable cushion body is provided with an air guide part for inflating and deflating the cavity; the second region is evenly provided with transverse sealing lines; the transverse sealing lines separate the second region into mutually communicated inflating cavities; and the second region is provided with a first inflating port for inflation and deflation. By arranging the first region and the second region, the sponge is arranged in the first region and the inflating cavities are arranged in the second region.

In an aspect, an inflatable object includes an object body enclosing a chamber to receive air, and a valve mounted to the inflatable object body, including a valve body defining a passageway between the chamber and an ambient environment. The valve body has a shoulder. The valve body defines an outside end, which opens to the ambient environment, and an inside end, which opens into the chamber. The valve includes a one-way flap that is movable between an open position to permit fluid communication between the chamber and the ambient environment through the passageway, and a closed position. The one-way flap is biased to the closed position with a closing force selected to be overcomable to move the one-way flap to the open position by an airflow having a speed that is less than about 48 m/s, and which is at a pressure lower than 1 atmosphere.

An inflatable bed is provided including an upper sheet, a lower sheet, a lateral confining sheet and a first internal sheet. The lateral confining sheet connects the upper sheet and the lower sheet to define an inflatable chamber. The upper sheet has a planar portion and an oblique portion. The planar portion of the upper sheet is connected to the lower sheet by means of the first internal sheet. The lateral confining sheet comprises a circumferential portion and an extension portion extending upward along an end of the circumferential portion. The extension portion and the oblique portion of the upper sheet are connected to form a backrest of the inflatable bed, and the backrest is internally provided with a second internal sheet which is used for connecting the oblique portion of the upper sheet to the extension portion of the lateral confining sheet. The inflatable bed may further include a third internal sheet, a fourth internal sheet and a fifth internal sheet which are regionally arranged in an inner part to form an integrated backrest.

An article of manufacture includes a first discrete inflatable body having a first core member cut from a single slab of core material and a first root portion, and further includes a second discrete inflatable body comprising a second core member cut from the single slab of core material and a second root portion. Each of the first and second core members includes a plurality of ribs, and the ribs extend laterally from the first and second root portions.
