A molded mattress having a one piece seamless cover with a ventilation plug mounted in a tamper resistant recess formed surrounding a ventilation hole. The one piece seamless cover may have a plurality of airways formed in the cover to allow air circulation between the user and the mattress cover. The one piece seamless cover is integrally rotomolded to form a rugged comfortable mattress for intensive use environments. An RFID communication chip may be inserted in the cover for information management. The cover may be formed from solid color, translucent or transparent material.

Hybrid coil and air chamber assemblies for cushioning supports generally include pressurized air chambers that are positioned intermediate strings of pocketed coils. In this manner, the coils and air chambers can move independently but can be made to cooperate to provide firmness control, contouring and/or support of a user thereof. Air pressure within the air chambers can be independently adjusted to manipulate firmness and/or contour properties in specific zones defined by the presence and location of the air chambers, e.g., pressure of the air chambers corresponding to the lumbar region can be adjusted to eliminate high pressure points. Still further, the pressure within the air chambers can be automatically adjusted to different applied loads as a function of movement. Also disclose are processes for adjusting a mattress including the hybrid coil and air assemblies.

A mattress made of natural latex foam has at least four layers. Each of the layers having a density that is different than the density of the adjacent layers. The mattress may also have on the first layer a plurality of magnets and infrared elements. The mattress may also have massage elements and/or a low frequency energy element between the second and third layers.

Device (10, 110, 210) including at least one flexible pouch (12, 21, 22) delimiting an interior volume, one air inlet opening (13) per flexible pouch to allow air to pass into an interior volume of the pouch, a closure for closing the air inlet in an airtight manner, the closure including two flexible strips (14, 16) located at the periphery of the air inlet opening, the strips being connected at their ends and adapted to be pressed against one another. A rigid movable part (24, 25, 26) is pivotally connected to one of the ends of the strips so that the movable part can be positioned around the strips in a closed position in which the two strips are kept clamped together so as to prevent air from escaping the device.

The present disclosure is related to a bed assembly. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to a bed assembly that is compatible with a traditional consumer bed and can enhance the traditional consumer bed so it provides features of a traditional hospital bed. The bed assembly of the present disclosure may include pneumatic components to move portions of the bed assembly.

A comfort layer for a bedding or seating product has liquid pods sandwiched between plies of fabric. The plies of fabric are joined with seams thereby creating pockets, at least one liquid pod being inside each pocket. Each seam joining opposed plies of fabric around each of the liquid pods of the comfort layer may be segmented or solid, depending upon the fabric and type of seam.

Resilient cores preferably for inflatable bodies having resilient slabs that define a plurality of generally columnar holes or resilient arrays of generally columnar solids, methods for making such slabs and arrays, and articles incorporating the same wherein the cores further includes thermal transmission mitigation means for improving a core's resistance to heat transfer beyond the core's innate insulative properties. Non-exclusive and non-exhaustive examples of such thermal transmission mitigation means in slab core embodiments include consideration to hole or bore geometric cross section, frequency, pattern and orientation, the introduction of a thermal barrier at or within at least some holes or bores, and/or slab material selection/treatment. Non-exclusive and non-exhaustive examples of such thermal transmission mitigation means in array core embodiments include consideration to the geometric cross section, frequency (density), pattern and orientation of the solids, the introduction of thermal barriers within inter-solid spaces and/or solid material selection/treatment.

This disclosure describes, among other things, techniques for waking a user by changing the user's sleep environment. In one example, a method includes receiving, at a central controller of an air mattress system, at least one user alarm setting, generating, via the central controller, at least one instruction based on the received user alarm setting, and transmitting, from the central controller, the at least one instruction to a first component of the air mattress system to adjust a feature of the first component.

A method of assembling a floatation device and a floatation device is disclosed. The method can include providing a casing having an upper fabric layer and a lower porous layer. A plurality of dividers can be connected at a first end to the upper fabric layer and at a second end to the lower porous layer. Edges of the upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer can be connected by a zipper. The upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer can define a chamber therebetween, and the plurality of dividers dividing the chamber into a plurality of sleeves. A plurality of foam floatation members can be installed in a respective sleeve of the plurality of sleeves, and the zipper can be closed to form a floatatable platform.

An article of manufacture includes an inflatable body comprising a first core member cut from a single slab of core material and a second core member cut from the single slab of core material and coupled to the first core member.
