11559143 · 2023-01-24 · ·

A method of manufacturing a mattress that comprises forming a mattress inner core; forming a non-quilted mattress cover; and attaching the non-quilted mattress cover to the inner core without sewing. The non-quilted mattress cover may be formed of a laminate including a polymeric non-woven fabric that may be embossed and cut to include a cover top panel and a plurality of cover side panels that are unitary with and extend outward from the cover top panel. The step of attaching the non-quilted mattress cover to the inner core without sewing includes orthogonally orienting the cover side panels relative to the cover top panel and fusing portions of adjoining surfaces of adjacent cover side panels to each other to form a coffin, inserting the mattress inner core into the coffin, folding non-fused portions of the adjoining surface of the adjacent cover side panels over the mattress inner core, and bonding a bottom panel to the non-fused portions of the cover side panels and the mattress inner core.

Bedding climate control apparatus and method to operate thereof with a programmable application from a wireless network
11700951 · 2023-07-18 · ·

An apparatus and method to selectively create a heat transfer effect and sensation of cooling within bedding on a mattress. A programmable application is accessible on a wireless network and is programmed to provide appropriate settings to attain changes over time of a space within bedding that pertain to at least one of heating the space and realizing a cooling sensation within the space. A wireless receiver is configured to receive commands in a wireless manner that are indicative of the appropriate settings provided by the programmable application to effect changes over time of the space within the bedding attributed to heat transfer with respect to the at least one of heating the space and realizing a cooling sensation within the space. The heat transfer occurs as a result of fluid flow either within a mattress or within space in bedding over the mattress.

Air system for a bed

An air system for a bed can include a layer assembly having a head end, a foot end, and first and second sides, with a head portion near the head end, a foot portion near the foot end, and a middle portion between the head portion and the foot portion, the layer assembly. The layer assembly can have a spacer layer comprising spacer material configured to allow for air flow through the spacer material and a cover comprising a cover top layer and a cover bottom layer. The air system can have a distribution manifold that is substantially fan-shaped with a plurality of ribs defining channels and/or is positioned above the cover bottom layer and under the spacer layer. The air system can have first and second flaps with first and second retention features extending from the head and foot ends of the air layer.

TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED MATTRESS CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD BASED ON SLEEP POSTURE DETECTION

Temperature-controlled mattress control system and method based on sleep posture detection are provided. The control system includes an information collecting unit, an information processor and an output instruction unit. The information collecting unit is used to collect a temperature parameter of a human body during sleeping, video information, and a temperature parameter of a temperature-controlled mattress. The information processing unit receives information collected by the information collecting unit, calculates a sleep posture value K, a thermal sensation value P and a facial skin thermal value Q to obtain a final estimated thermal sensation, and determines setting temperature variation of the temperature-controlled mattress based on the temperature parameter of the temperature-controlled mattress. The output instruction unit receives the setting temperature variation and the temperature parameter of the temperature-controlled mattress, and issues an instruction to a water chiller-heater unit to enable the water chiller-heater unit to carry out fluid temperature regulation.
