Described herein are systems and apparatuses for enhanced comfort through contact pressure reduction. In particular, the systems and apparatuses disclosed herein prevent or otherwise mitigate pressure by actively orienting a patient over an anatomy-specific pressure-mitigating contact surface on which the patient rests. A pressure-mitigating contact portion of the contact surface includes a plurality of independently pressurized chambers configured in a specific geometric pattern that is designed to mitigate contact pressure between a support surface (e.g., bed or chair) and a specific anatomic region of a patient's body when the specific anatomic region of the patient's body is oriented over an epicenter of the geometric pattern. Additionally, a plurality of elevated side support portions and a wedge interconnected on the base material are configured to actively orient the specific anatomic region of the patient's body over the epicenter of the geometric pattern.

An adjustable mattress is described herein. The adjustable mattress is comprised of one or more adjustable elements. The adjustable elements may, in some examples, be filled with air or other fluid in order to adjust the height and firmness of the adjustable mattress. The adjustable mattress may provide a user with assistance in rolling over or repositioning while using the adjustable mattress.

A bed linen comprises a single, continuous piece of fabric extending substantially completely across lateral dimensions of the bed linen and including elastomeric fibers and non-elastomeric fibers. The single, continuous piece of fabric is configured to stretch to at least 125 percent of an initial length thereof without damage thereto and to substantially return to the initial length thereof after being stretched. A bedding assembly and a method of forming a bedding assembly are also described.

A frameless furniture assembly adapted to be converted between an unfilled configuration and a filled configuration including: an outer liner having an inner surface and an outer surface; a plurality of pieces of fill material, wherein the fill material is retained within the outer liner; and at least one configuration support member associated with the inner surface of the outer liner. The frameless furniture assembly is preferably adapted to support a human in a seated position.

A sack for storing a sleeping bag when the sleeping bag is not in use, and for attaching the sleeping bag to a pad, such as an air mattress, when the bag is in use. Provided herein is a combination having a sack comprising a body having a first part of a mating fastener thereon, a sleeping bag having a second part of the mating fastener thereon, the sleeping bag having a volume that fits within the sack, and a mattress having a width that fits within the sack.

A sleeping pad with a fast-inflation and deflation air nozzle includes a sleeping pad body with an air nozzle. The air nozzle includes a base, an air channel and a sealing cover. The sealing cover is detachably and sealedly inserted into the air channel. The air channel is detachably and sealedly inserted into the base. A deflating gasket is arranged at a top of a support in the air channel. A bottom of the support is provided with an inflating gasket. A switch between an inflation mode and a deflation mode is realized through switching positions of a first baffle plate and a second baffle plate of a switch baffle plate.

A self-checking system for an air bag includes a client, a detection module, an air bag control unit and an air bag device. The air bag control unit is connected with the air bag device; the air bag device includes an air bag and an air path; and the detection module is configured for detecting the air bag device and the air bag control unit according to preset steps.

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.

An inflatable air mattress system comprises an inflatable air mattress defining an air chamber and including an inlet passageway, an inflation valve mounted to the inflatable air mattress, and a connector. The valve defines a passageway that includes a lip and a valve member. The valve member includes a seal movable between a closed position wherein the valve member is at least partially covering the lip. In an open position, inflation air can pass through the passageway and into the air chamber of the mattress. The inflatable air mattress system includes an inflating bladder including an interior portion defined by at least one wall of flexible fabric having a first end and a second end. The first end includes a wide opening securable by a closing spring, the second end includes an outlet adapted to connect to the connector.

A proning headrest includes a horizontal board; cylindrical support posts distributed on the board; two removably juxtaposed support pads resting on the support posts; and a face pad positioned parallel to and between low-profile pillows. Recessed portions on the perimeter of the support pads form a face cutout between. Next to the recessed portion of each support pad, one surface has a low-profile pillow attached. The face pad has a convoluted air bladder and a hole aligned with the face cutout. The proning headrest keeps the patient's spine in a neutral position, keeps the endotracheal tube/tracheostomy aligned, and keeps the ventilatory circuit intact while staff rotate the patient into a prone position.
