Shock and vibration mitigation baseplates and related manufacturing methods. A shock and vibration mitigation baseplate includes a mounting frame configured for placement between a console operator chair and a rigid floor surface, and one or more viscoelastic polymer shock absorption and vibration dampening pads. The mounting frame houses the one or more viscoelastic polymer shock absorption and vibration dampening pads therein.

The invention relates to a resting element with connection to the earth connection of the dwelling, of the type comprising a mattress topper, a bed base, and a latex mattress; where the topper has a means for connecting to the mattress and this, in turn, to the bed base, which finally connects to the earth connection of the dwelling via a universal connection system that incorporates a safety system to avoid overloading the line; and wherein the sheath incorporates a mesh of gold, silver, and organic graphite and silver filament which, together with the connection with the rest of the elements, improves its residual discharge and insulating capacity.

Described are bed systems with headboards having a main headboard portion, a left wing attached to a first lateral edge and a right wing attached to a second lateral edge of the main headboard portion, and sound insulation material and insulation supports in each of the main headboard portion and the left and right wings. The insulation supports can be spaced apart to form cavities that can be filled in by the sound insulation material. The sound insulation material can be wool batten insulation. The bed system can also include speakers integrated into the left and right wings that allow a user to play audio, such as white and/or pink noise, to cancel surrounding noise. The bed system can also include microphones and a controller that can drive the speakers to cancel noise detected by the microphones.

Systems and methods are provided for grounding a person lying on a mattress. Such grounding may connect a user's body to the earth and enable electrical discharge off the human body. The systems and methods may include a mattress pad having conductive inner and outer layers. The mattress pad may also include an insulating interior layer having a flame-retardant layer, a first foam layer, and a second foam layer. The mattress pad may also include a conductive edge ribbon configured to electrically couple the inner and outer layers, as well as a grounding terminal. A grounding cable may be realized to ground the inner layer, outer layer, and conductive edge ribbon. The grounded mattress then grounds the human body, allowing it to get closer to a natural electrical potential. This can reduce static electricity, static shocks and enhance quality sleep. The mattress will also improve shielding from electromagnetic fields (EMFs).

A method of making foam imparts antimicrobial and antiodorant qualities to the foam. Green tea powder is added to the polyol raw materials for making memory foam. The green tea memory foam is used to make pillows, cushions and mattresses. Green tea foam in the top layer of a mattress acts as an antiodorant such that less of the chemical smell of the memory foam is perceived by the user. In addition, the bacteria and mold that would otherwise develop in the moist warmer sleeping environment on memory foam are killed by the green tea additive to the foam. Measurable antimicrobial and antiodorant qualities in the green tea foam are achievable by adding green tea powder constituting less than 2% of the weight of the resulting green tea foam. A neck-support contour pillow is made using memory foam that contains green tea and a green dye.

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.

A sleeping compartment with a sleeping region and an electrically conducting curtain, which can be arranged around the sleeping region, having a rail system by which the conducting curtain is mounted in a displaceable manner. The rail system includes at least one rail and a multiplicity of connecting elements, the connecting elements being connected to the conducting curtain and being mounted in the at least one rail in a displaceable manner. The rail system is configured such that the conducting curtain is connected to the at least one rail in an electrically conducting manner, preferably such that the conducting curtain is earthed by way of the rail.

This invention is a device which creates adjustable acoustic and/or thermal zones in a bed to address sleep issues such as bed partner snoring and hot flashes. Adjustable acoustic bed zones can be created with a flexible movable partition which longitudinally spans a bed from an arch at the head of the bed to an arch at the foot of the bed. Adjustable thermal bed zones can be created with inflow and outflow flexible longitudinal air tubes which are inserted into a space between layers of bedding.

A resilient unit comprises a number of wire coil springs 12, each of which is located within its own discrete pocket 14 formed by first, upper and second, lower layers 14a and 14b of material, preferably of non-woven material. The two layers 14a and 14b have been thermally, or ultrasonically, welded together at points 16 between the adjacent springs to create the pockets. The upper layer of material 14a differs from the lower layer of material 14b in respect of at least one characteristic.
