Temperature-regulating Mattress

A temperature-regulating mattress system provides dynamic adjustment of temperature and other parameters throughout a user's sleep cycle to maximize the quality of the user's sleep, Features of the system may include: (a) heating and cooling temperature regulation (with dynamic custom profiles that control humidity and are dual-zone); (b) smart controls (with remotes and apps that learn from users to optimize settings and work with smart home products such as Alexa and interactive lighting systems); (c) comfort (with a mattress that provide the necessary support for its users); and (d) sensors used for temperature and humidity estimation algorithms, control mechanism, and additional inferences from those sensors (pose, enrichment of biometric sensing data, etc.).

4 Independent Claims

1. A mattress system comprising: a comfort layer and a base layer; wherein the comfort layer comprises: a mattress cover top panel over a top panel foam insert that are joined at a stitch seam, a mattress cover selectively joinable with the base layer, at least one embedded surface sensor below the top panel foam insert, a plurality of horizontal foam comfort layers, and a plurality of vertical air-impermeable surfaces cut through the horizontal foam comfort layers; wherein the base layer comprises: a base top panel, a biometric sensor below the base top panel, a plurality of expandable segments below the biometric sensor, and a torso airbox and a feet airbox integrated within the expandable segments; wherein the torso airbox includes a first fan, a first heater and is under a first air duct; wherein the feet airbox includes a second fan, a second heater and is under a second air duct; wherein the torso airbox drives air through the first air duct and through at least one of the plurality of vertical air-impermeable surfaces; and wherein the feet airbox drives air through the second air duct and through at least one of the plurality of vertical air-impermeable surfaces.
11. A mattress system comprising: a comfort layer and an intake layer, wherein the comfort layer is situated above the intake layer and is attached to the intake layer; an air permeable top cover surrounding a top and sides of the comfort layer; an air permeable bottom cover comprising spacer fabric surrounding a bottom and sides of the intake layer; wherein the comfort layer comprises: a plurality of horizontal foam comfort layers; a plurality of vertical air-impermeable surfaces cut through the horizontal foam comfort layers; wherein the spacer fabric creates air channels on the bottom and sides of the intake layer so that air moves freely through the air permeable bottom cover in both perpendicular and parallel directions.
14. A mattress base comprising: a plurality of linked expandable segments; a plurality of rigid panels, wherein each of the plurality of rigid panels is installed partially over one of the plurality of linked expandable segments a biometric sensor inlaid within a first of the plurality of rigid panels, wherein the biometric sensor measures sleeping profiles for a user of a mattress installed over the mattress base; a first airbox system installed within a second of the plurality of rigid panels, wherein the first airbox system comprises at least one ramp to facilitate airflow exiting the airbox system; a second airbox system installed within a third of the plurality of rigid panels, wherein the second airbox system comprises at least one ramp to facilitate airflow exiting the airbox system; wherein each of the plurality of linked expandable segments is flexible with respect to at least one of the adjacent expandable segments.
18. A remote for a mattress system, comprising: a full surface circular tactile button, a gesture sensing module, a rotating member, a haptic motor, a light indicator; a gradient light indicator, a reset button, a base, a capacitive touch sensor, a wireless communicator; wherein the remote provides control instruction to the mattress system based on activation and deactivation of the full surface circular tactile button, the gesture sensing module, the rotating member, and the haptic motor.
