Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a piece of furniture, particularly an adjustable bed, having a speaker system. The bed includes a base having an outer peripheral edge. At least one speaker is mounted to the base of the piece of furniture, typically to the legs. The at least one speaker is mounted to face outwards from a center portion of the bed. The at least one speaker is mounted inboard of the outer peripheral edge of the base of the bed so as to conceal the speakers from a top view. The speaker system may also be used with various other pieces of furniture such as couches, chairs, tables, etc. A subwoofer may also be mounted to the base of the bed.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a mattress thermal management system, for example a mattress cooling and/or heating system and in particular a suction- and/or discharge-based cooling and/or heating system. Deck-mounted fans beneath a mattress operate in various embodiments to induce a uniform suction flow, a uniform discharge flow, and/or a combined suction/discharge (circulating) flow that enhances the cooling and/or heating rate of the mattress. The mattress thermal management system can be incorporated into a conventional mattress/bed system or into an adjustable bed system.

Abstract: A disclosed shoe component includes: (a) a toe section, a heel section, a midfoot section therebetween, an exterior side and an opposed interior side, both extending from the heel section through the midfoot section and to the toe section; (b) a closed cell foam heel cup in the heel section; (c) a heel pad in the heel section at least partially surrounded by the heel cup; (d) a plurality of open cell foam members of varying firmness positioned in a movement pattern corresponding to a user's pressure movement Pattern and extending through the midfoot section and into the toe section; and (e) an optional toe closed cell foam member as a filler in the toe section. The open cell foam members can be positioned on either side of the center path corresponding to a movement configuration of a user to provide varying support on either side of the center path.
