Abstract: An apparatus and method to selectively create a heat transfer effect and sensation of cooling with fluid flow that is directed within bedding on a mattress or within the mattress or within a region between the bedding and the mattress. A programmable application is accessible on a wireless network and is programmed to provide appropriate settings to attain changes over time of the region. In response to receipt of signals indicative of fluid flow rate, temperature and duration settings, a heat transfer device carries out the heat transfer in accord with an initial one of the temperature settings for an initial one of the duration settings and then in accord with a subsequent one of the temperatures settings for a subsequent one of the duration settings. The subsequent one of the temperature settings constitutes a change in the temperature setting from the initial one of the temperature settings.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A mattress corner retainer bracket having a flex segment pivotally mounted to an adjustable bed frame and having two retention segments spaced apart that are each joined to the flex segment. Each of the three segments extend in different respective planes relative to each other. As a mattress flexes in unison with adjustable movement imparted by the adjustable bed frame, the mattress corners impart a force against the two retention segments, which retain the mattress in its relative position on the adjustable bed frame by preventing the mattress from sliding off. The two retention segments are joined to each other via a joining rod that extends within the flex plane.

Abstract: An articulating frame of an adjustable bedframe is restricted by a safety latch mechanism from pivoting beyond a limited range of motion from its undeployed position unless an actuator lifting assembly mechanism is driving the articulating frame to pivot. Locking tabs and guides mate with each other to restrain the actuator lifting assembly mechanism from moving beyond a limited range of motion unless the actuator lifting assembly mechanism is driving the articulating frame to pivot.

Abstract: A method of assembly and a product upon which a person may lie down that includes a mattress cover fitted onto a mattress cover to envelop same. The underside of the mattress cover has a projecting lip that bounds a recessed cavity that accommodates an adjustable mechanism, which is actuated to raise of lower head or foot portions of the mattress. The lip contains filler material such a foam and overlaps sides of the adjustable mechanism to conceal same.

Abstract: A product upon which a person may lie down that includes a mattress whose underside has a peripheral flange or perimeter wall, i.e., a lip, that bounds a recessed cavity. The lip has gaps to accommodate passage of a power cord from within the recessed cavity to without. The lip and the mattress may have separate covers or both be within the same cover.

Abstract: A product upon which a person may lie down that includes a mattress whose underside has a peripheral flange that bounds a recessed cavity into which is placed an adjustable mechanism that can be actuated to raise or lower the head and foot portions of the mattress. The adjustable mechanism in its flattened state is hidden from view from the sides of the mattress by the peripheral flange.

Abstract: A mattress mount that has a paddle, a riser and an air conduit clamp. The riser spaces the paddle apart from the air conduit clamp at different elevations. A compressible, resilient cushion is secured to a flat surface of the paddle. The paddle with cushion is positioned underneath a mattress to compress the cushion. The paddle extends from the riser to terminate at ta free end. The air conduit claim extends outwardly from the riser to terminate at free ends. The paddle and the air conduit clamp extend at different elevations and in opposite directions from the riser to terminate at their respective free ends.

Abstract: A bedding climate control apparatus that delivers, in a quiet manner, forced airflow from a fan/blower within a housing to selectively deliver tempered (heated via a thermal element) forced airflow and non-tempered (room temperature) forced airflow through a flexible air conduit to bedding. The thermal element imparts heat to temper the forced airflow and the heat deliver may be adjusted to maintain a constant set temperature by adjusting imparted heating power depending on backpressure changes in the forced airflow and ambient temperature.

Abstract: A bedding climate control apparatus that delivers, in a quiet manner, forced airflow from a fan/blower within a housing to selectively deliver tempered (heated via a thermal element) forced airflow and non-tempered (room temperature) forced airflow through a flexible air conduit to bedding. A retention unit holds the flexible air conduit in position against movement and simultaneously retains the bedding in place.

Abstract: A bedding climate control apparatus that delivers, in a quiet manner, forced airflow from a fan/blower within a housing to selectively deliver tempered (heated via a thermal element) forced airflow and non-tempered (room temperature) forced airflow through a flexible air conduit to bedding. The quiet manner is attained with acoustic dampening material in the path of incoming airflow to the fan/blower and by oversizing each of the components that create a pressure drop including the capacity of the fan/blower over what is needed to deliver a required amount of airflow. Temperature may be set remotely via a wireless remote control and via a protocol access enabled device.

Abstract: A bedding climate control apparatus that delivers, in a quiet manner, forced airflow from a fan/blower within a housing to selectively deliver tempered (heated via a thermal element) and untempered (room temperature) air through a flexible hose to bedding. The quiet manner is attained with acoustic dampening material in the path of incoming airflow to the fan/blower and by oversizing each of the components that create a pressure drop including the capacity of the fan/blower over what is needed to deliver a required amount of airflow.

Abstract: A bed covering having a plurality of layers between which is an air cavity and having at least one air inlet in fluid communication with the air cavity. The layers have folds and have fasteners. The fasteners may fasten and unfasten and include respective fastener components that self-close when brought together to engage each other and that disengage to separate from each other. The fastener components when fastened to each other close the at least one air inlet and when unfastened from each other open the at least on air inlet. An elastic band is also provided on the periphery to wrap around an air tube when inserted into the at least one air inlet and apply an elastic force under tension to retain the same.

Abstract: An adjustable power bed layer that has a bed frame that folds from a flattened state to a folded state and from a flattened state to an adjusted state. The bed frame has an inner and outer frame that nest with each other in the flattened state. Head side and foot side actuators drive sliding members back and forth along respective tracks to pivot respective articulating frames between the flattened and adjusted states. The articulating frames are part of one of the inner and outer frames and the tracks are connected to the other of the inner and outer frames. In the folded state, the bed frame is positioned to that one of head side and foot side actuators becomes accessible for maintenance and servicing from above depending upon which way the bed frame is folded about its folding pivot.
