Patent number: 11937701Abstract: A bed system includes microclimate control capabilities for providing quality sleep experience. The bed system can include a microclimate control subsystem configured to supply conditioned air (e.g., heated or cooled air) to a mattress, or draw ambient air from the mattress, to achieve a desired temperature at the top of the mattress. Utilizing supply of conditioned air to provide air at desired temperature to the mattress system, or utilizing air suction to drain heat away from the mattress system, can provide precise microclimate control at the mattress, thereby permitting conformable sleep.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Sleep Number CorporationInventors: Kody Lee Karschnik, Chee Nong Yang, Eric Stephen Rose, Caleb Siffring, Alexander Norell, Reuben Wesley Meline

Publication number: 20230276948Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for temperature control of a bed. A system can include a bed having first and second sides, the bed having a mattress, a first thermal module on the first side, and a second thermal module on the second side. A computer system can receive data about the bed, such as temperature, pressure, heat routine activation, and cool routine activation data for at least one of the first and second side, determine that a heat routine is activated on the first side based on the data, detect that the second side is unoccupied by a user, generate, based on (i) the heat routine being activated and (ii) the second side being unoccupied, instructions that cause the second thermal module to activate a heat crosstalk mitigation routine, and transmit the instructions to the second thermal module for activation of the heat crosstalk mitigation routine on the second side.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2022Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Kody Lee Karschnik, Chee Nong Yang
