  • Publication number: 20260007248
    Abstract: According to embodiments, an air mattress includes an air cell unit including an air cell, and a controller that controls an internal pressure in the air cell. The controller conducts a first operation when the internal pressure in the air cell satisfies the second condition after having satisfied a first condition. The first condition includes the internal pressure becoming from a first value to a second value lower than the first value, a difference between the first value and the second value being equal to or more than a first threshold, and a change rate relative to time of the internal pressure from the first value to the second value being equal to or more than a second threshold. The second condition includes, after the internal pressure has lowered from the first value to the second value, the internal pressure becoming a third value lower than the second value, and a difference between the second value and the third value being equal to or more than a third threshold.

  • Patent number: 12414636
    Abstract: According to embodiments, an air mattress includes an air cell unit and a controller. The air cell unit includes a first air cell and a second air cell. The controller is capable of independently controlling a first internal pressure in the first air cell and a second internal pressure in the second air cell. The controller performs, when receiving an input to change the second internal pressure, after a first operation to set the first internal pressure to a first set internal pressure determined related to the first air cell, a second operation to change the second internal pressure.

  • Patent number: 11986096
    Abstract: According to the embodiments, an air mattress includes an air cell unit, a first side edge unit, and a first pump unit. The air cell unit includes a plurality of air cells that are arranged along a first direction. The first side edge unit includes a polymeric foam. A direction from the first side edge unit to a first portion of the air cell unit is along a second direction that intersects the first direction. The first pump unit performs supply and exhaust of air to and from at least a part of the plurality of the air cells. A direction from the first pump unit to a second portion of the air cell unit is along the second direction. A direction from the first side edge unit to the first pump unit is along the first direction.
