A bed can include one or more connectors for connecting components of the bed. For example, a frame can include a fastening mechanism for releasably connecting a cross-member to a longitudinal support. Another example includes connectors for connecting and aligning a foundation with a frame.

A controller of a bed is configured to receive one or more different types of sleep data, determine a sleep regularity factor for the user and a chronotype of the user, access, a machine learning model trained to determine a sleep onset time for the user, the machine learning model being trained based on (i) the one or more different types of sleep data including data that is representative of historic sleep times and historic wake time for the user, (ii) the sleep regularity factor of the user, and (iii) the chronotype of the user, determine e, based on an output of the machine learning model, a sleep onset time for the user, determine a target time to communicate a bedtime reminder notification to the user, and responsive to determining a target time to communicate a bedtime reminder notification to the user, communicate the bedtime reminder notification to the user.

A valve can include a solenoid coil, a plunger having a core configured to respond to a magnetic field generated by the solenoid coil, and a valve disc. The valve disc can be positioned at a head of the core and configured to cushion impact when the valve is closed. A bumper can be positioned and configured to cushion impact when the valve is opened. The valve can be used in an air bed system in fluid connection between an air pump and an inflatable air chamber of a mattress.

A bed has a mattress. A sensor is configured to sense sleep readings of a user sleeping on the bed. An automation controller is configured to transmit the sleep readings to a cloud service. Hardware hosting the cloud service is configured to compare the sleep readings with trend data in order to generate adjustments to the user's sleep environment.

An air bed system including a plurality of peripheral devices and a pump unit configured to adjust a firmness of an air mattress, the pump unit including a pump. The system further includes a controller configured to execute instructions that cause the pump unit to wirelessly pair with at least one of the plurality of peripheral devices. The pump unit is configured to receive at least one control signal addressed to the at least one of the plurality of peripheral devices, and transmit the at least one control signal to the addressed device.

A method and bed system for controlling a mattress climate-control system based on a thermal event. The bed system includes a mattress, a mattress climate-control system, a mechanical thermal detector, and a controller. The mattress climate-control system controls a climate at the mattress. The mechanical thermal detector is positioned at the mattress. A condition of the mechanical thermal detector changes in response to a thermal event at the mattress. The controller is connected to the mattress climate-control system. The controller perform operations including detecting the condition of the mechanical thermal detector and operating the mattress climate-control system based on the condition of the mechanical thermal detector.

Temperature sensors are configured to sense a temperature for the sleeper and transmit temperature readings. A controller is configured to receive temperature readings; and send to a heating subsystem instructions to initiate a warming process that raises a distal temperature of the sleeper more than a proximal temperature of the sleeper. The heating subsystem that may include a heating element that, when engaged, can raise the distal temperature of the sleeper more than the proximal temperature of the sleeper.

Described are bed systems with side rail accessories. A foundation can include a side rail accessory having at least one support pole and a first side rail having first and second mounting holes that can receive the support pole and support the side rail accessory. The side rail accessory can be a tabletop and/or handle with the support pole.

In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a system including: a bed; at least one sensor configured to: sense pressure applied to the bed by a user on the bed; and transmit sensor readings from the sensing of the pressure applied to the bed, wherein the sensor readings include electrophysiological signals; a computing system including one or more processors and memory, the computing system configured to: receive the sensor readings; identify, using the sensor readings, a plurality of sleep sessions for the user sleeping on the bed; determine, using a machine learning model and the sensor readings, occurrences of one or more respiratory events across the plurality of sleep sessions; and determine, using the occurrences of the respiratory events, an apnea severity score for the user of the bed for the plurality of sleep sessions.

A device may include: a bed. A sensor may be configured to configured to: sense pressure applied to the bed; and transmit a pressure stream. A plurality of temperature sensors arranged across the bed can be configured to: sense temperature in a particular location of the bed; and transmit a datastream of the sensed temperature. A computing system comprising can be configured to: receive the pressure stream; receive each of the datastreams; identify an apnea event; generate a sequence of heart rate values for the user for cardiac activity; generate a sequence of skin temperature values for the user; determine a change in heart rate; determine a change in skin temperature within the second time window; determine a relationship between the change in heart rate and the change in skin temperature; and determine a severity score for the apnea event based on the relationship.
