Title:
Thermal conductivity and moisture permeability in mattress
Research subject and fields:
Abstract:
The aim of the work was to study the relationship between the structure of a mattress and its moisture and thermal conductivity. Moisture and thermal conductivity were recorded during examinees' sleep by means of measuring sensors placed at different positions relative to the human body. The data obtained by measuring moisture and temperature during sleep of three examinees, an adult male, an adult female, and a child, were analysed. The results of the data analysis enable appropriate selection of materials and structure for a mattress, upgrading its quality.
