Sleep deprivation and slow sleep quality are important yet often overlooked issues that burden many adults. To address this issue, we researched, designed, prototyped, and tested a new mattress system capable of adjusting the temperature of the mattress, and therefore created a more comfortable sleep for the users. This system was proven to be able to provide a gradual decrease in temperature within the mattress, maintain physical comfort and save electricity cost and energy compared to air conditioning.
