Heat conductivity and moisture permeability through the pocket spring mattress

A person with his thermo-physiological characteristics directly influence the mattress by changing his properties and a healthy bed climate. In this paper, the heat conductivity and moisture permeability through the mattress with the pocket spring core during the sleep were studied. Each of four subjects slept for seven nights on the same mattress in their own bedroom. Seven sensors measured the heat and moisture content released by the subject to the mattress and the environmental conditions. The results have shown that during first 180 minutes of lying, the temperature increases on all sensors and starts to decrease after that time. It has been observed that the moisture in most cases increases in the direction from the top layer of mattress towards the centre, and that the moisture above the coconut coir layer does not stay much longer than in the other mattress layers and can be relatively quick to dry out.
