| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of the kinds of bed mattresses at the thermal environmental conditions of bedroom
The experiments were carried out in a climatic chamber changed at three thermal conditions (temperatures and humidities ; low (13ﾟC,50%), middle (20ﾟC,60%) and high (29ﾟC,70%)). Three kinds of bed mattres (sprinng, water and jel) were used for the test materials..
On the first step, the changes of relative humidities and temperatures in bed, the pressures upon the body and the physiological reactions were measured during the subjects lied on the back or side. The second step, were measured during all night sleepinng. The results were as follows ;
1.The pressure values around of the shoulder back and buttocs keeps large but subjective senses are strong at the waist..
2.Many body movements during all night sleeping are observed on the spring mattres but a few on the water and jel mattres. There are find the correlation between the elasticities of mattres and the body movements during all night sleeping.
3.Temperatures in the bed don't differ with mattreses, while high humidities in the bed are observed with water and jel mattreses at each ambient temperatures.
