Claim 11:
12. A mattress system comprising:
a mattress having a first climate control zone, a second climate control zone, a third climate control zone, and a fourth climate control zone;
a first air chamber included in the mattress and configured to be inflated or deflated to adjust firmness at a first side of the mattress;
a second air chamber included in the mattress and configured to be inflated or deflated to adjust firmness at a second side of the mattress;
a first airflow pad included in the mattress and configured to allow air to flow through the first climate control zone;
a second airflow pad included in the mattress and configured to allow air to flow through the second climate control zone;
a third airflow pad included in the mattress and configured to allow air to flow through the third climate control zone;
a fourth airflow pad included in the mattress and configured to allow air to flow through the fourth climate control zone;
one or more air controllers in fluid communication with each of the first, second, third, and fourth climate control zones and configured to independently supply air to or draw air from each of the first, second, third, and fourth climate control zones;
one or more processors; and
a computer-readable storage medium coupled to the one or more processors having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
commanding the one or more air controllers to operate in a first mode whereby heated or cooled air is supplied to the first climate control zone while air is simultaneously drawn from the second climate control zone;
commanding the one or more air controllers to operate in a second mode whereby heated or cooled air is supplied to the third climate control zone while air is simultaneously drawn from the fourth climate control zone; and
commanding the one or more air controllers to adjust a flow rate of the air drawn from the second climate control zone or the fourth climate control zone to reduce an interference of the heated or cooled air supplied to the first climate control zone or the third climate control zone, the interference occurring from the first climate control zone to the second climate control zone and the third climate control zone to the fourth climate control zone.
