Controlling a mattress climate-control system based on thermal event

A bed system comprising:

• a mattress;
• a mattress climate-control system configured to control a climate at the mattress;
• a thermal event protection assembly comprising:
• a mechanical thermal detector positioned at the mattress, the mechanical thermal detector comprising a thermal wire assembly comprising:
• a first wire;
• a second wire that is spiral-wrapped about the first wire;
• and
• a coating separating the first wire from the second wire, the coating configured to melt responsive to a thermal event,
• wherein the mechanical thermal detector is configured to change between a normal operating configuration and a thermal event operating configuration in response to a thermal event,
• wherein when in the mechanical thermal detector is in the normal operating configuration, the first wire is separated from the second wire by the coating and a resistance of the mechanical thermal detector is greater than a first resistance threshold,
• wherein when the mechanical thermal detector is in the thermal event operating configuration, whereby the coating has melted responsive to the thermal event, the first wire and the second wire are in contact to short-circuit the mechanical thermal detector and the resistance of the mechanical thermal detector is less than or equal to the first resistance threshold;
• and
• a controller operatively coupled to the mattress climate-control system, the controller configured to perform operations,
• based on the resistance of the mechanical thermal detector, comprising:
• based on the resistance being equal to or greater than the first resistance threshold indicating the mechanical thermal detector is in the normal operating configuration enabling operation of the mattress climate-control system;
• and
• based on the resistance being less than the first resistance threshold, the first resistance threshold representing that the mechanical thermal detector is short-circuited, disabling the mattress climate-control system.
