Bedding system and method

A bedding system consisting of:

• a mattress including a top wall comprising a sleep surface and an opposite inner surface, the sleep surface having a plurality of air transfer ports, the air transfer ports being uniformly spaced apart, the sleep surface defining an unobstructed topmost surface of the mattress, the sleep surface being made from a breathable material, the air transfer ports being larger than any pores inherently present in the breathable material, the mattress including a bottom wall comprising a bottom surface and an opposite inner surface, the bottom surface being opposite the sleep surface, the mattress comprising a side wall that connects the top wall and the bottom wall, the bottom wall and the side wall being made of a material that prevents air flow therethrough, the inner surfaces of the top and bottom walls and an inner surface of the side wall defining a cavity having a plurality of springs disposed therein such that the springs continuously from the inner surface of the top wall to the inner surface of the bottom wall, at least one of the walls defining a hole extending therethrough, the hole being in communication with the cavity;
• a hose comprising a first end positioned in the hole such that the first end extends into the cavity and the hose is positioned equidistant between the top and bottom walls;
• and
• a pressure generator coupled to a second end of the hose;
• and
• first and second sensors each configured to send a signal to adjust a fan speed of the pressure generator if a temperature exceeds a selected threshold temperature, the first sensor being positioned in the mattress, the second sensor directly engaging the sleep surface and being positioned directly between two of the air transfer ports such that the second sensor is spaced apart from each of the air transfer ports, wherein the pressure generator is configured to create negative pressure to draw air, moisture or particles in the air transfer ports and/or the cavity through the cavity and into the pressure generator,
• wherein the breathable material is made up of a plurality of woven fibers, the fibers being cut so that the air transfer ports each extend through one or more of the fibers, each of the air transfer ports dividing one or more of the fibers into a first portion and a second portion that is separated from the first portion by one of the air transfer ports.

• and
• a humidity sensor configured to send a signal to adjust the fan speed of the pressure generator if a humidity exceeds a selected threshold humidity, the temperature humidity being positioned in the hose such that the humidity sensor is spaced apart from the temperature sensor,
• wherein the pressure generator is configured to create negative pressure to draw air, moisture or particles in the air transfer ports and/or the cavity through the cavity and into the pressure generator, and
• wherein the breathable material is made up of a plurality of non-woven fibers, the fibers being cut so that the air transfer ports each extend through one or more of the fibers, each of the air transfer ports dividing one or more of the fibers into a first portion and a second portion that is separated from the first portion by one of the air transfer ports.
