Active comfort controlled bedding systems

A process of providing a massaging action to an end user in an active comfort controlled bedding system, the process comprising:

• adjusting an internal pressure within a plurality of air bladders provided in an innercore unit having an applied load thereon from an end user, wherein each one of the plurality of air bladders includes a pressure sensor configured to measure pressure within a respective air bladder and are transversely positioned relative to a longitudinal axis of the bedding system, and wherein adjusting the internal pressure comprises providing a repeating pattern defined by a pressure increase and subsequent decrease in a selected one of the plurality of air bladders followed a pressure increase and subsequent decrease in a selected other one of the plurality of air bladders to provide the massaging action, wherein an initial air pressure in the plurality of air bladders underlying an intermediate seat region of the active comfort controlled bedding system is greater than an initial air pressure in the plurality of air bladders underlying a leg and foot region, wherein, relative to the initial air pressures, a volume of air exhausted from the selected plurality of air bladders by a pump during the subsequent pressure decrease to effect deflation is greater than a volume of air admitted in the selected plurality of air bladders during the pressure increase to effect inflation.
