Sensor strip for use with sleeping systems and anchor for use with sensor strip

A cushioning system, comprising:

• a mattress;
• and
• at least one sensor strip extending at least partially across the mattress including:
• a first textile layer;
• one or more sensors carried by the first textile layer;
• an intermediate layer laterally surrounding at least a portion of the one or more sensors;
• and
• a second textile layer superimposed with the first textile layer and covering the one or more sensors and the intermediate layer, a perimeter of the second textile layer fastened to a perimeter of the first textile layer.

A method of manufacturing a cushioning system, comprising:

• positioning one or more sensors along a first textile layer;
• coupling the one or more sensors to the first textile layer;
• superimposing a second textile layer over the first textile layer;
• and
• coupling at least a portion of a perimeter of the second textile layer to at least a portion of a perimeter of the first textile layer.
