Claims20
A heating element configured to be installed in a bed, the heating element comprising:
- a resistive wire sealed in a semi-rigid material, where the resistive wire is shaped within the semi-rigid material to include multiple parallel segments each attached by a curved segment;
- and
- a connector configured to attach the resistive wire to a power source, wherein the resistive wire is configured to generate heat when power from the power source is applied to the resistive wire.
A heating element configured to be installed in a bed, the heating element comprising:
- a conductive heating element;
- and
- a connector configured to attach the conductive heating element to a power source, wherein the conductive heating element is configured to generate heat when power from the power source is applied to the conductive heating element.
