Apparatuses and methods for evaluating a person for a sleep system

A method for evaluating a person for a sleep system, the method comprising:

• while the person is not positioned on an evaluating member:
• adjusting a pressure of a comfort layer inflatable member disposed within a comfort layer of the evaluating member to a initial comfort value;
• and
• adjusting a pressure of a support layer inflatable member disposed within a support layer of the evaluating member to an initial support value;
• positioning the person on the evaluating member in a first position;
• while the person is positioned on the evaluating member in the first position:
• measuring a pressure of the comfort layer inflatable member as a first measured comfort value;
• and
• measuring a pressure of the support layer inflatable member as a first measured support value;
• calculating a difference between the first measured comfort value and the initial comfort value as ΔCOMFORT PRESSURE 1;
• calculating a difference between the first measured support value and the initial support value as ΔSUPPORT PRESSURE 1;
• calculating, using at least one processor, a first optimal pressure level for the comfort layer inflatable member using ΔCOMFORT PRESSURE 1;
• calculating, using the at least one processor, a first optimal pressure level for the support layer inflatable member using ΔSUPPORT PRESSURE 1;
• and
• recommending, using the at least one processor, a sleep support member for the person using both the calculated first optimal pressure level for the comfort layer inflatable member and the calculated first optimal pressure level for the support layer inflatable member.
