Specification

The present disclosure relates generally to mattresses. More particularly, the present disclosure provides a mattress for controlling temperature of the mattress, and also provides massage to a person.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art. [0003] Comfort while sleeping often depend on the ambient conditions immediately proximate to a user, such as local temperatures and humidity levels within a bed. While large-scale environmental control, such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning are available and installed to provide comfort control to a room or a building as a whole. These environmental control means control temperature of room or building, but personalized control within the bed is not provided.
[0004] Many people have trouble in sleeping when the ambient temperature is too low. When it is very cold, the people may be unable to achieve comfort required to fall asleep, as they use quilt or blankets to get warm, but the side of body which is towards the mattress not gets required warmth. Therefore, there is a need of mattress which provides warm effect during the sleep to improve the quality of sleep.
[0005] Existing bed device has been developed to provide warm air to a spring mattress, but there is a disadvantage that it takes long time to warm up the spring mattress. Also, since the hot air generation device is to be operated for a long time so that the spring mattress becomes warm, the thermal efficiency is low and it is not economical.
[0006] Existing technologies also disclosed an electric blanket with an integrated electrical heating device which can be placed above the top bed sheet or below the bottom bed sheet. The electric blanket may be used to pre-heat

the bed before use or to keep the occupant warm while in bed. However, the sheet is not fixed on the mattress and may be slip at the time of sleeping or sitting, which requires extra time to adjust the sheet always.
[0007] Also, many rollers are available in the market to massage muscles of the user to provide relief, however these rollers are specific for some part, such as rollers for legs, or rollers to be used by hand, or by positioning under the back, and user have to move the body on the roller to massage. Drawbacks of these devices are they are not automatically operated and time controlled, thereby needing frequent manual, also no rollers are available in the bed to massage the body while resting on the bed.
[0008] There is no mattress available in the market which facilitates in enabling the user to wake up on time, plurality of alarm clocks are available, but the user snooze or turn off the alarm while sleeping, similarly alarm sets in mobile device are snoozed or turned off while sleeping. Therefore, there is a need to provide a mattress which facilitates in alerting or awakening the user on time. [0009] To overcome the drawbacks of the prior art there is a need to provide a massager bed apparatus having automatically controlled rollers for providing maximum relief from pinch pressure in target areas without disturbing the patient frequently.
[0010] There is a need to overcome above mentioned problem and other limitation of existing and utilized techniques by bringing a solution which can control temperature of the mattress as preferred by the user, also provides means to massage the body.
