Abstract

A mattress selection system comprises a test bed including a box spring and a compartmented air mattress which generates electrical outputs indicative of the weight distribution of a subject. The sensor outputs are processed automatically, in conjunction with answers to a questionnaire, to generate a recommendation of which of a selection of available mattress systems, is most suitable for the subject.
