Abstract

A system includes an air distribution pad and an air distributor. The air distribution pad is adapted to fit substantially on an upper bed surface of a mattress of an adjustable bed and comprises a head portion, a foot portion, a longitudinal middle portion between the head portion and the foot portion, and an upper surface extending along the head portion, the longitudinal middle portion and the foot portion. The air distributor is operably connected to the air distribution pad so as to create a flow path from the air distributor through the air distribution pad to the upper surface. The air distributor is connected to the air distribution pad within the longitudinal middle portion of the air distribution pad.
