Abstract:

To optimize the design of bedding systems, the difference of physiological parameters during different sleeping periods was considered. In this research, a four-node thermoregulation model was established and verified, the change of core temperature and skin temperature was predicted, and the effects of ambient temperature, thermal resistance of bedding system and contact area between human body and bedding system on thermal comfort for sleeping human were investigated. The results show that core temperature and skin temperature both increase with the increasing of ambient temperature, whereas core temperature during NREM in low temperature environment is hardly affected by the ambient temperature. The influence of thermal resistance of bedding system on core temperature is not significant, while the skin temperature is kept increasing with thermal resistance of bedding system. The core temperature and skin temperature both increase with the increasing of the contact area between human body and bedding system, but the core temperature is less affected. The results of this study will provide scientific basis for design of high-performance home textile products.

Key words: temperature regulation, thermal comfort, four-node model, bedding system, home textile product
