An object of the invention is to provide a bed which can surely detect the positional shift and heartbeat vibration of a bedded person while suppressing the increase of the cost and the degradation of the comfortability of a bed, and to provide a bed and an in-bed state detection method which can prevent the undesirable caught at the time of elevating the bed.

In order to detect the shift of a bedded person, a ratio of intensities between output signals from first pressure sensitive sensor 21 and a second pressure sensitive sensor 22 each having a cable shape is obtained. These sensors are disposed along the lying direction at the both end sides of a bedding surface 15a on which a bedded person lies, respectively. When the ratio is in a range of a predetermined shift state set in advance, it is determined that the positional shift of a bedded person on the bedding surface 15a occurs. Further, a low-repulsion urethane layer is provided within a bed pad thereby to detect the heartbeat vibration. Furthermore, the elevational driving of the panel portion is controlled in accordance with the output form the pressure sensitive sensor disposed on a bed.

The head height adjusting bag (33) is filled with head height adjusting materials (31).

The mattress or mattress topper is a new and improved breast support device that supports breasts with two breast support panels with multifunctional uses. The mattress or mattress topper is horizontally oriented, made in standard mattress sizes and may be modified to include in various sizes and shapes. This device will assist in the support of breasts while simultaneously providing a premium sleeping surface for the spouse or partner who sleeps next to the primary user. The design embodies two rectangular insert panels. Each panel has a soft supple material on the top surface and a firm sturdy material on the bottom surface. The panels will penetrate downwardly and fill the transverse breast cavity that stretches across the respective common breast area. The reversible panels provide options for the user or users based on their support needs; to sleep on designated sides of the bed; and also give an option to transform the entire bed back to full support for guests. The soft breast support area accommodates breast implants, large breasts, or sore breasts during nursing or a post surgery condition, thus allowing primary user to lie comfortably in prone position without undo pressure to the breasts. The embodiment also allows primary user to roll over and still have back support or support while sleeping on side. The device allows the primary user's spouse or partner to concurrently rest on the same surface without any obstruction between them in the flat mattress plane as typically seen from raised pillow apparatuses or breast cushions in the prior arts.
