ABSTRACT



Healthy and comfortable sleep is an essential factor helping protect health and maintain high human physical efficiency. That is why mattress designers and manufactures should reach out for tools based on the latest technologies allowing appropriate design of furniture constructions and ensure their best ergonomics. The system ‘Force Sensitive Applications’ presented in this article makes it possible to design more human-oriented mattresses characterized by better properties than those designed using traditional tools without possibilities of a dynamic and easily accessible verification of the correctness of the employed materials in upholstered systems.

Key words: ergonomics, furniture mattresses, sensory mat, upholstered systems.
