Mattress with sensors and replacement indicator and methods of making and using the same

1. A mattress, comprising:

one or more pressure sensors disposed between a first layer of material and a second layer of material;

a control circuit, operable with the one or more pressure sensors; and

a user interface, operable with the control circuit and comprising a display, the control circuit selectively presenting on the user interface one of three color-coded indications;

wherein:

when a sensed pressure detected by the one or more pressure sensors is below a first predefined sensor threshold, the control circuit presents:

a first color-coded indication on the user interface, the first color-coded indication comprising a green light presentation indicating that the mattress is within its useful lifespan; and

first information on the display, the first information indicating that the mattress is within a useful lifespan;

when the sensed pressure is between the first predefined sensor threshold and a second predefined sensor threshold, the control circuit presents:

a second color-coded indication on the user interface, the second color-coded indication comprising a yellow light presentation indicating that the mattress is approaching the useful lifespan; and

different information on the display, the different information indicating that the mattress is approaching an end of the useful lifespan; and

when the sensed pressure is above the second predefined sensor threshold, the control circuit presents:

a third color-coded indication on the user interface, the third color-coded indication comprises a red light presentation indicating that the mattress has exceeded the useful lifespan; and

third information on the display, the third information indicating that the mattress has exceeded the useful lifespan.

2. The mattress of claim 1 , wherein the mattress is manufactured from foam.

3. The mattress of claim 2 , wherein the foam of the first layer of material is different from the foam of the second layer of material.

4. The mattress of claim 3 , wherein the foam of the first layer of material is softer than the foam of the second layer of material.

5. The mattress of claim 1 , the user interface comprising three light sources, each separate from another.

6. The mattress of claim 5 , the display separate from the three light sources.

7. The mattress of claim 1 , wherein the first layer of material comprises an uppermost layer of the mattress and the second layer of material comprises a second uppermost layer of the mattress.

8. The mattress of claim 1 , the first information comprising a word, the word being GOOD.

9. The mattress of claim 1 , the different information comprising a different word, the different word being WATCH.

10. The mattress of claim 1 , the third information comprising a third word, the third word being REPLACE.

11. The mattress of claim 1 , further comprising a communication circuit, the communication circuit communicating the one of three color-coded indications to a remote device across a network.

12. The mattress of claim 1 , the user interface comprising a red light, a yellow light, and a green light, each separate from another.

13. The mattress of claim 1 , wherein the one or more pressure sensors comprise a plurality of pressure sensors arranged in an array.

14. The mattress of claim 1 , wherein the one or more pressure sensors are calibrated such that at least a predetermined force is required for the one or more pressure sensors to measure the sensed pressure.

15. The mattress of claim 1 , further comprising one or more moisture sensors disposed between the first layer of material and the second layer of material.

16. The mattress of claim 1 , wherein the display further presents the sensed pressure on a graph.

17. The mattress of claim 16 , the graph comprising one or more thresholds that are a function of a material of the mattress, a size of the mattress, a number of layers of material within the mattress, a weight of a person using the mattress, a size of the person using the mattress, or combinations thereof.

18. The mattress of claim 16 , further comprising one or more moisture sensors disposed between the first layer of material and the second layer of material, wherein the graph further comprises an indication of moisture sensed by the one or more moisture sensors.

19. The mattress of claim 1 , further comprising one or more temperature sensors operable with the control circuit.

20. The mattress of claim 1 , further comprising a geolocation sensor operable with the control circuit.
