Study on Temperature between the Testee and the Bed on Ergonomics

Abstract:

Bed interface material can affect the person's temperature characteristics. This article is based on ergonomics principle and method, paralyzed group for the audience to carry the mattress temperature sensation characteristic experiments. Through the subjective survey, found that paralyzed sponge mattress material local temperature influence the human body, through the objective experiment, it is pointed out that different sponge mattress different effects on human body temperature; correlation between subjective and objective analysis found: Waist temperature on the maximum total thermal comfort; the best waves sponge thermal comfort; consistent with the results of subjective and objective analysis.
