Development of a Neural-Net Based Decision Support System of Mattress Patterns

This paper describes a mattress decision system based on users\´ characteristics. Generally, the comfortable bed means what sleeping posture and body pressure keep a good condition. The term "good condition" is that sleeping posture are close to the standing position and the wide body pressure. Therefore, the proposed system makes use of these as the evaluation indexes. In the past, they have been actually measuring that sleeping posture and body pressure. However, this way needs a lot of time and physical load. Consequently, we propose a way to predict users\´ sleeping posture and body pressures using neural networks
