And when the vibration state in the mattress environment parameters is greater than a vibration default value, determining that the comfort level is low. Furthermore, the comfort analysis module 16 analyzes the pressure sensing signals and finds areas with high pressure values. When the maximum pressure value of an area is greater than N times the peripheral pressure value, the comfort analysis module 16 provides a low comfort pressure adjustment signal to the control module 10, so that the control module 10 adjusts the pressure adjustment unit 121 of the corresponding pressure adjustment module 12, so as to reduce the pressure difference value of the area with the high pressure difference.
