Description

  The present invention relates to a structure of bedroom furniture disposed in a bedroom.

  Reflecting the rhythm of life rhythms and the recent stressful society, the number of people suffering from insomnia is increasing, and there is an increasing demand for “sleep”. Furthermore, sleeping time accounts for a large proportion of the life time of a person, and in order to obtain a good sleep, there is a growing awareness that the sleeping environment is not only set to sleep, but also the sleeping environment is selected by selecting bedding and a bedroom.

In order to get a comfortable sleep, the bedroom environment is important. If the lighting in the room is too bright, the brain will be stimulated and it will be difficult to fall asleep. In addition, the temperature and humidity of the room are one of the important conditions for obtaining a comfortable sleep, and it is impossible to sleep well if it is too cold or too hot.
In general, the brightness of the bedroom should be 20-30 lux. This is the illuminance that allows you to see the shape of the object. In addition, when going into sleep, it is preferable to gradually reduce the illuminance of the lighting to adjust the environment to go into sleep slowly.
In general, the ideal room temperature in the bedroom is 25 ° C. in summer, 15 ° C. in winter, and the humidity is 50% throughout the year.

  In order to create a comfortable bedroom environment with respect to lighting and temperature, technologies for the bedroom have been developed. For example, some lighting devices that are generally available on the market can be controlled in brightness, gradually darkened, or gradually brightened. Some commercially available air conditioners are controlled such that the blown air does not directly hit the body, the blown air is at random intervals, or the room temperature is kept substantially constant.

Furthermore, in order to prevent a blown air from directly hitting the body and to form a gentle air flow suitable for sleeping, a technique for providing an air outlet of an air conditioner around the bed is disclosed.
For example, in the techniques described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, a technique in which an air outlet of an air conditioning facility is provided on a side portion of a bed frame is disclosed. Moreover, in the technique described in Patent Document 3, a technique in which an air outlet of an air conditioning facility is provided on the upper part of the bed head is disclosed.
