About CCSS
The Climate Control Sleep System (CCSS) utilizes a highly-efficient, solid state thermoelectric device to direct warmed or cooled air to a special air distribution layer of the mattress through air ducts connecting the mattress to the foundation.  Two separate temperature zones have their own heat or cool settings for a personalized microclimate sleep environment.  There are five available settings in each of the heat and cool modes as well as an ambient setting.  The bed can be controlled using either the master control unit or one of the two remotes provided for each zone.  A clock and timer are also included in the master control unit to allow for preconditioning of the mattress and cycling in minute or hour increments for up to 8 hours of individualized comfort.
