Thermal-regulation
Mattress
The mattress design combines different materials based on the body segments distribution with a fourlayer sandwiched structure is capable of improving local thermal comfort and overall thermal comfort. The top layer has a V-shaped structure to increase the friction between the skin and the mattress; the second layer has a X-shaped structure where a different material has been used to increase the heat dissipation of the torso; the third layer is designed for ventilation and moisture transmission; and the bottom layer is designed for pressure redistribution.

About sleep Sleep mechanism Sleep mechanism requires 90 minutes to complete a cycle which comprise of the Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) sleep and the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep [1]. Moreover, NREM consists of four stages; stage 1 and stage 2 are considered as light sleep while stage 3 and stage 4 are considered as deep sleep. Stage 3 and 4 of NREM are also known as Slow Wave Sleep (SWS), because of the relatively lower frequency and higher amplitude of brain waves, is regarded as an important stage to relieve fatigue of body and mind [2].

Sleep cycle in a period (90 minutes) S1 --> S2 --> S3 -->S4 --> S2 -->REM
Thermoregulation
Sleep thermal comfort
Thermoregulation takes place during the main sleep period which makes skin temperature gradually drops in this period, and further raises the core body temperature at the end of sleeping period [3]. Hence, the change of body temperature is closely related to the phenomenon of sleep and wakefulness.
Sleep thermal comfort is one of the critical factors that affects sleep quality. A comfortable thermal environment is essential for shorter sleep latency and sound sleep duration [4]. The design of mattress that contacts the human body provides direct impact on sleep thermal comfort.
8
Bedding System
A comfortable sleeping environment Besides the light and sound, bedding system is an important role to provide a comfortable sleeping environment, it is used for many hours in direct contact with people. The influence of mattress contacted to human body on physiology and subjective feeling contribute to good sleep quality, quantity, and mechanism [5]. The ideal bedding system should be able to cope with the variable conditions and achieve the local need of body sites [6].
9
Physical variables A good bedding system is universally accepted as one that provides comfortable support to the subject. The physical variables associated with comfort could include spinal alignment [7], contact pressure or weight distribution, interface skin temperature, and vapor exchange between the subject and the bedding system. Motivation The body contours that are in contact with the mattress surface are dependent on the sleeping posture. Furthermore, body tissues transfer heat in/out of the body in a different manner and sensitivities to thermal stimulus differ from area to area on the body surface [8].

Preparation before bringing the Baby out Most mothers spend a lot of time and effort in preparing baby supplies when going out. There are even times when mothers are in fear of forgetting of bringing something. Therefore, a mother must prepare a lot of items, and “a lot of items� can cause miscount or forgetfulness; resulting the mother to bring more than what she needed. In addition, we can often see mothers carrying large bags of various needs of their babies, causing the mothers to careless of their appearance and dress.
19
Observation and Interview We have interviewed and observed the way several mothers prepare their supplies and found out that 1. the younger the baby the more supplies are needed to be brought out. 2. a larger Diaper Bag that has enough space for storage is needed. 3. some of the mothers would like to buy both practical and beautiful Diaper Bag. 4. most concerned about the cleanliness and safety of the baby supplies.
20
Analysis By observing the different processes of mothers in the preparation of baby supplies, we have categorized the items into four category, i.e. food, clothing, baby’s neccesaries, and mother’s items. Furthermore, we have divided the moment taking baby out into three sections, i.e. before going out, at the moment, and after going out. According to the need of our target users, we have summarized the main points that mothers care about. Before
