1. A bed system comprising:
a mattress including a pad that is configured to receive a fluid to be pushed to the pad;
a wake-up control system including at least one controller and at least one user alarm setting, wherein the user alarm setting comprises a plurality of wake settings, including a wake time setting and a dual alarm setting, wherein the dual alarm setting includes a wake temperature setting and a wake motion setting; and
a temperature sensor, wherein the at least one controller is configured to:
receive at least one wake setting to wake up a user of the bed system;
store, to computer memory, the user alarm setting;
determine a current time;
compare the current time to the wake time setting; and
activate the dual alarm setting, based on the comparison of the current time to the wake time setting, wherein
the activation of the dual alarm setting includes a temperature of at least a portion of the pad being at the wake temperature setting and the wake motion setting causing at least the portion of the pad to vibrate at a predetermined setting,
the vibration of the predetermined setting occurs at substantially the same time as the temperature of at least a portion of the pad being at the wake temperature setting, and
wherein the bed system further comprises:
a first pump being in fluid communication with a first zone of the pad via at least one first tube, and configured to supply the fluid into the first zone of the pad,
a first valve assembly configured to regulate flow of the fluid into the first zone of the pad,
a first switch configured to control the first valve assembly,
a second pump being in fluid communication with a second zone of the pad via at least one second tube, and configured to supply the fluid into the second zone of the pad,
a second valve assembly configured to regulate flow of the fluid into the second zone of the pad, and
a second switch configured to control the second valve assembly,
wherein the at least one controller is configured to control the first pump, the first switch, the second pump, and the second switch,
wherein the first pump, the first valve assembly, the first switch, the second pump, the second valve assembly, the second switch, and the at least one controller are housed together inside a common housing as a single unit that is separate from the pad, and
wherein the first pump, the first valve assembly, the second pump, and the second valve assembly in the single unit are in fluid communication with the pad via the at least one first tube and the at least one second tube.
