The conditioner mat of claim 9, wherein the conduit is at least partially incorporated within a guard rail of a bed assembly. 13. The conditioner mat of claim 1, wherein the conditioner mat is configured to be positioned on top of a medical bed. 14. The conditioner mat of claim 1, wherein the upper layer comprises a fluid permeable material. 15. The conditioner mat of claim 1, wherein the upper layer comprises a plurality of openings through which fluid can pass. 16. The conditioner mat of claim 1, wherein the at least one fluid boundary is formed by at least partially joining the upper and lower layer along at least a portion of the conditioner mat. 17. The conditioner mat of claim 16, wherein the upper and lower layers are joined using stitching. 18. The conditioner mat of claim 4, wherein the at least one thermal conditioning device comprises a thermoelectric device. 19. The conditioner mat of claim 4, wherein the at least one thermal conditioning device comprises a convective heater. 20.
