A smart mattress and adaptive actuation systems for a flexible fabric are disclosed. The mattress can include a flexible fabric associated with a sleeping surface configured to engage a user arranged in a lying position. An actuation assembly can be configured to manipulate the sleeping surface. In one example, the actuation assembly includes a flexible bladder containing a fluid, and a pair of electrodes at least partially separated by the flexible bladder. The pair of electrodes can be configured to manipulate the fluid for changing a shape of the flexible bladder, and the sleeping surface can be responsive to the shape of the flexible bladder. The actuation assembly can also include an array of shapeable materials that change shape upon the receipt of heat. The sleeping surface can be responsive to the shape of the shapeable materials.
