A convertible cooler comprises a cooler body, a lid having a top surface and a rear connector part, a bed extension having an adjoining edge and a sleeping surface, a bed extension connector pivotally connecting the adjoining edge to the rear connector part to rotate the bed extension between a stowed position, in which the bed extension rests flat upon the top surface of the lid, and an extended position, in which the sleeping surface of the bed extension is substantially coplanar with the top surface of the lid, and a leg assembly connected to the bed extension and adjustably supporting the bed extension above ground at a level that places the sleeping surface substantially coplanar with the top surface of the lid when in the extended position. The lid top surface and the sleeping surface of the bed extension are sized to permit a person to sleep thereon.

Disclosed are adjustable supports, bedding support assemblies, and foldable bed frames having adjustable supports, bedding support assemblies or both. A foldable bed frame includes first and second sub-frames, first and second leg assemblies, and one or more bedding support assemblies to support a bed cloth. First and second sub-frames are pivotally connected to each other at their proximal sides. First and second leg assemblies are pivotally connected with the first and second sub-frames, respectively. A bedding support assembly includes a bedding support, and one or more linking mechanisms to pivotally connect the bedding support with a sub-frame, a leg assembly or both. The bedding support assembly folds and unfolds along with the sub-frame and the leg assembly.

A convertible bed system is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the system provides at least one substantially horizontally oriented guide rail configured for being secured within a room in a position substantially parallel with a substantially vertically oriented wall of the room. A pair of substantially vertically oriented first and second wall supports are positioned substantially parallel with the wall of the room and slidably engaged with the at least one guide rail in a side-by-side arrangement. A substantially horizontally oriented first bed frame is secured to the first wall support and is sized and configured for supporting a first mattress thereon. A substantially horizontally oriented second bed frame is secured to the second wall support and is sized and configured for supporting a second mattress thereon. The first and second bed frames are capable of selectively moving between one of a joined position—forming a single bed—and a separated position—forming a pair of beds.

A furniture item with at least one wedge-shaped bed and with a vertical axis of rotation, about which the at least one bed and/or at least one wedge-shaped functional element are/is mounted in a rotatable manner. The axis of rotation is arranged at one of the two ends of the bed or is formed by the axis of rotation of a rotary part, on which one of the two bed ends is fastened.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus to block off a space under a bed frame, the apparatus comprising a longitudinal member configured to fill a gap between a floor and a lower edge of the elongated portion of the bed frame, the first end of the longitudinal member being removably connected to the first leg of the bed frame by a first connector, and the second end of the longitudinal member being removably connected to the second leg of the bed frame by a second connector. Corresponding systems and methods also are disclosed.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for integrating remote controls into beds include a support for a remote control and an optional cradle. The support may be secured to the bed at a location where it is readily accessible to an individual as he or she lies on the bed. The support may receive the cradle or the remote control. The cradle, if any, may receive the remote control. The cradle may include a secondary remote system that may enable an individual to control certain functions of the bed, accessories thereto, and/or the environment in which the bed is located. Methods for securing and controlling a bed, any accessories, and the environment in which the bed is located are also disclosed.
