An articulable sleep system has a first head section, a second head section, and a joined leg section that are each separable articulable. A head motor system includes a first and second head motors operably connected to the first and second head sections. A leg motor system includes first and second leg motors operably connected to the joined leg section. A first user controlling device is hard wired to each of the first head motor, the first leg motor, and the second leg motor. A second user controlling device hard wired to each of the second head motor, the first leg motor, and the second leg motor.

A connecting device for a push rod of a bed frame is configured to connect a bedside drive rod and a bed-end drive rod of the bed frame. The connecting device contains: a fixing sheet, a coupling sheet, and at least one first locking element. The fixing sheet includes a first connection orifice fitted with the bedside drive rod or the bed-end drive rod, and at least one first lock orifice. The coupling sheet includes at least one second lock orifice and a joining portion. The at least one first locking element is inserted through the at least one first lock orifice of the fixing sheet and the at least one second lock orifice of the coupling sheet so as to connect the fixing sheet and the coupling sheet.

An air system for a bed can include a layer assembly having a head end, a foot end, and first and second sides, with a head portion near the head end, a foot portion near the foot end, and a middle portion between the head portion and the foot portion, the layer assembly. The layer assembly can have a spacer layer comprising spacer material configured to allow for air flow through the spacer material and a cover comprising a cover top layer and a cover bottom layer. The air system can have a distribution manifold that is substantially fan-shaped with a plurality of ribs defining channels and/or is positioned above the cover bottom layer and under the spacer layer. The air system can have first and second flaps with first and second retention features extending from the head and foot ends of the air layer.

Sleep systems include multiple foundation sections. For example, one sleep system includes a foundation with modular first, second, and third foundation sections. The modular first foundation section extends laterally along a first portion of a width of the foundation and extends longitudinally along a first portion of a length of the foundation. The modular second foundation section extends laterally along a second portion of the width of the foundation and extends longitudinally along the first portion of the length of the foundation. The modular third foundation section extends laterally across substantially the entire width of the foundation and extends longitudinally along a second portion of the length of the foundation.

The invention is an asymmetrical bedframe. The bedframe is divided off-center, forming a first platform, or back support section and a second platform, or leg support section. Preferably, the platforms are split to separate the area of the bed frame into a first platform that occupies one-third of the area of the bedframe, and a second platform that occupies two-thirds of the area of the bedframe. The first platform—the smaller area—is intended to support the back of the user or sleeper, specifically by providing a rotational force to keep the user on their side. The second platform—the larger area—is intended to support the body of the user, including head, arms, torso, legs, and feet. The angle of each platform is independently adjustable without causing motion of the bedframe with respect to the floor.

A furniture drive includes a control device, an electromotive adjustment drive, and a manual control with a manual operator control unit which is connected to the control device via a cable for activating the adjustment drive via a first transmission path for operator control commands. The furniture drive further includes an adapter which is coupled to the control device to establish a second transmission path for operator control commands.

A lift and position device and adapter and methods of use therewith designed to aid attendants in moving and propping the various selected body parts of a patient from atop a support surface, for example, a mattress or hospital bed. The device utilizes a base for stability, a separately powered screw jack, radial adjustment head, a cushion cradle and a single or plurality of fitted cushion(s) configured to optimally raise and lower a particular body part of a patient such as his or her arms, torso, legs, back and the like. An adapter device may optionally re-orient the lift and positioning device, as appropriate, to suit the specific needs of an attendant wishing to the lift, shift, position or prop and secure a particular body part of a patient.
