The invention concerns an adjustable bed (10) having zero wall clearance and zero gravity functionality. The bed comprises a frame (20) and an adjustable mattress support platform (11) having a plurality of articulated support sections (12, 16, 18) pivotally mounted with respect to one another for relative angular adjustment, and actuator means (52) for effecting coordinated movement of the support sections to reconfigure the bed, between a flat lowered configuration and a raised configuration for supporting an occupant in a zero gravity recumbent position. The actuator means comprises a single actuator, preferably a single linear actuator.

In a method for controlling a furniture drive via voice input, an acoustic signal is converted into an electrical signal. The electrical signal is evaluated by a local voice analysis device, and an operating state of the furniture drive is controlled when a keyword from a set of keywords is recognized during evaluation.

A convertible lounge sofa system for seating, lounging, and working having a sofa seat bottom having a dual armrest/headrest positioned on one end, sofa seat bottom is configurable thereto a side facing chaise lounge seat having a back support segment, a center segment, a seat pan segment, and a lower leg support segment, and a sofa seat back configured to be opened, with deployable working surface, a storage feature, a power/data feature, and a lighting feature, and, thus, functions to enable seating configurations that utilize reduced floor space with smaller foot prints, and enable multi-person seating as in 1-2 or more and then conversion into a single person lounge or work seating by rotating 90 degrees.

An electric motor driven adjustable mattress has a shared casing in which at least one flat cushion element of a cushion structure and an electric motor driven adjustable support apparatus for supporting the cushion element are accommodated. The support apparatus has two support parts that are adjustable relative to one another, and that on their sides facing the cushion element are provided with spring elements for elastically resiliently supporting the cushion element. For adjusting the support parts relative to one another, an electric motor driven drive apparatus is accommodated in the shared casing.

The invention relates to a nursing bed (10) comprising a first frame (34) which supports a first mattress part (18a). The first frame (34) has a central section (40), a back section (44) and an upper leg section (46) and a lower leg section (47). The nursing bed (10) also comprises a second frame (35) having a foot section (57), wherein the second frame (35) supports a second mattress part (18b). The first frame (34) and the second frame (35) of the nursing bed (10) according to the invention are supported by a base (20) of the nursing bed (10). In a nursing bed according to the invention, the second frame (35) is supported separately from the first frame (34) on the base (20). The nursing bed (10) according to the invention is characterised, in particular, in that the second frame (35) being supported separately from the first frame (34) by the base (20) is height-adjustable relative to the base (20). When the vertical position of the second frame (35) relative to the base (20) and/or relative to the central section (40) can be adapted to the position of the lower leg section (47), the nursing bed (10) can be adjusted such that the heels of the patient are supported by the second mattress part (18b) on the foot section (57), and thereby supported by the second frame (35), when the lower leg section (47) is arranged in a position for elevating the legs of the patient. This leads to relief for the patient and to an improvement in leg elevation for therapeutic and preventative purposes.

The disclosure generally relates to an adjustable foundation or bed, in particular having a tri-fold adjustable foundation. Three segments of the adjustable foundation, including a mattress support surface with three deck support sections and a subframe with three longitudinal support sections, are foldable/rotatable around two opposing pivot axes such that the three segments can be positioned in a folded, overlapping configuration that is convenient for shipping/transportation, having substantially smaller maximum dimensions than the adjustable foundation in a flat, non-folded configuration. The folded adjustable foundation can be conveniently unfolded and locked into a flat, non-folded configuration suitable for use to support a mattress and a person sleeping/resting thereon.

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.

An electric bed includes a bed board unit, and an adjusting device mounted on a bottom of the bed board unit. The bed board unit includes a head board, a back board, a waist board, a hip board, a leg board and a foot board. The adjusting device includes a driving unit, a support unit, at least one track unit and at least one hinge unit. Thus, the waist board is pushed by the electric cylinder when the back board lies or is lifted, so that the waist board is operated independently and is lifted or lowered freely.
