SNORE DETECTION AND RESPONSE FOR ADJUSTABLE BED SYSTEMS

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for detecting snore and automatically adjusting a bed system to a position intended to mitigate the snore. The bed system can include a mattress, an adjustable foundation, and a controller having a processor. The processor can be configured to generate, in response to sensing snoring from a user of the bed system, instructions for tilting the adjustable foundation to a predetermined position such that an angle between a head portion of the adjustable foundation and the ground is greater than an angle between a foot portion of the adjustable foundation and the ground. The ground can be a horizontal plane. The predetermined position can be a position intended to mitigate snore.
