A frame for an adjustable has a head section with two longitudinal frame rails separated by at least two lateral members extending between the two longitudinal frame rails, and two sleeves each having a cavity with one of the two sleeves on each of the two longitudinal frame rails. The frame has a foot section having two longitudinal frame rails separated by at least two lateral members extending between the two longitudinal frame rails, and two sleeves each having a cavity with one of the two sleeves on each of the two longitudinal frame rails, and an inner tube with a nose for each of the two sleeves and for moving between a first position retracted in the cavity of the sleeve and a second position extending from the cavity of the sleeve.

A smart adjustable bed system combines an adjustable bed, a smart hub, a server, and smart devices to provide a system for controlling the raising and lowering of the adjustable bed. The smart hub acts as a gateway interconnecting the smart adjustable bed and a remote server capable of powerful voice recognition and artificial intelligence at a shared price. The system includes methods of using the system to allow an additional smart device such as a tablet computer to act as a remote control for the smart adjustable bed. The system further enables voice controls to be used to raise and lower the adjustable bed. Lastly, the voice recognition of the smart hub can be used to detect snoring and to send a signal to the adjustable bed to raise the bed to a position until the user reaches a position where snoring stops.

An adjustable foundation and process includes a mattress support surface including a head and back section hingedly connected to an intermediate section at one end and a leg and foot section hingedly connected to the intermediate section at another end, wherein the intermediate section includes a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is hingedly connected to the head and back section and the second portion is hingedly connected to the leg and foot section. The intermediate or seat section is configured to increase in length upon articulation of the head and back section and/or the leg and foot section from a flat position or an increase in inclination of any section. Likewise, the intermediate or seat section is configured to decrease in length upon articulation of the head and back section and/or the leg and foot section from an inclined position to a flat position or a decrease in length upon declination of any section. By doing so, a prone user does not have to shift his position on the mattress in order to accommodate the inclination or declination.

A bed system includes microclimate control capabilities for providing quality sleep experience. The bed system can include a microclimate control subsystem configured to supply conditioned air (e.g., heated or cooled air) to a mattress, or draw ambient air from the mattress, to achieve a desired temperature at the top of the mattress. Utilizing supply of conditioned air to provide air at desired temperature to the mattress system, or utilizing air suction to drain heat away from the mattress system, can provide precise microclimate control at the mattress, thereby permitting conformable sleep.

An articulating bed incorporates a frame having side frame members with a first fixed channel extending laterally between the frame side members and a second fixed channel extending laterally between the frame side members. A first rotatable channel open toward a head of the bed is engaged to the first fixed channel with first hinges. An upper body support panel is removably engaged in the first rotatable channel and an upper body panel support frame extends from the first rotatable channel coplanar with a lower flange to support the upper body panel. A second rotatable channel open toward the foot of the bed is engaged to the second fixed channel with second hinges. A thigh support panel is removably engaged in the second rotatable channel and a thigh panel support frame extends from the rotatable channel coplanar with a lower flange of the second rotatable channel to support the thigh panel. A seat panel is removably engaged between the first fixed channel and second fixed channel.

An electric folding apparatus includes a lower body unit, a back unit, a waist unit, a back actuator, and a waist actuator. The back unit is rotatably connected with the lower back unit. The waist unit is rotatably connected with the back unit. The back unit is swung with the waist unit relative to the lower back unit by the back actuator when a first push rod moves into or out of a first cylinder. The waist unit is swung relative to the back unit by the waist actuator when the second push rod moves into or out of the second cylinder. Accordingly, users can adjust a protruding extent of the waist unit relative to the back unit according to the personal demands and adjust the waist unit to be level with a top of the back unit easily when they don't want to use the waist supporting function.

The invention relates to a control device (9) for at least one adjusting drive (7, 8) which is to be associated with a piece of furniture (1) and which is designed to control the at least one adjusting drive (7, 8) based on control data (20) captured by a wireless transmission path (19) of the operating unit (10). Said control device is characterized by an emitter interface (21) which is designed to transmit data (22) to the operating unit (10) by means of a wireless transmission path (19). The invention further relates to an operating unit (10) comprising a receiver interface (23) which is designed to capture data (22) from the control device (9) by means of a wireless transmission path (19), in addition to a system (18) consisting of a control device (9) and an operating unit (10) and a piece of furniture (1) equipped with said system (13).

An operating part for a furniture control system is proposed, having a power supply and at least one electrical drive unit, wherein the operating part comprises a power driver, a detector and an operating field, which are integrated into a common housing. The operating field has at least one operating element, the actuation of which is signaled to the power driver. The power driver is designed to generate a motor voltage for the drive unit based on a low voltage supplied by the power supply and a signaled actuation of the operating element. The detector is coupled to the power driver and is designed to detect a threshold position of the drive unit on the basis of an electrical signal transmitted by the drive unit, and to terminate the generation of the motor voltage if a threshold position is detected.

A support apparatus adjustable by an electric motor for supporting padding of a seat and/or a reclining furniture, in particular a mattress of a bed, has a base body with an outer frame. Outer frame is configured and set up for resting on a support surface and an inner frame having at least two support parts adjustable relative to one another. Support apparatus has an electromotive drive apparatus with at least one adjustment element in drive connection with at least one electric motor, which for adjusting at least one support part is in drive connection with the electric motor. The outer frame is formed at least in sections by a C-shaped profiled rail. The C-shaped profiled rail forms a linear guide. The liner guide guides the adjustment element in the direction of the profile in a linearly displaceable manner.

A motorized bed frame includes a support assembly having a torso section and a leg section. An adjustable assembly having a torso section and a leg section is positioned on the support assembly and pivotally coupled thereto. An actuating assembly is coupled to the support assembly and the adjustable assembly for articulating the torso section and leg section of the adjustable assembly relative to the support assembly when the bed frame is in an open configuration. Multiple bed frames could be coupled together side-by-side for larger mattress supports, and adjacent torso sections and leg sections of the adjustable assembly could be controlled simultaneously. The bed frame is foldable to a compact configuration without disassembly of parts.
