A lateral rotation apparatus may include a person support surface having a head segment and a torso segment. An adjustable leg may have a head support positioned below the head segment. The adjustable leg may have a torso support positioned below the torso segment. The head support may be adjustable to rotate the head segment. The torso support may be adjustable to rotate the torso segment. A linkage assembly may be coupled to the head support and the torso support. The linkage assembly may have a sliding link that is movable between an open position and a closed position. The sliding link may also be rotatable between a first rotational position and a second rotational position. An actuator is operable to move the sliding link.

A bedding system includes an adjustable base comprising a tambour. An air control unit is coupled to the base. The air control unit includes a left fan and a right fan. The fans are positioned under the tambour. A first air passage is connected to the left fan. A second air passage is connected to the right fan. A sealed bag is positioned on the base. The bag includes a spacer and coils positioned therein. The bag includes opposite top and bottom ends. The top and bottom ends are each being breathable. A duct that connects the bottom end to the first and second air passages. A breathable comfort layer is positioned on the bag. A mattress cover is positioned on the comfort layer. Kits and method of use are disclosed.

A head elevation apparatus configured to be positioned under a mattress may include a base panel and a top panel positioned on the base panel. The top panel may include a center panel hingedly coupled to the base panel. An upper flap may be hingedly coupled to the center panel. A lower flap may be hingedly coupled to the center panel.

A back rest assembly includes a base assembly mountable adjacent a resting surface and a back rest having a supported side pivotably supported by the base assembly and an unsupported side spaced laterally apart from the supported side along a lateral axis. When the base assembly is mounted, the back rest is positionable over the resting surface and selectively pivotable about the lateral axis for adjusting an angular position of the back rest relative to the resting surface.

This device relates to a pneumatically inflatable cushion, which is lightweight, portable, extremely durable, and aesthetically attractive. The device is an inflatable cushion designed to assist in raising and lowering people who are unable to move freely by themselves. It is designed to support, horizontally stabilize, and center a person sitting on the cushion. This device can be used in the bathtub while exposed to water, and on regular surfaces both indoors and outdoors. This device is also designed to provide lift and support on solid surfaces and on water surfaces. This device is also designed to assist in the raising and lowering of objects, both living and non-living. The height and width can be easily customized and adapted to the needs of the user. This device may be used individually or connected with multiple units to form a larger monolithic device capable of lifting larger and heavier loads.

A zero-gravity position wedge system includes an upper body wedge containing one or more inflatable bladders, a foot wedge, and a pump to inflate the bladders. A mat system includes a mat containing one or more inflatable bladders and a pump to inflate the bladders. The mat is placed on a foam wedge or a zero-gravity position chair. A zero-gravity position chair includes a chair with a reclined upper body support and a raised knee portion; a pair of armrests with a cuff; at least one inflatable bladder in the upper body support; and a pump to inflate the bladder. The cuff activates an acupressure point.

A system can include a zipper that connects a mattress to a bed foundation. For example, the zipper can extend from a head end to a foot end of an adjustable foundation. For another example, a zipper can connect to a mattress along a seam of the mattress and/or to a foundation along a seam of a foundation. For another example, a first zipper can connect the mattress core to a second zipper and the second zipper can connect a foundation to the first zipper. For another example, first and second zippers can be substantially vertically aligned.

The present invention discloses a multifunctional motion simulation bed which has multiple segments and simulates preprogrammed motions. The segments are articulately connected to form a motion platform. in one embodiment, the segments are disposed above a base. Actuators are mounted on the base and pivotally coupled with the base and the segments. A microprocessor drives the actuators individually and causes the motion platform to simulate motions. In another embodiment, the segments are disposed above a frame which is arranged above a base. One segment is fixed on the frame. Some actuators are pivotally coupled with the frame and some of the segments. Other actuators are pivotally coupled with the frame and the base, A microprocessor drives the actuators individually and causes the frame and motion platform to simulate motions.

A mattress 100 includes a movable part 1 and a mattress body 2 including a first mattress part 21 disposed above the movable part 1, and a second mattress part 22 provided separately from the first mattress part 21 and disposed to surround the first mattress part in a plan view. The first mattress part 21 is configured to rotate upward about the predetermined rotation axis by the movable part 1.
