  • Patent number: 9629473
    Abstract: A leg assembly includes a first leg member and second leg member each having side-to-side width that is greater at the top end than the bottom end and a tapered outer surface. The second leg member has top-to-bottom length different than the top-to-bottom length of the first leg member. The leg members are adapted to connect individually or in combination to a support system such that at least three leg heights are selectably provided. The side-to-side width of the top end of the second leg member is approximately equal to the side-to-side width of the bottom end of the first leg member such that when the top end of the second leg members is connected to the bottom end of the first leg member, the combined leg members have a generally continuously tapered outer surface.

  • Patent number: 9578975
    Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to an adjustable bed, in particular incorporating a friction mattress mount. In various embodiments, an adjustable bed foundation can include friction-enhancing materials mounted on a deck support surface. The friction-enhancing materials maintain the mattress in a desired position and alignment with respect to the adjustable bed foundation, in particular when adjustable bed foundation is adjusted between various articulated positions (e.g., flat, inclined, and/or declined).

  • Patent number: 9474384
    Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a mattress thermal management system, for example a mattress cooling and/or heating system and in particular a suction- and/or discharge-based cooling and/or heating system. Deck-mounted fans beneath a mattress operate in various embodiments to induce a uniform suction flow, a uniform discharge flow, and/or a combined suction/discharge (circulating) flow that enhances the cooling and/or heating rate of the mattress. The mattress thermal management system can be incorporated into a conventional mattress/bed system or into an adjustable bed system.

  • Publication number: 20160206489
    Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to an adjustable bed, in particular incorporating a magnetic mattress mount. In various embodiments, an adjustable bed foundation and a mattress of an adjustable bed each can include magnetic materials placed in complementary positions relative to each other. The magnetic materials maintain the mattress in a desired position and alignment with respect to the adjustable bed foundation, in particular when adjustable bed foundation is adjusted between various articulated positions (e.g., flat, inclined, and/or declined).
