    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method of mounting an inflatable headboard assembly to a horizontal plane (e.g., a bed) without using a fixed mechanical fastening. The headboard assembly may assume various shapes, sizes, and/or styles while affording easy assembly and storage. The inflatable headboard assembly does not require permanent modification to its surrounding area. Rather, the inflatable headboard assembly is simply inflated to various heights that conform to the existing dimensions of the surrounding environment. The inflatable headboard assembly can be mounted to various locations of a bed without requiring additional equipment, and deflated for compact storage. The inflatable headboard assembly may include an inflatable footboard counterpart similar to the inflatable headboard assembly but smaller in scale. In addition, the inflatable headboard assembly may include lights for illuminating portions of the headboard, and/or visual markers for receiving augmented reality overlay.

    Abstract: A rotating and articulating bed has a fixed bed frame, a rotation assembly mounted on the fixed bed frame, a pivot assembly mounted on the rotation assembly and an articulating bed frame mounted on the pivot assembly. The articulating bed frame contains a plurality of pivotally connected distinct portions. The rotation assembly rotates the pivot assembly and the articulating bed frame with respect to the fixed bed frame on a plurality of discrete wheel bearings around a vertical axis passing through the rotating and articulating bed. The articulating bed frame articulates the distinct portions and the pivot assembly tilts the articulating bed frame with respect to a horizontal plane that is perpendicular to the vertical axis independent of rotation by the rotation assembly and articulation by the articulating bed frame.
