Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to an adjustable bed apparatus, in particular an adjustable bed foundation. The adjustable foundation can include a rail system such as a detachable rail system, which can be configured to conceal mechanical and support substructure beneath the mattress support surface of the adjustable bed. In some embodiments, the rail system includes a mounting element and a corresponding rail or board mounted to the adjustable foundation, such as to the subframe of the adjustable foundation. The adjustable foundation can include independently adjustable lumbar and neck support structures on an adjustable back/head section of the adjustable bed foundation. In some embodiments, the lumbar and neck support structures include inflatable air bladder structures.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to an adjustable bed, in particular incorporating improved power management systems. In various embodiments, an adjustable bed can include a wirelessly chargeable remote control unit, one or more pulse width modulator units to provide DC power at a variety of voltages appropriate for varied peripheral electrical components of the bed, and/or a battery backup unit providing power to the bed in addition to a mains power input. The various power management systems can reduce wire clutter for peripheral electrical components, permit a wider range of peripheral electrical components to be driven by a single power supply, provide for adjustable bed operation in the absence of mains power supply, and reduce power consumption in different operation modes.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to an adjustable foundation or bed, in particular having a dual-tilt adjustable foundation. Upper and lower segments of the adjustable foundation subframe are rotatable relative to each other, thus allowing the upper portion of the subframe to tilt and assume an inclined, flat/horizontal, or declined position relative to the lower portion of the subframe. An articulating mattress support surface above the subframe can move independently from the tilting subframe.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a method for forming foamed shoe insoles as well as related shoe and shoe component articles. A foamed polymer having an open-cell foam interior structure and a continuous outer layer or skin can be formed conveniently such as by injection molding. The foamed polymer has a shape corresponding to two opposing shoe insole portions such that it can be cut or otherwise separated into two corresponding complementary foamed shoe insoles. The resulting open-cell foam interior structure and a continuous outer layer of the foamed shoe insoles can provide enhance spring or bounce effect when the insoles are incorporated into a shoe or sole component thereof.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns an adjustable bed facility including a system for executing a computer-based safety-action during a motor-actuated adjustable bed position adjustment, comprising an adjustable bed facility comprising a computer-based controller, an actuator, and a sensor, the computer-based controller providing control of adjustable bed position adjustments, the actuator configured to adjust a height of the adjustable bed facility upon receiving a height-adjustment command from the computer-based controller, and the sensor for determining an actuator action parameter measured value of the actuator, the computer-based controller in communicative connection with the sensor to monitor and compare the motor action parameter measured value to an actuator action parameter normal operation value range, and when the controller determines the monitored motor action parameter measured value is outside the range of the actuator action parameter normal operation value range the controller sends a safety-ac

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to an adjustable foundation or bed, in particular having a tri-fold adjustable foundation. Three segments of the adjustable foundation, including a mattress support surface with three deck support sections and a subframe with three longitudinal support sections, are foldable/rotatable around two opposing pivot axes such that the three segments can be positioned in a folded, overlapping configuration that is convenient for shipping/transportation, having substantially smaller maximum dimensions than the adjustable foundation in a flat, non-folded configuration. The folded adjustable foundation can be conveniently unfolded and locked into a flat, non-folded configuration suitable for use to support a mattress and a person sleeping/resting thereon.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an adjustable bed and foundation thereof, in particular incorporating springs or other support elements into the adjustable bed foundation or frame. The adjustable bed can include one or more foundation spring support sections mounted on or in a mattress support surface of the bed foundation. Spring support sections having different firmness levels in different mattress support sections can provide a varying support level to a user of the adjustable bed foundation combined with a mattress thereon. Spring support sections that are discrete from each other can permit articulation of the corresponding mattress support surface sections without creating bending, elongation, and/or compression stresses which might otherwise cause uneven support from or damage to a continuous spring support element spanning multiple mattress support surface sections.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to an adjustable bed foundation. The adjustable foundation includes lateral and/or longitudinal support members as part of an adjustable base frame positioned below a mattress support. The lateral and longitudinal support members, along with a fixed base frame portion of the foundation are preferably formed from a lightweight material such as wood. The lateral and longitudinal support members provide sufficient vertical support structure to accommodate a mattress and bed occupants on the adjustable platform, as well as electrical and mechanical components of the adjustable foundation below a mattress support deck.

Abstract: An aspect of the present invention relates to a method and system of providing a bed using a plurality of interchangeable adjustable firmness springs to provide localized comfort and support to the user of the bed. The plurality of interchangeable springs may have a plurality of different firmnesses to provide customizable local comfort to a user. The foam springs are color coded based on the firmness associated with the foam spring. The foam springs have markings and/or health devices attached to an end of the foam spring.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to an adjustable bed apparatus, in particular an adjustable bed foundation. The adjustable foundation includes independently adjustable lumbar and/or neck support structures on an adjustable back/head section of the adjustable bed foundation. In some embodiments, the lumbar and neck support structures include inflatable air bladder structures. In other embodiments, the lumbar and neck support structures include mechanically actuatable subsections of the adjustable back/head section of the adjustable bed foundation.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a piece of furniture, particularly an adjustable bed, having a speaker system. The bed includes a base having an outer peripheral edge. At least one speaker is mounted to the base of the piece of furniture, typically to the legs. The at least one speaker is mounted to face outwards from a center portion of the bed. The at least one speaker is mounted inboard of the outer peripheral edge of the base of the bed so as to conceal the speakers from a top view. The speaker system may also be used with various other pieces of furniture such as couches, chairs, tables, etc. A subwoofer may also be mounted to the base of the bed.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides improved mattress assemblies, and related methods of use. More particularly, the present disclosure provides advantageous mattress assemblies having a plurality of foam springs (e.g., interchangeable foam springs having different firmness levels) configured to provide customizable comfort and support to a user. The foam springs can be marked/labeled (e.g., color coded; include a firmness identifier, etc.) based on the firmness level associated with each foam spring. The mattress assemblies include foam springs disposed within a portion of the mattress assembly to provide customizable support and comfort to a user. For example, a plurality of individual foam springs with different individual firmness levels can be disposed or positioned within the mattress assembly in various foam spring patterns (e.g., user-selected patterns), as desired.
