Abstract: A bed frame having flexible slats which are adjustable in a horizontal plane and having at least one bearing element for supporting one end of at least one flexible slat on a longitudinal beam of the bed frame is provided. The bearing element is movable over an arbitrary displacement path along the longitudinal beam. The bearing element includes a housing which accommodates the respective end of the flexible slat and in which at least one spring-loaded detent device, which is actuatable by hand, is situated and which engages with associated receiving profiles in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal beam and is lockable at that location.

Abstract: A slatted base having a frame and a measuring device for detecting the deformation of a lying surface under the load of a person lying thereon, wherein the deformation is carried out by detecting the vertical deflection of slats, which are held on both sides in a slatted base with their free ends in a mounting body, on which the displaceable end of a vertically oriented lifting drive engages, which is supported with respect to a bottom-side base frame, wherein the mutual horizontal distances between the slats is adjustable and fixable.

Abstract: A mattress is provided with a plurality of inflatable cushion elements each having two cushion chambers. Air or filling pressure medium can be regulated by a device with a pump. The pump is coupled to a control in which filling pressure values and/or arithmetical operations are programmed. The pump is also provided with sensors. This enables the filling pressure to be increased or reduced on the basis of the weight of a lying person loading the cushion elements until a predetermined value corresponding to a specific degree of hardness or comfort for lying is attained. Simple pressure on a key on a remote control is therefore sufficient to bring about completely automatic adaptation to the lying person, regardless of whether he or she weighs 40 or 150 kg. This intelligent mattress offers an absolute maximum of individual comfort for lying with a minimum of effort for operation.
