ABSTRACT:
An adjustable bed having an upper frame mounted to translate with respect to a lower frame. A center support is connected to the upper frame and has a head support pivotally connected to one end thereof. A thigh support is pivotally connected to the other end of the center support and a foot support is connected to the other end of the thigh support. First and second motors are operatively connected between the upper frame and the head and thigh supports to pivot the head and thigh supports with respect to the center support. The upper frame is linked to the lower frame so that as the head support is pivoted up, the upper frame is translated toward the head end of the bed, thereby maintaining the head support at a relatively fixed position with respect to appliances and furniture adjacent the head end of the bed.
