ABSTRACT:
A device for converting a flat bed into an adjustable bed. The system (10) has a base (20) which mounts on the bed's box-springs (14) and an articulating platform (30) sandwiched between the box-springs (14) and the mattress head section (18A). The articulating platform (30) pivots about the pivoting end (28) of base (20) by inflating bellows (40). The controls (42, 43, 44) provide for adjustable firmness, degree and speed of pivoting, and delay for the start of the deflating of bellows (40) for lowering articulating platform (30).
