ABSTRACT:
A slatted bed system comprising an articulating frame, a power unit, concave slats, a sculptured mattress and free standing support means. The articulating frame is in four sections to facilitate the independent raising of the head end and the portion under an individual's knee by two independently operable linear actuators. The slats are filament wound fiberglass epoxy of a downwardly concave shape and are sized in thickness and width to provide a predetermined spring rate. The number of slats, slat spacing and spring rate of each slat may be tailored for the body weight distribution of the individual for whom the bed is designed, as may the cross-sectional dimensions of the slats. The mattress is molded from high resiliency foam and is sculptured at the frame pivot points. While the mattress spans the slats, the feel, comfort and body support are provided by the slat system. A wooden enclosure provides a finished look and optional additional support for the central power unit, or two independent power units if incorporated, e.g., in a king size bed.
