Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a bed bottom having a plurality of transverse support sections including at least a foot rest section, an upper body section and at least one intermediate section. They are adjacent to each other in longitudinal direction of the bed to support a mattress thereon in an adjustable manner. The bed bottom is adjustable from a first position wherein all support sections are substantially in line to a second position in which at least one section is moved in vertical direction. At least one intermediate section is movable downwardly from the first position to the second position. Longitudinal edges of the bed bottom for supporting the mattress remain stationary during movement of the bed bottom between the first and second positions. An adjustable headboard at the head end of the bed is adjustable between a substantially vertical position and a position in which the headboard extends obliquely downwardly from the head end of the bed towards a mattress to be supported by the bed bottom, in order to provide a comfortable support in combination with the bed bottom.
