Abstract

A bed system can have an adjustable foundation and a user interface having at least one adjustment bar. The user interface can be communicatively coupled to an actuation system of the adjustable foundation such that raising a foot portion of the at least one adjustment bar can signal the actuation system to raise a foot section of the adjustable foundation, raising a head portion of the adjustment bar can signal the actuation system to raise a head section of the adjustable foundation, lowering the foot portion of the adjustment bar can signal the actuation system to lower the foot section of the adjustable foundation, and lowering the head portion of the adjustment bar can signal the actuation system to lower the head section of the adjustable foundation.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 20 . (canceled) 
     
     
         21 . A bed system comprising:
 an adjustable foundation comprising:
 a head section; 
 a foot section; and 
 an actuation system connected to the head section and the foot section; and 
   a mattress defining a mattress top and first and second mattress sides, the mattress comprising:
 a mattress cover; and 
 a foundation user interface mounted to the mattress cover at the first mattress side, wherein the foundation user interface is configured to control the adjustable foundation. 
   
     
     
         22 . The bed system of  claim 21 , wherein the foundation user interface is configured to send a signal to raise the adjustable foundation. 
     
     
         23 . The bed system of  claim 22 , wherein the foundation user interface is configured to move the adjustable foundation to a preset position. 
     
     
         24 . The bed system of  claim 21 , wherein the foundation user interface comprises a wire extending from the foundation user interface to communicatively couple to the adjustable foundation. 
     
     
         25 . The bed system of  claim 21 , wherein the user interface is spaced up a side of the mattress cover so as to be spaced above a top of the adjustable foundation. 
     
     
         26 . The bed system of  claim 21 , wherein the foundation user interface is sewn to the mattress cover at a location configured to be touched by a user. 
     
     
         27 . The bed system of  claim 21 , and further comprising:
 a fabric pocket configured to retain the foundation user interface to the mattress cover.   
     
     
         28 . The bed system of  claim 21 , wherein the foundation user interface comprises a button. 
     
     
         29 . The bed system of  claim 21 , wherein the foundation user interface is positioned inside of the mattress cover. 
     
     
         30 . The bed system of  claim 21 , and further comprising:
 a small piece of fabric sewn to the mattress cover at the user interface.   
     
     
         31 . The bed system of  claim 21 , wherein the foundation user interface comprises a magnet. 
     
     
         32 . A mattress cover comprising:
 a fabric comprising a fabric top, a first fabric side, and a second fabric side;   a user interface mounted to the first fabric side, wherein the user interface is configured to send a signal to one or more controllable systems to control the one or more controllable systems.   
     
     
         33 . The mattress cover of  claim 32 , wherein the one or more controllable systems comprises an adjustable foundation and wherein the user interface is configured to send a signal to raise the adjustable foundation. 
     
     
         34 . A bed system comprising:
 the mattress cover of claim  33 ;   a mattress sized to be positioned inside the mattress cover; and   the adjustable foundation, wherein the user interface is configured to move the adjustable foundation to a preset position.   
     
     
         35 . The mattress cover of  claim 32 , wherein the one or more controllable systems comprises an alarm system and wherein the user interface is configured to send a signal to control the alarm system. 
     
     
         36 . The mattress cover of  claim 32 , wherein the user interface is configured to reset the one or more controllable systems. 
     
     
         37 . The mattress cover of  claim 32 , wherein the user interface is sewn to the first fabric side at a location configured to be touched by a user. 
     
     
         38 . The mattress cover of  claim 32 , and further comprising:
 a fabric pocket configured to retain the user interface to the mattress cover.   
     
     
         39 . The mattress cover of  claim 32 , and further comprising:
 a small piece of fabric sewn to the first fabric side at the user interface.   
     
     
         40 . The mattress cover of  claim 32 , wherein the user interface comprises a magnet.
