Abstract

A bed with air adjustable elevation components having a generally rectangular foundation, a mattress having a plurality of sections, and an air chamber under each section of the mattress that is to be raised. The contour and shape of the mattress is controlled by inflating and deflating each air chamber to elevate and incline the section of the mattress. The mattress is formed of connecting sections including a back section and a buttock section adjacent the back section. Adjacent the buttock section is an upper leg section and adjacent the upper leg section is lower leg section. The sides of the upper leg section and the lower leg section abutting each other are formed at an angle such that when the leg sections of the mattress are in a non-elevated position a V-shaped cut out area is formed between the two sections. The air chambers are connected to a pump and a controller is provided to easily inflate and deflate the chambers, together or separately, with compressed air.
