Bed with integrated components and features

A foundation for a bed system, the foundation comprising:

• a foundation structure having a head, a foot, a first side, and a second side, wherein the foundation structure comprises:
• a frame having a plurality of interconnected supports;
• a plurality of rails connected to the frame, wherein the rails are positioned at a perimeter of the foundation to substantially surround an interior of the foundation structure, wherein the plurality of rails includes at least a foot rail;
• a plurality of deck panels hingedly connected at joints between adjacent deck panels, wherein the plurality of deck panels comprises at least a head panel at the head of the foundation structure and a foot panel at the foot of the foundation structure;
• an articulation mechanism operably connected to the frame and to the plurality of deck panels;
• and
• an electronics support structure positioned within the foundation structure at the foot of the foundation structure under the foot panel;
• an air pump configured for supplying air to and inflating at least one mattress air chamber, wherein the air pump is housed within the interior of the foundation structure proximate the foot of the foundation structure so as to be substantially concealed by the rails from the first side, from the second side, and from the foot;
• a control box housed within the interior of the foundation structure so as to be substantially concealed by the rails from the first side, from the second side, and from the foot;
• a central power hub electrically connected to and configured to deliver electrical power to each of the air pump, the control box, and one or more additional electrical components, wherein the central power hub is housed within the interior of the foundation structure so as to be substantially concealed by the rails from the first side, from the second side, and from the foot,
• wherein one or more of the air pump, the control box, and the central power hub is supported by the electronics support structure at the foot of the foundation structure under the foot panel, and
• wherein, when the foot panel is raised, the one or more of the air pump, the control box, and the central power hub that is supported by the electronics support structure at the foot of the foundation structure can be accessed by a user from the foot of the foundation structure, can be disconnected by the user from one or more cables at one or more connectors while leaving the one or more cables in the foundation, and can be raised out of the interior of the foundation structure to be and removed by the user from the foundation structure through a space between the foot panel and the foot rail;
• and
• a plurality of adjustable legs connected to the frame at positions spaced inward of the perimeter of the foundation, wherein the frame comprises first and second supports that are substantially parallel and third and fourth supports that are substantially parallel, wherein the first and second supports are substantially perpendicular to the third and fourth supports with the adjustable legs connected to the frame at four intersections between the first, second, third, and fourth supports, wherein the rails are connected at distal ends of the supports at locations spaced from the four intersections.

• a plurality of adjustable legs connected to the frame at positions spaced inward of the perimeter of the foundation;
• and
• a plurality of aesthetic legs connected at the perimeter of the foundation, wherein the foundation is configurable such that a majority of the load of the foundation can be supported by the adjustable legs such that less or no load need be supported by the aesthetic legs,
• wherein the frame comprises first and second supports that are substantially parallel and third and fourth supports that are substantially parallel, wherein the first and second supports are substantially perpendicular to the third and fourth supports with the adjustable legs connected to the frame at four intersections between the first, second, third, and fourth supports, wherein the rails are connected at distal ends of the supports at locations spaced from the four intersections.
