Bed system for attachment to a hospital bed for turning a patient

A bed system for turning a patient comprising:

• a base frame;
• a first section and a second section having bed elements for supporting the patient, said first section and said second section being pivotally movable around an axis parallel with a length of the bed system;
• a first actuator and a second actuator connected to said first section and said second section thereby enabling movement of the sections, each of said first actuator and said second actuator being attached to the base frame;
• control means for moving the first section and the second section independently, whereby an angle formed between said first section and said second section is controlled, said first section and said second section being rotatable through activation of the first actuator and the second actuator;
• wherein the first section is attached to the base frame in a first pivot point, and the second section is attached to the base frame in a second pivot point enabling the sections to be rotatably moved, and wherein the first section is attached to the first actuator in a third pivot point, and the second section is attached to the second actuator in a fourth pivot point, wherein the third pivot point is located closer than the first pivot point to an edge of the first section facing the second section, and the fourth pivot point is located closer than the second pivot point to an edge of the second section facing the first section.
