Biometric information regarding a user is obtained. A bed frame configuration is determined based on the biometric information and the bed frame is reconfigured based on the determined bed frame configuration and a detection of an absence of a sleep event that benefits from mitigation. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for configuring a bed frame, the method comprising: obtaining biometric information corresponding to a user; determining a bed frame configuration based on the biometric information; and reconfiguring the bed frame based on the determined bed frame configuration and a detection of an absence of a sleep event that benefits from mitigation. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving status information including an indication of a current configuration of the bed frame and wherein the determining the bed frame reconfiguration is based on the indication of the current configuration. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising obtaining a selection of a first configuration of the bed frame as a neutral configuration. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, further comprising obtaining a selection of a second configuration of the bed frame as a mitigation configuration. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the reconfiguring the bedframe is performed in accordance with a user-defined maximum mitigation configuration. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising adjusting the bed frame from a mitigation configuration toward a neutral mitigation configuration in response to exceeding a time limit for a given configuration of the bed frame. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the reconfiguring the bed frame based on the determined bed frame configuration is performed by incrementally adjusting the bed frame. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein adjustments to the bed frame are limited to a user-specified maximum rate of change. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the determining the bed frame configuration is performed by analyzing the biometric information based on one or more mitigation rules. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the one or more mitigation rules are based on a history of the biometric information. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the one or more mitigation rules are based on a present configuration of the bed frame in relation to a neutral configuration. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the one or more mitigation rules are based on a history of adjustments to the configuration of the bed frame. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the configuring of the bed frame maintains a current configuration in response to an adjustment of the bed frame exceeding a predefined maximum rate. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising adjusting the bed frame from a mitigation configuration toward a neutral mitigation configuration in response to exceeding a time limit for a maximum mitigation configuration of the bed frame. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein the maximum mitigation configuration is one of a plurality of maximum mitigation configurations, wherein each maximum mitigation configuration corresponds to one or more types of sleep events and establishes a limit on an amount of mitigation that is permitted to be applied. ### Claim 16 An adjustable bed frame system comprising: a bed frame; a bed frame adjuster configured to mechanically configure the bed frame; and a bed frame controller configured to control, by sending control signals to the bedframe adjuster, a reconfiguration of the bed frame based on a detection of an absence of a sleep event that benefits from mitigation. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The adjustable bed frame system of claim 16, wherein the bed frame controller is configured to change the configuration of the bed frame by incrementally adjusting the bed frame. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The adjustable bed frame system of claim 16, wherein the bed frame controller is further configured to analyze biometric information based on one or more mitigation rules. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The adjustable bed frame system of claim 16, wherein the bed frame adjuster comprises one or more pneumatic pistons, each pneumatic piston coupled to a different portion of the bed frame and configured to independently configure the corresponding portion of the bed frame. ### Claim 20 A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying instructions that, when executed by a processor perform operations comprising: obtaining biometric information corresponding to a user; determining a bed frame configuration based on the biometric information; and reconfiguring the bed frame based on the determined bed frame configuration and a detection of an absence of a sleep event that benefits from mitigation.
