Deformable supporting element and reclining system

Bed system comprising a number of deformable support elements (1), wherein the support elements (1) are arranged next to one another and form the slatted frame of the bed system and wherein there are two lateral guide rails (8) onto which an edge support (4) of the support element (1) can each be fastened, wherein each deformable support element (1) comprises:

• an elongated support plate (2) with a flexurally rigid middle portion (2a) and two flexible portions (2b) located each sideways to the flexurally rigid middle portion (2a), wherein the support plate (2) has an upper side and a lower side, two lateral sides and two ends;
• two edge supports (4);
• flexible edge elements (3), of which respectively one edge element (3) is connected with one end of the support plate (2), said flexible edge elements (3) allowing a directed movement of the flexible portions (2b) of the support plate (2) through loading upwards and inwards to the middle portions (2a) of the support plate (2) out of an unloaded configuration, in which the edge elements (3) each rest on the edge supports (4);
• and
• one or several actuators (7) that for the purpose of deforming the support plate (2) is arranged between the edge elements (3) and beneath the support plate (2).
