• a first leg having a top and a bottom, the top of the first leg attached to the first end of the horizontal rod;
• a second leg having a top and a bottom, the top of the second leg attached to the second end of the horizontal rod, the first leg and the second leg being parallel;
• the bottom of the first leg and the bottom of the second leg being pivotably attached at or below the bed frame via a pivot assembly, the pivot assembly located proximal to the headboard;
• the mosquito netting draped over the bed and attached to the horizontal rod via a first attachment means and the mosquito netting attached to a location behind the headboard via a second attachment means, the mosquito netting creating a protected space between the articulated frame assembly, the headboard, and the mattress for preventing mosquitos from gaining access to an individual on the bed;
• the articulated frame assembly operable in a deployed position and a retracted position, wherein in the deployed position the first leg and the second leg are angled away from the headboard to create the protected space, and in the retracted position the first leg and the second leg are angled toward the headboard, and wherein the first and second legs are configured to move to a vertical position between the deployed position and the retracted position.
