Described are bed systems including a docking structure defining a first recess and a second recess, a remote to dock into the first recess, and a light integrated into the second recess. The light can move between a docked configuration and an extended configuration. The light can extend out from the second recess and rotate when in the extended configuration. The second recess is aligned with and positioned above the first recess. The first recess has a same width as the second recess, and the first recess has a length substantially longer than the second recess. The remote is oblong and curved at opposite ends. A distal end of the light is oblong-shaped, and the light includes at least one button along a lateral side of the light for turning the light on and off.

Disclosed are bed systems with a foundation having first and second side rails opposite each other and a pocket integrated into an exterior side of at least the first side rail at a distance from a head section of a mattress that is less than a distance from a foot section of the mattress. The pocket can include an inner pocket smaller than the pocket and positioned inside the first pocket. The pocket can include a charging port housing and a charging port supported by the charging port housing. The charging port can be a USB and/or USB-C port. The first side rail can also include a wireless charger and transmitter (e.g., induction charger) integrated therein for providing induction charging to a user device placed inside the pocket. The wireless charger and transmitter can be integrated into a structure of the first side rail at a location opposite the pocket.

Mattress

A bed has a mattress with a mattress top, a mattress bottom, and a mattress perimeter. The mattress includes a mattress cover surrounding the mattress. The mattress cover includes a first stretch fabric around the mattress perimeter of the mattress. The first stretch fabric has a first predominant stretch direction that is stretchable in a direction parallel to the mattress top. A multidirectional stretch fabric is positioned on the mattress top.

Mattress covering

A bed system can have an adjustable foundation and a user interface having at least one adjustment bar. The user interface can be communicatively coupled to an actuation system of the adjustable foundation such that raising a foot portion of the at least one adjustment bar can signal the actuation system to raise a foot section of the adjustable foundation, raising a head portion of the adjustment bar can signal the actuation system to raise a head section of the adjustable foundation, lowering the foot portion of the adjustment bar can signal the actuation system to lower the foot section of the adjustable foundation, and lowering the head portion of the adjustment bar can signal the actuation system to lower the head section of the adjustable foundation.
