A foundation for a bed system can include an actuator, a deck mechanism operably related to the actuator so as to be actuated between raised and lowered positions in response to actuation by the actuator, and a controller operably connected to the actuator and configured to drive the actuator to actuate the deck mechanism between a lower position and an upper position. The deck mechanism can be configured to move to a service position that is further than the upper position. The deck mechanism can expose and permit access to a serviceable component when the deck mechanism is in the service position. A method of using a foundation having a service position is also described.

A foundation for a bed system can include a foundation structure having a head, a foot, a first side, and a second side. An air pump configured for supplying air to and inflating at least one mattress air chamber can be housed within the foundation structure proximate the foot of the foundation structure. A control box and a central power hub can be housed within the foundation structure. The central power hub can be electrically connected to and configured to deliver electrical power to each of the air pump, the control box, and one or more additional electrical components. The foundation can optionally integrate other components into the foundation.

An expandable locker shelf is disclosed that can be placed between two substantially vertical members, such as in a locker. The expandable shelf includes a first section having a rack, a second section, and a lever arm having a pinion. The first and second sections are aligned to engage the pinion with the rack. The lever arm enables the user to provide sufficient torque on the pinion to bias the first and second sections between the two substantially vertical members. The expandable locker shelf is locked between the two substantially vertical walls by engaging the lever arm with a retaining post.
