Hardware for securing a headboard or footboard to a bed frame includes a socket adapted to be secured to the bed frame, a configured member adjustably disposed within the socket and supporting a mounting plate. The configured member includes an offset end to which the mounting plate is secured. The configured member is provided in mirror image versions permitting a headboard to be positioned at various heights above or at the floor. Axial adjustment of the configured member in the socket adapts the hardware to an adjustable, mechanical bed having multiple pivotally interconnected sections. A swing-apart dual king bracket assembly includes a first, generally U-shaped hinge plate having a base attachable to the mounting bracket of the headboard assembly. A second hinge plate is connected to the first hinge plate by a pivot pin. The second hinge plate may be secured to a headboard or to another bracket assembly mounted on an adjacent bed frame. The dual king bracket assembly and the headboard mounting assembly permit a pair of beds to be pivotally interconnected or pivotally joined to a common headboard. A latch is securable to the bed frames to hold them together in normal use.

Headboard mounting hardware

An adjustable bed including a multi-section mattress frame mounted on a base frame. The mattress frame includes a head section and a lower section. The lower section may include an intermediate or seat section and a leg section. A mattress support is joined to the mattress frame. The mattress support includes a plurality of wire grids joined to the sections. Each grid includes a plurality of tandemly arranged, transversely extending, generally rectangular closed loops. End portions of the loops are axially aligned and joined to lateral or side portions of the mattress frame. A plurality of parallel, longitudinally or axially extending support wires are positioned on the loops. The support wires extend generally parallel to the lateral portions or sides of the mattress frame. Ends of the support wires may be downturned and joined to an end wire.
