Boyd Specialty Sleep Awarded Patent for Adjustable Base

St. Louis-based Boyd Specialty Sleep has been awarded a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its Easy Adjust manually adjustable bed base. 

Boyd developed the non-powered design to provide consumers with the benefits of adjustable comfort for less than the average retail price of electric versions. 

“Our objective was to attract the 25- to 45-year-old market that wants a queen- or king-size bed that’s adjustable, but reasonably priced,” said Denny Boyd, president of Boyd Specialty Sleep. “This non-powered base, which allows for 15 setting at the head end, ensures that a much broader pool of mattress shoppers can afford the many benefits offered by adjustable sleep.” 

The Easy Adjust bed base holds up to 2,500 pounds and includes features to prevent finger-pinching and mattress slippage. The base is the industry’s first such product that is available in a true king size, according to Boyd, made possible with simple connectors on the panel grid under the mattresses.

“One of my goals is to impact the way many retailers market and sell adjustable beds, which is to price the mattress and base together,” Boyd said. “Offering the customer the ability to purchase a mattress that can be paired with several different support options empowers the retailer to sell the comfort of the mattress with a variety of support alternatives and functions.” 

The Easy Adjust’s different support options include a traditional foundation, a stationery platform, an adjustable power base or a manually operated version. The company has earned more than 30 patents for its innovations and is strategically focused on the health and safety of consumers and the environmental impact of its products and processes. 

“The end result is that the shopper not only has more sleep options to choose from, but also more ways by which to perceive value,” Boyd said.
