RV Adjustable Bed:  Two independently operated adjustable beds.

Custom Adjustable Bed– Doppleflex MX2 All-Slat adjustable bed with two motors for each bed

Platform is 70 X 80 inches (WIDTH IS WITHIN PLATFORM GUARD RAILS). Air gap of 1.5 inch exists from side of platform to side of both table tops. Reduced the length by providing 2 inch for the thickness of the headboard as it jutted out onto the platform length and would prevent the adjustable bed (12 inches thick) from being placed under the headboard. Net Platform footprint 70 X 78 inch.

Two custom half King adjustable beds each 34.5″ x 78″. To lift platform for storage access, cut back external frame 30 inches. (Platform hinge location is 30 inches from headboard). Cut 5 inches from foot of external frame so that the motor location will not interfere with the hinge. Add extension 3-4 inches to head section to offset 5 inch cut at foot section. This platform (with the adjustable beds and mattresses) can then be raised normally to access the storage area.

One adjustable bed with Normal adjustability (head, back and knee can be raised separately). Second one custom modified so the head and back raise together in one plane “Straight-back option”. This is preferred by customers who sleep on their back and/or experience GERD or back problems that require a flat back suspension. The suspension of both beds can be adjusted for different firmness configurations by changing the settings of the double slats of the adjustable bed suspension. In this case, we added 4 extra double slats to the standard 6 double slats for a total of 10 double slats for both beds which can be adjusted for varying degrees of firmness.

Mattress Model:

Dreamwave 800 Medium-Firm to the Comfy Mattress.

Each Custom mattress, 34 X 78 inches.

RV Model: 2021 Tiffin Phaeton 40IH 

Customers:  Gary and Lynn Hennings

Location: California. Bed system installed in Carson, CA by Axel Bloom. Two-hour installation.

The platform had two guard rails to keep the original Sleep Number mattress from sliding off. We measured the width of the platform between the Guard Rails. We removed the air pump for the air mattress from the storage area.

We brought in the two sides of the adjustable bed and cabinets to ensure that the adjustable bed edges would not touch the sides of the door entrances and cabinets (see more photos below) and the foot of the beds would clear the drawer door handles. No problems!

You can see that table top on the right is offset from the side of the platform by more than 2 inches so when the back of the adjustable bed is raised, it will not graze the table top.

The extension cord is connected to a power outlet inside the storage compartment. We made a hole to snake the cord to the upper platform so it could power the two adjustable bed motors.

You can see that the foot edge of the adjustable bed will not be interfered by the side of the cabinet when both sides are brought in. We have more than an inch of clearance. The devil is in the details!

You can see that the head section is set away from the side of the table top and window valence so it will not graze them when raised.

An overall perspective of the installation in progress.

We are screwing on the four brackets per bed to secure the adjustable bed on the platform that can be later raised to access storage.

This is the storage area when the platform is raised. We attached a power extender cord to an existing power outlet in rear of the storage area and snaked the extender to connect with the motors of the two adjustable beds.

We moved aside the slats in the center to provide space for us to connect the control boxes and cables to the two motors. The lower slats were moved to provide access to attach the side stoppers to keep the mattresses in place.

Here we are attaching one of four side stoppers (two on each side) by hooking them into pre-drilled holes and then screwing them on the inner adjustable bed frames. There is a screw hole on the side stopper to insert the screw to secure to the frame.

This shows the locations of the two foot stoppers that are screwed on the foot sections and in the background, the location of one of the side stoppers.

Installation completed! You can see the mattress is held in place by one of the side stoppers at the head section and is well away from the side table so there will not be interference from the table top and window valence.

Here is Gary trying his side! He ordered that the head and back of his bed would raise together in one plane (“Straight Back Option”). His wife ordered the default setting where the head raises alone up to 25 degree elevation before the back then follows. Ideal for side sleepers as that two step motion leaves the shoulder undisturbed when the head is raised. You can see a video comparing the two options here: https://www.axelbloom.com/doppelflex-mx2

“Thumbs up!” Gary is 6 foot tall and his feet are comfortably planted on the mattress when the bed is raised.

Proud owner and ready to pilot the RV to see America!
