A bed platform (12) for supporting a mattress wherein the inclination of one or more portions is adjustable. A bed platform frame includes first (26) and second (40, 42, 44) support frame assemblies, each including a pair of spaced apart rails. A cross member (42, 112) extends between the pair of spaced apart rails, and an actuator (28) is coupled to a support member which is coupled to the cross member. The spaced apart rails of the first support frame assembly are connected to the spaced apart rails of the second support frame assembly, when the first support frame assembly is assembled with the second support frame assembly, by a pivoting connection (116). The actuator support member of the first support frame assembly is coupled to the cross member of the second support frame assembly when the first support frame assembly is assembled with the second support frame assembly. The actuator support member of the second support frame assembly is coupled to the cross member of the first support frame assembly when the first support frame assembly is assembled with the second support frame assembly. A bed platform may comprise a first platform section (20) comprising a bed platform frame, and a second platform section (22) comprising another bed platform frame. The bed may comprise a base (14) placed under the bed platform able to raise or lower the bed platform. The bed may be configured to switch between independent actuation of each platform section, and linked actuation of each platform section. A cable may provide linking actuation between the first and second platform sections.
