The last bed the Mrs. and I bought for ourselves was purchased in 1995. It served us well, but was just worn out. So we did our research (well, the Mrs. did anyway) and we ended up with a king size Tempur-Pedic product. We waved off all the bells and whistles like the electronic monitors that checked how well we slept, how much we sweated, what the ambient humidity and temperature was, etc. But we did opt for the ability to raise the heads and/or feet of the bed. Seemed handy, with the challenges of old age now happening to us.
What neither of us had anticipated was the presence of 8 USB ports on the damn thing. We had expected zero, or rather never considered they’d be on there in the first place. Yeah, I know, we’re old. There are 2 each on each side, and 4 in the middle, where they’re accessible via the small mattress separation.
The bed doesn’t seem wi fi capable at this point, for which I’m grateful. It appears to just have the USBs as convenient places for us to plug in and operate/ recharge our bed-intensive devices. We immediately thought of phones, iPad, iPod, kindles, etc.
But now we’re told that there’s a wealth of special equipment that’s handy in bed AND has a USB port. We were directed to websites to several of these, and they do seem to focus on what we called “marital aids” back in the 70’s. Well, that was an eye opener. And got us thinking along different lines . . .
Anyway, how many USB ports does your bed have? And what do you plug into them?
