See, this is just another sign of the descent of civilization… Wi-Fi fridges, ‘smart’ corkscrews, turning beloved old movies into skeevy reality TV shows, and now this.
Our bed (bought last year) has a couple ports on each side, inconveniently placed where you have to reach under and upwards to blindly plug anything in. But I only had to do it the once to put a micro-USB and a USB-C cable in each side which covers all my USB-related needs (mainly tablet/phone charging).
While the USB ports doesn’t seem suitable for any adult toys, I’ll admit that the vibration feature on the bed immediately made me think of seedy motel rooms and coin-operated Magic Fingers.
If you’re not careful when you buy one of these newfangled marital aids, it could turn out to be very SCSI indeed.
They plug into regular sockets.

We now live full-time in a fifth-wheel trailer, built last year. The bed doesn’t have USB ports, but there’s a port on each side of the bed under what passes for a bedside shelf (the shelf is about the size of a mass-market paperback). I can put my iPad on it, with the edges sticking over, and my iPhone. I only charge the iPad there, since the iPhone has Apple’s super-convenient [/s] Lightning port. In the living area, the two adjoining recliners have two USB ports on the front of the console between the seats, and the sofa has a USB port on under the shelves on each side. There’s also one under the television cabinet. I think that’s plenty.
As others have hinted at, this is just quirky shit that is unneeded. USB charging banks are cheap and can be plugged in by the bed side without relying on the jerry rigged technology to put the ports on the bed itself. Count me out as a buyer.
I was surprised to find that the power strip/surge protector I just bought has two USB ports for recharging.
The bed is definitely low-tech and will stay that way.*
*If anyone knows of a dog bed that detects chewing and “corrects” the errant canine, please let me know.
Been years since I’ve heard that word. Dang.
Leave it to tech types to decide that SCSI should be pronounced “scuzzy” instead of “sexy”.
Got that right!
We bought our bed in 1985, so …
Maybe it’s time to upgrade to a new bed.
Not only do we not have any USB ports on our bed, I didn’t realize beds came with 2 mattresses so there was space in the middle. Does it have to do with the raising/lowering of the mattresses separately? Seems like quite a lot of space would be needed to fit your hand in order to plug something in.( not a sex joke)
We have 3 USB ports on each nightstand lamp. More than we need since we don’t bring phones into the bedroom.
I’m sure everyone here has seen those advertisements “Learn a foreign language in your sleep in just two weeks!!!1!!!”
There is a clear application for USB ports in your bed for this. Obviously, if you can just plug your brain in while you sleep, you can download an entire foreign language in just a few hours. (Greek or Latin may take longer.)
Multiple USB ports allow the process to happen even quicker, or can be used to download multiple languages simultaneously, as well as making downloads available to multiple bedmates in parallel.
ETA: Data rates may apply.
The bed is adjustable and thus already powered. They just included some USB ports in the already electrical device, it’s not as though they came in afterwards and used nails, rubber bands and duct tape.
Plus, since the adjustable bed uses an electrical outlet, if I plugged a USB charging hub into the other electrical outlet, I wouldn’t have a place to plug in my nightstand lamp.
interesting and first I’ve heard of it. 
Well, if you really like variety . . . 
for a couple years now it’s really been more Jackie Craves Stability, but it seems like too much work to change my screen name. and maybe it’s temporary, right?
My futon only has BlueTooth. However, because of its size, it seems to have much longer range than most BT devices – occasionally I will wake up to find out that some passing stranger has discovered it.
Very few beds plug into the wall. Unless you have an electric bed, to raise and lower various areas. If not, having the bed plug in just to power USBs seems de trop. However, I am not made of stone. Even a Luddite like myself could see the obvious use for a bed refrigerator, air fryer, heating and cooling coils, jukebox, massage module, holodeck simulator (though perhaps not the swallow tech stimulator), white noise machine, vacuum hood, ceiling projection TV, wake-up vibrations, smoke and monoxide detectors and neon lighting.
Oh. You have USBs? Cool!
No USB ports. We’ve got an old Analog bed.
