Abstract

An adjustable bed for a vehicle, such as for a truck cab, comprises a thin base plate forming a support surface, a non-pivotable first support panel, formed by or connected to the base plate and at least one pivotable second support panel, pivotably connected to the first support panel. The pivotable connection comprises a first rotatable shaft being fixedly connected to the second support panel and rotatably connected to the first support panel or to the base plate. An adjustment mechanism is coupled to the first rotatable shaft and adapted to manipulate the second support panel by rotation of the first rotatable shaft, the adjustment mechanism being arranged at, or in the vicinity of, a long side at the perimeter of the base plate. A further, third, pivotable support panel may also be provided, and connected to the first support panel on an opposite side.
