3. The sleep system according to claim 1 , wherein the second user controller is further configured to control the articulation system in order to cause the second section to move to any of a third set of one or more articulation positions with a maximum articulation angle of no more than about 60° from horizontal, and wherein the second user controller can only cause the first section to move to any of a second set of one or more articulation positions with a maximum articulation angle of no more than about 15° from horizontal.

4. The sleep system according to claim 1 , wherein the articulation system comprises a first motor for articulating the first section, a second motor for articulating the second section, and one or more controllers for controlling movement of the first motor and the second motor, and wherein the first user controller and the second user controller are configured to transmit control signals to the one or more controllers, wherein control signals transmitted from the first user controller comprise a first address identifying the first user controller and control signals from the second user controller comprise a second address identifying the second user controller.

5. The sleep system according to claim 1 , wherein the first user controller is configured to articulate the first section at a first speed and to articulate the second section at a second speed wherein the first speed is distinct from the second speed.

6. The sleep system according to claim 5 , wherein the second user controller is configured to articulate the second section at the first speed.

7. The sleep system according to claim 1 , wherein the first set of one or more articulation positions comprises a continuous range of articulation positions.

8. A sleep system comprising:

a mattress including a first sleep area for a first occupant, the first sleep area including a first section for a portion of a body of the first occupant, and a second sleep area adjacent to the first sleep area for a second occupant, the second sleep area including a second section for a portion of a body of the second occupant;

an articulation system for articulating the first section and the second section;

a first user controller configured to transmit one or more articulation control signals to the articulation system to cause the articulation system to articulate the first section to any of a first set of one or more articulation positions;

a second user controller configured to transmit one or more articulation control signals to the articulation system to cause the articulation system to articulate the second section to any of a second set of one or more articulation positions;

wherein the first user controller is further configured to provide a user selectable predetermined position control that, when selected, causes the first user controller to transmit one or more articulation control signals to the articulation system to cause the articulation system to articulate the second section to a predetermined articulation position, wherein the predetermined articulation position can only be selected from a third set of one or more articulation positions ranging from about 5° to about 15° from horizontal.

9. The sleep system of claim 8 , wherein the first set of one or more articulation positions has a maximum articulation angle that is no greater than about 60° from horizontal.

10. The sleep system of claim 8 , wherein the second user controller is further configured to provide a second user selectable predetermined position control that, when selected, causes the second user controller to transmit one or more articulation control signals to the articulation system to cause the articulation system to articulate the first section to a second predetermined articulation position, wherein the second predetermined articulation position can only be selected from a fourth set of one or more articulation positions ranging from about 5° to about 15° from horizontal.

11. The sleep system of claim 10 , wherein the first set of one or more articulation positions has a maximum articulation angle that is no greater than about 60° from horizontal, and the second set of one or more articulation positions has a maximum articulation angle that is no greater than about 60° from horizontal.

12. A sleep system comprising:

a mattress including a first sleep area for a first occupant, the first sleep area including a first section for a portion of a body of the first occupant, and a second sleep area adjacent to the first sleep area for a second occupant, the second sleep area including a second section for a portion of a body of the second occupant;

an articulation system for articulating the first section and the second section;

a first user controller configured to transmit one or more articulation control signals to the articulation system to cause the articulation system to articulate the first section within a first range of articulation positions;

a second user controller configured to transmit one or more articulation control signals to the articulation system to cause the articulation system to articulate the second section within a second range of articulation positions;

wherein the first user controller is further configured to provide a user selectable predetermined position control that, when selected, causes the first user controller to transmit one or more articulation control signals to the articulation system to cause the articulation system to articulate the second section to a predetermined articulation position, wherein the predetermined articulation position can only be selected from a third range of articulation positions ranging from about 5° to about 15° from horizontal.

13. The sleep system of claim 12 , wherein the first range of articulation positions has a maximum articulation angle that is no greater than about 60° from horizontal.

14. The sleep system of claim 12 , wherein the second user controller is further configured to provide a second user selectable predetermined position control that, when selected, causes the second user controller to transmit one or more articulation control signals to the articulation system to cause the articulation system to articulate the first section to a second predetermined articulation position, wherein the second predetermined articulation position can only be selected from a fourth range of articulation positions ranging from about 5° to about 15° from horizontal.
