Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bed system comprising:
 a mattress;   an adjustable foundation; and   a connection system comprising a button and a clasp, wherein the button has a first diameter, wherein the clasp comprises a hole having a first portion with a second diameter larger than the first diameter of the button and a second portion with a third diameter smaller than the first diameter of the button.   
     
     
         2 . The bed system of  claim 1 , wherein the button is connected to the adjustable foundation and the clasp is connected to the mattress. 
     
     
         3 . The bed system of  claim 1 , wherein the connection system is configured to keep the mattress proximate to the adjustable foundation when the adjustable foundation moves. 
     
     
         4 . The bed system of  claim 1 , wherein the connection system further comprises a first strap connecting the clasp to the mattress. 
     
     
         5 . The bed system of  claim 4 , wherein the clasp is connected to a second strap on an opposing side of the clasp as the first strap. 
     
     
         6 . The bed system of  claim 4 , wherein the adjustable foundation comprises a bar, wherein the clasp is sized to fit under the bar. 
     
     
         7 . The bed system of  claim 6 , wherein the first strap and the clasp extend under the bar. 
     
     
         8 . The bed system of  claim 7 , wherein the clasp connects to the button when the first strap extends under the bar. 
     
     
         9 . The bed system of  claim 1 , wherein the button includes an outer flange that extends over a surface of the clasp. 
     
     
         10 . A bed system comprising:
 a mattress;   an adjustable foundation;   a connection system comprising a button and a strap, wherein the strap has a slit sized to fit the button; and   a connector housing fixed to the adjustable foundation and including (i) a channel partially recessed below a top surface of the adjustable foundation and configured to allow the strap to pass therethrough, and (ii) a bar that extends across the channel;   wherein the strap is configured to, based on passing through the channel, extend under the bar and extend over the button at the slit.   
     
     
         11 . The bed system of  claim 10 , wherein the slit is teardrop shaped. 
     
     
         12 . The bed system of  claim 10 , wherein the slit is shaped as a straight line. 
     
     
         13 . The bed system of  claim 10 , wherein the slit is formed by cutting the strap with a hot knife. 
     
     
         14 . The bed system of  claim 10 , wherein the strap comprises stitching along a perimeter of the slit. 
     
     
         15 . The bed system of  claim 10 , wherein the button comprises an outer flange and a screw. 
     
     
         16 . The bed system of  claim 15 , wherein the outer flange is formed of a polymer and the screw is formed of metal. 
     
     
         17 . A bed system comprising:
 a mattress;   an adjustable foundation; and   a connection system comprising a strap and a rotatable lever, wherein the strap has a slit sized to fit the rotatable lever.   
     
     
         18 . The bed system of  claim 17 , wherein the rotatable lever comprises an oblong lobe and a lever arm, wherein the oblong lobe is configured to stretch the strap when the lever arm is rotated. 
     
     
         19 . The bed system of  claim 17 , wherein the rotatable lever comprises at least one detent that interfaces the connection system to lock the rotatable lever in position when the rotatable lever is rotated to a connected position. 
     
     
         20 . The bed system of  claim 17 , wherein the foundation comprises a bar, wherein the strap and the slit extend under the bar and the slit connects to the rotatable lever when the strap extends under the bar.
