An Illinois woman has sued the maker of Sleep Number beds after her elderly mother suffered injuries when a bed malfunctioned and left her trapped. She later died from her injuries.

Rosalind “Roz” Walker, 80, became the proud owner of a Sleep Number bed back in 2014. Nearly 10 years after that purchase, on March 1, 2023, Walker had the head of the bed in a “raised position,” according to the lawsuit. When Walker walked between the raised bed and the wall behind it, the bed “lowered without warning,” trapping her between the bed and the wall — for two days.
