In a freak accident earlier this month, a 4-year old boy died when his head got stuck behind a reclining bed. When reps from the National Consumer Affairs Center went to the house to investigate, they found that the mattress moved without even touching the Recline button. Dangerous!
The father found his kid with his neck wedged between the mattress and headboard (see diagram to the left) on December 9th.

I saw this on the TV and a smaller man got in there and sat down and angled his head showing it could've even done him a mischief from the looks of it.
