1. An adjustable bed facility comprising: an adjustable bed frame comprising at least one articulating section, the articulating section comprising a support surface defining an opening;a vibration motor suspended from the support surface adjacent the opening by at least one flexible connector, wher
1. An adjustable bed facility comprising: an adjustable bed frame comprising at least one articulating section, the articulating section comprising a support surface defining an opening;a vibration motor suspended from the support surface adjacent the opening by at least one flexible connector, wherein the flexible connector is a flexible rope;an actuator associated with the adjustable bed frame and adapted to move the at least one articulating section; andan adjustable bed controller associated with the adjustable bed frame and adapted to control the vibration motor. 2. The adjustable bed facility of claim 1, wherein the vibration motor is not in contact with the support surface. 3. The adjustable bed facility of claim 1, wherein the adjustable bed controller is adapted to control one or more of vibration frequency and vibration intensity of the vibration motor. 4. The adjustable bed facility of claim 1, wherein the flexible connector is removably attached to the vibration motor. 5. The adjustable bed facility of claim 4, wherein the vibration motor comprises at least one opening through which the flexible connector passes to suspend the vibration motor. 6. The adjustable bed facility of claim 1, wherein the flexible connector is permanently attached to the vibration motor. 7. The adjustable bed facility of claim 1, wherein the flexible rope is attached at opposing ends to the articulating section support surface on opposing sides of the opening. 8. The adjustable bed facility of claim 1, comprising at least two flexible connectors suspending the vibration motor. 9. The adjustable bed facility of claim 1, wherein the flexible connector is adapted to dampen vibration of vibration motor. 10. The adjustable bed facility of claim 1, further comprising a housing mounted to the support surface and at least partially enclosing the vibration motor and the flexible connector. 11. The adjustable bed facility of claim 1, wherein the vibration motor is positioned in a section of the adjustable bed facility corresponding to one or more of a hip region, a shoulder region, a back region, and a neck region. 12. An adjustable bed system, comprising: the adjustable bed facility of claim 1; anda mattress supported by the adjustable bed frame on a side of the support surface opposite that of the vibration motor. 13. The adjustable bed facility of claim 1, wherein the adjustable bed frame comprises a plurality of articulating sections. 14. The adjustable bed facility of claim 1, wherein: (i) the adjustable bed controller comprises at least one vibration frequency and at least one mattress type stored in memory in the controller, and(ii) each stored mattress type is associated with a corresponding stored vibration frequency for the stored mattress type. 15. The adjustable bed facility of claim 14, wherein the adjustable bed controller comprises a plurality of vibration frequencies and a plurality of mattress types stored in memory in the controller. 16. The adjustable bed facility of claim 14, wherein the stored vibration frequency is a resonance frequency of the mattress type. 17. The adjustable bed facility of claim 1, wherein the adjustable bed controller is further adapted to control the actuator and move the at least one articulating section. 18. A method for controlling an adjustable bed facility, the method comprising: providing the adjustable bed system of claim 12; andoperating the vibration motor to vibrate the mattress. 19. The method of claim 18, comprising operating the vibration motor at a resonance frequency of the mattress. 20. The adjustable bed facility of claim 1, wherein the flexible connector is attached to the support surface.
