the price is exorbitant for the size of the bed

Bed is for 85 yrs old father, unfortunately he has been in hospital/rehab and hasn't tried it yet and the motor came broken upon delivery.

The bed adjusts in every way my mom needed and the upgraded mattress is very comfortable. 

None.

My mom is 90 years old and is still able to get around with a cane but needed a very comfortable adjustable bed. 

I enjoy this comfortable bed with its features that it has. It has been one of my greatest buys ever.

The ability to raise the entire bed up to just the height that makes it the easier to get out of bed, but also lower it so it safe to get into.

Haven't found any at this point.

deborah t. from florence, ky

Weak muscles due to genetics, wheelchair user, needing assistance getting up and down.

Goes high enough to save my back as caregiver and goes low enough to be able to get in and out of bed easily. Has made a difference with my husband's breathing problems and swelling in legs. Very comfortable for me as well. Easy to operate, fairly quiet, slow, but very helpful. Hoping this product will serve us well for many years.

Biggest weakness I have found is that the emergency button to lower the bed in case of power outage is located where I have to physically get on the floor and under the bed to reach it! At 76 that is not easy to do and possibly not safe. Have to hold it the whole time and when the bed is at the lowest point not much room for me under there. A larger person could be trapped because once lowered the bed can not be raised back up. Unfortunately I found this out just after the bed was delivered due to a delivery error. Wish that I had ordered the longer version of the Queen bed. We are not super tall people, but once the bed is adjusted it becomes significantly shorter and our feet tend to hang off the end. There wasn't any option for sheets at the extended length, so I did not really consider that option. I thought it would be too difficult and expensive to obtain bedding. After using this bed for a couple weeks I do wish I had made the decision to go with the longer bed.

None yet

mary c. from kernersville, nc

I am a 73 year old female with MS and recently suffered a break of my right leg. Needed a bed that would be lower enough to get in.

Being able to raise and lower the bed off the ground is a back saver for my family. The head raising up helps sit my loved one up, while lifting the knees, keeps him from sliding while sitting up. 

It would be nice if it raised straight up, instead of raising outward from the wall. We wouldn’t have to leave as much space between the head and the wall. At this moment, I do not see any other weaknesses, and in the grand scheme of things, it is not that big of a deal.

This Hi-Low bed is so helpful in transfers from chair to bed and back for our family as we transfer our loved one. No more lifting him up to bed.

Well constructed for heavy weight person

Rails are difficult to keep up. need a manual.

joe n. from san jose, ca

Just completed Back Surgery. While getting out of the bed is a little tricky, the entire reason for the bed was to prevent falling out.

Easy use and quality
