185 Hi-Low Series SL

Very nice and comfortable

The bed rail is too big and clunky and not the right size for me to use easily

Strong frame, nice optional massage unit, wireless remote, battery back and lift height.

Wish had more than one year warranty. Need to make sure end user gets to check out mattress before unwrapping. Not mattress I needed and unwrapped so no option to exchange.

Male,57, who needed height adjustable bed so could use now with weak legs, with help. Then use in future as able to get Hoyer lift under bed.

The legs can be moved up and down, in addition to the standard head, and lowering/raising the entire bed. Beth was also great to work with. She helped me with several phone calls and did lots of research for me to find the best item for my father. Thanks!

The bed was for my 85 year old father. He is 6'5"and needed the extra tall bed. He was in a hospital bed with head and foot boards before.this bed

Like the firmness Ease of operation

Would like to lower bed with mattress to 10-12" from floor and be able to raise to 30" height. Also that bed would not move horizonal when lower and raising of bed.

paul s. from york, pa

I am 76 year old male who had polio, limited mobility.

The gel foam mattress is very comfortable. It is easy to move the bed up-and-down or to change the position of the head and foot of the bed. The bed works with my wall-to-wall carpet. The casters lock securely.

The mechanisms that raise the head and foot of the bed made it difficult to use a hoyer lift but it is doable. You will have to narrow the legs of the lift and then raise the bed in order to get past the mechanisms.

The ability to change the height of the bed is a game changer. When it is low, it is easy to get into bed. Raising the head area & bed base assist with getting out of bed making standing easier.

The side rail was too long. When getting into bed, Mom was too low in her placement in the bed. We needed to purchase a different rail. The button light on the controller should stay lit longer.

susan g. from nottingham, md (caregiver)

The bed was purchased for my mom who is 90 years old & suffers with spinal stenosis causing her to have difficulty with her legs - numbness, walking.

Height adjustable

Premium innerspring mattress is a bit lumpy. No user manual for new remote control.

Comfort, hi-lo and massage feature

explanation of wireless remote control very poor you are left to figure function yourself directions only give names of function. Massage should have vibration strength low med or high

The hi-lo features.

I wish it were a little more substantial. Just a little.

I have multiple sclerosis. No longer ambulatory. The adjustable bed helps with sleep and bed rest. The raise and lower feature helps me transfer.
