What Makes This Different
The 185 Hi-Low Series SL goes beyond the capabilities of a standard adjustable bed by allowing the entire bed to move vertically in addition to adjusting the head and foot sections. This feature significantly improves accessibility, making transfers easier for users and reducing strain on caregivers.
Its heavy-duty Advantech® foundation is engineered to resist warping, breaking, and squeaking, ensuring years of dependable use. Unlike many adjustable beds that offer only a single mattress option, the 185 Hi-Low Series SL allows customers to choose from several mattress styles—including gel memory foam, latex, and innerspring—as well as multiple firmness levels for a truly customized sleep experience.
Optional upgrades such as voice activation, wireless controls, massage, and under-bed lighting allow users to tailor the bed to their individual comfort and accessibility needs.
