A
Word From Our President...
In the late 1980's, we discovered that home care beds were ugly, insensitively
designed and horribly uncomfortable. We tried to resolve this problem by
retrofitting existing beds in the market. Our efforts were frustrated by
a lack of cooperation from conventional manufacturers. We understood that
there was a need to be filled and we decided to design the right product
and find a way to build it.
This
effort was, and continues to be, backed by our family (three generations
worth). With tremendous effort, sacrifice and a little luck, we launched
the Original Transfer Master in 1993. Our ideas were so unique, that
we received a number of patents from the United State Patent Office! More
important, was the widespread acknowledgement and orders that we received
from our customers
Our
printed catalog is now our fifth edition and this web site continues to
grow, as well. We hope you will find this site is a useful guide to enhance
life for yourself or for your clientele. You will find not only the Original
(and all of its options) but you will also be surprised to find a wide array
of specialty beds.
Each
year we continue to grow, but we have not abandoned the philosophy that
we started with. Each bed has to be exactly what the user needs! The plans
for each and every bed that we build are permanently archived with the last
name of the user. This personal approach allows us to respond quickly to
any changes or service issues that may arise.
On behalf
of my family and our dedicated staff, we thank you for your interest in
Transfer Master Products.
Sincerely,
Aaron
Goldsmith

Why
A Transfer Master Adjustable Bed?
In 1969, man first landed on the moon. Twenty-four years later, we figured
out how to independently transfer in and out of bed! The patented Original
Transfer Master Hi-Low was the first bed build to help with transfers.
The
standard minimum height (from the top of the mattress to the floor,) is
18 inches, allowing for easy transfers from most wheelchairs. The Hi-Low mechanism
allows the bed to raise 12 inches to enable an easy transfer back to the
wheelchair and to simplify care-giving tasks. The head and foot sections
rise higher than what you find in most standard homecare beds.
The
Original Transfer Master Hi-Low Bed was designed to look like home
furniture, yet maintain all of the functions of a clinical (hospital) bed.
Typical home care beds are designed exclusively for the nurses. The Original
improves on this by meeting the needs of both the user and the rest of the
family.
Each
Original is custom designed to meet your specific needs. No other bed or
any other company offers this level of flexibility.
You
can choose from standard widths such as Twin, Full or Queen size, or we
can finish the bed to your specification. You determine the length, whether
it is standard, extra long, super long or a custom dimension. This is only
the beginning of the choices. You then choose the minimum height of the
hi-low bed, the finish of the mattress and a range of controls and options.
If you are using a lift, you can order an optional package with your adjustable/hi-low
bed to allow clearance for any "Hoyer" type system.
Our
orthopedic mattresses offer superb comfort. For extra sensitive needs, we
offer an optional Memory Foam Pillow Pad Overlay.
Old-fashioned
craftsmanship is evident in each bed that we build. The Original
is stamped, welded and powder-coated and final assembled in the State of
Iowa. Each part is overbuilt to assure a long and useful life. Parts are
either bolted or welded together to insure the product's integrity.
The
Oasis, a head and foot adjustable bed, is identical in style and a perfect
complement to the Original. This adjustable bed is often ordered
in a Dual King with the Original. The Oasis can also be modified
to meet special needs.

What
Is A Dual King?
The perfect approach for a couple to accommodate the requirements of one
of the individuals and also serve the needs of their relationship in a desirable
fashion. Two Twin beds side by side, each with their own controls, create
a Dual King measuring 78 by 80 inches. An Original Transfer Master
Twin can be united with another Original or with either of our less
expensive choices--The Oasis or The Transfer Master Clone--for maximum comfort,
affordability and a wonderful night's sleep!

A Word
About Our Mattresses...
All of our orthopedic mattresses are made with great care. We turned to the best manufacturers to design a mattress system that would meet all of our criteria. The mattress needed to follow the contour of our adjustable beds without excessive bulging and still remain supportive. The mattress had to be comfortable but not so soft that it would complicate transferring. We also wanted the materials to breathe and create a healthy environment for skin conditions. Finally, while the mattress needs to bend for adjustment, we needed to keep the edges from crumbling during transfers. After years of research and ongoing improvements, we finally arrived at a system that meets all of our criteria.
Most of our mattresses are manufactured in Iowa by Restonic. Normally, the mattresses are made from innersprings while some special application mattresses can be made with latex, specialty or memory foams. Our fabric covering is made with cotton and polyester for breathability and durability. Vinyl is also available by request.
