Hi-Low Hospital Beds

Our hi-low hospital beds are designed with the user in mind.

We've built high low hospital beds for 25 years.

In 1993, our patented Original Transfer Master Hi-Low Hospital Bed was the first electric bed built to help with transfers from a wheelchair. Today, most of our adjustable beds move up and down, in addition to being equipped with a range of other features that include electric head, foot, Trendelenburg, and cardiac chair adjustments.

Our hi-low adjustable beds are designed with the user in mind.

Transfer Master high-low beds are adjustable beds that raise and lower so customers can set the height for safe and easy wheelchair transfers. Hi-Low height adjustable beds combine the benefits of a high profile bed and a low profile adjustable bed, allowing wheelchair users and people with disabilities to safely get into and out of bed.

We design all our hi-low hospital beds to look like home furniture, yet maintain the functions of a clinical bed. Typical home care beds are designed for nurses. The Transfer Master Original, and the the beds that followed, improved on this by meeting the needs of both the clinician and the rest of the family.

Our lowest bed, the Supernal Hi-Low, has a deck height of 10.5 inches, making it one of the lowest electric beds on the market. You can order this hi-low hospital bed in many sizes, including twin, full, queen, standard length, extra long, and super long.

Our high quality mattresses offer superb comfort. Most of our beds can also be ordered with specialty pressure relief mattresses in almost any size.

Old-fashioned craftsmanship is evident in each adjustable height bed we build. Each part is overbuilt for a long and useful life. Parts are either bolted or welded together to ensure the product’s integrity.

“I have been disabled for over 20 years and have always struggled with hi-low beds…
until I stumbled on to Transfer Master!” –Johnny B., California, USA

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions about our hi-low hospital beds

What is a hi-low hospital bed?

A hi-low bed—sometimes called a high-low bed or a height-adjustable bed— is a fully adjustable bed with an expanded head, foot, and height adjustability.  The bed moves up and down at the touch of a button on its remote control. These are perfect beds for people in home-healthcare or assisted living situations.

What health conditions is a hi-low bed good for?

Height-adjustable beds are designed to bring comfort to people with a range of health conditions or mobility issues. One end of the bed can be elevated to allow gravity to assist with getting out of bed, or the entire bed can be lowered to facilitate getting in and out of a wheelchair. In addition, hi-low beds with adjustable head or foot sections can elevate parts of the body to affect circulation and blood flow. People who have been helped by hi-low beds have conditions such as:

  • Alzheimer’s
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Chronic pulmonary disease
  • Respiratory problems
  • Workers comp injuries
  • Military injuries
  • Car accidents
  • Muscular Dystrophy
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Post-Polio
  • Paralysis
  • Amputations
  • Congenital birth defects
  • Edema
  • And many other health conditions

How far do hi-low beds raise and lower?

This depends on the specific model of hi-low hospital bed. Most of our beds have a height range of 10 inches and raise to a deck height of 20.5 inches. Our New Valiant and Night Rider adjustable height beds can also raise to a deck height of 24 inches for individuals who prefer a lofty resting height.

Are your hi-low home hospital beds electric?

Yes, all Transfer Master high-low beds are electric adjustable beds. They require minimal electric power and can be plugged into a standard power outlet for the U.S. and Canada. Special arrangements can be made to adapt our electric beds to operate in foreign countries upon request.

What do I do if there’s a power failure?

In the event of a power failure, our high-low hospital beds can also come equipped with an emergency power-down function. This can be provided with any electric home hospital bed we make, and allows you to set a preferred height and position setting that the bed automatically returns to in the event of a power failure. This allows you to still get in and out of your home hospital bed from a neutral position, even during a power outage.

Do I need a special mattress for these hi-low beds?

Yes. Our hospital beds for home use work best with a mattress that offers the correct flexibility and range of motion. Because of this, we’ve made this process easier by offering our own line of adjustable bed mattresses. For supreme comfort, we recommend the Ascent mattress or Soft Touch memory foam mattress. For those who need an alternating pressure mattress or a mattress designed to prevent bedsores, we recommend the PressureGuard line of hospital bed mattresses.

What kinds of covers or liners can I get with my hi-low bed mattress?

We offer both cloth and vinyl covers to fit your needs. Our cloth mattress covers are made of premium bamboo fibers which are both incredibly soft and have natural antibacterial properties. The stretch vinyl covers are waterproof, yet feel soft to the touch like a cloth mattress cover would.

What is the difference between Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg?

The Trendelenburg position angles the bed so the feet are above the head to help those with issues like low blood pressure. The Reverse Trendelenburg angles the body so the head is elevated over the feet, to help alleviate regurgitation problems and acid reflux. Our hi-low beds are designed to accommodate these positions along with our specialty hospital bed mattresses.

Which of your beds support Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg positions?

Our 5-position hi-low beds support these special range-of-motion positions. The beds that come standard with all 5 positions are the Supernal 5 and New Valiant. However, many of our other beds can be customized to add these specific positions. Contact us or give us a call at 1-800-475-8122 to learn more.
