A fully electric, 3-motor hi-low hospital bed lets you power the head, the foot, and the entire bed height independently — no hand cranks, no waiting for a caregiver. Below is a side-by-side look at the leading manufacturers we carry, followed by a full guide to choosing, financing, and buying the right bed.
The Supernal 3 fully reclines from a seated position to flat while hiding its mechanics inside a bed that looks like ordinary bedroom furniture. It comes standard with a backlit wireless hand control, variable massage, European-style wall-hugging head tilt, and an emergency power-down feature. Starting at $3,999.

Flexabed's Hi-Low SL pairs full hospital-bed adjustability with a residential mattress and frame, backed by a lifetime limited warranty. The reinforced frame supports up to 400 lb single-occupant or 700 lb in a dual-occupant setup, with whisper-quiet motors and a base that lowers to 16.5" with mattress.

The Rio series (3.0 through 6.0) steps up through lumbar support, dual massage, and WiFi/Alexa control while keeping Ergomotion's silent motors and one-touch flat return. Dawn House, built on Ergomotion's platform, is styled specifically for seniors, pairing a moving support rail with the same certified hi-low functionality for safer, more confident transfers at home.

The S-Cape+ adds dual massage with wave patterns, programmable positions, and under-bed lighting on a Whisper Quiet HD motor, adjusting to 58° at the head and 44° at the foot. The Prodigy PT 2.0 brings Leggett & Platt's Wallhugger technology — lifting you while gliding you back toward your nightstand — plus Pillow Tilt, a zero-clearance foundation, and a 19-button Bluetooth remote with a built-in flashlight.

Twenty things worth knowing before you buy — from motor counts to financing to where else Electropedic can help.
A 3-motor bed has one motor for the head section, one for the foot section, and one that raises or lowers the entire bed height — all controlled independently by remote, with no manual cranking. That third, hi-low motor is what separates a true hospital-style bed from a simpler 2-motor adjustable base and is the single most important spec for anyone focused on safe transfers.
Visit Electropedic.com →A full-electric bed powers the head, foot, and height with motors; a semi-electric bed powers the head and foot but still requires a hand crank for height. If safe transfers for a caregiver or a patient with limited strength are a priority, the fully electric hi-low models covered in this guide are almost always the better long-term choice.
Visit ElectricHomeCare.com →Weight capacities across the models in this guide range from about 400 lb up to 750 lb, and a bariatric-rated frame is a different product from a standard-duty frame, not just a wider mattress. Always size to the patient's actual weight with margin, not to the bed you'd prefer to buy.
Visit Electric-HomeCare.com →Head elevation helps with reading, eating, and breathing; foot elevation reduces swelling and pressure on the lower back; hi-low height adjustment is what makes standing transfers and caregiver assistance safer. A true 3-motor bed gives you all three independently, rather than linking any of them together.
Visit ElectroEase.com →Trendelenburg tilts the whole bed so the head is lower than the feet; reverse Trendelenburg does the opposite. Beds like the Tuffcare T7036/T7042 and the Ergomotion Ascend offer these positions to support circulation and pressure relief — a feature mainly relevant to higher-acuity home care rather than everyday comfort use.
Visit ElectricHealthCare.com →Some hi-low beds include a battery backup option that keeps the bed level and operational if the power goes out — worth asking about if the bed is being used by someone with limited mobility who can't be left stranded mid-recline. It's a low-cost add-on that matters far more than its price tag suggests.
Visit UsedElectricMobility.com →Models like the Transfer Master Supernal 3 and the Flexabed Hi-Low SL are built to look like an ordinary bedroom bed, hiding the motors and rails so the room doesn't read as a hospital room. Models like the Tuffcare T7036/T7042 lean clinical, prioritizing caregiver access and long-term-care durability over residential styling. Neither is "better" — it depends on where the bed will live and who else uses the room.
Visit AAMcare.com →Bariatric beds use reinforced frames, wider decks, and higher-rated motors — the Tuffcare Century line and Leggett & Platt's AC bariatric bases are both built specifically for this. Don't assume a standard 3-motor bed can simply be special-ordered wider; bariatric capacity is engineered into the frame, not added on.
Visit AAMcare-Electropedic.com →Half rails, full rails, and rail covers help prevent falls and give something to hold onto during repositioning, and most manufacturers in this guide sell factory-matched rails rather than universal ones. If the bed will be used by someone with dementia or a high fall risk, plan the rail and transfer-aid setup at the same time as the bed itself, not as an afterthought.
Visit ElderCareMobility.com →A short recovery — a few weeks post-surgery, a temporary stay with family — often makes more financial sense as a monthly rental than a purchase. A long-term or permanent need, on the other hand, is almost always cheaper to own outright once you pass the break-even point, which for most beds in this guide is somewhere between four and eight months of rental.
Visit RetirementMobility.com →Before buying a used hospital bed, check that all three motors run smoothly under load, the remote and backup battery both function, the frame has no bent rails or stripped mounting points, and the mattress hasn't been compromised by prior use. A reputable reconditioned unit should come with a real inspection record, not just a wipe-down.
Visit GreatPriceMobility.com →The hi-low motor isn't just for the patient — raising the bed to counter height dramatically reduces the back strain on whoever is providing daily care. When comparing beds, ask about the maximum working height, not just the lowest transfer height, since caregivers use both ends of that range every day.
Visit CaregiverMobility.com →Many of our hospital bed customers are also working through a broader mobility plan for the home, and a stairlift is frequently the next conversation once the bedroom is set up. If stairs are part of the daily routine in a Santa Ana home, we can quote a straight or curved stairlift alongside your bed order.
Visit Kraus-Santa-Ana-Stairlifts.com →The same visit that outfits a bedroom with a 3-motor hi-low bed is often the right time to evaluate the staircase, too. Our Anaheim stairlift team can measure a straight or curved staircase while our bed specialists finalize your hospital bed order.
Visit Kraus-Anaheim-Stairlifts.com →Irvine's larger multi-story homes mean a stairlift and a hospital bed are often part of the same accessibility project. We coordinate delivery and installation for both so you're not managing two separate vendors and two separate appointments.
Visit Kraus-Irvine-Stairlift.com →For Long Beach households managing a recovery or an aging-in-place plan, we quote hospital beds and stairlifts together so the full cost of making a home safer is clear up front, rather than discovered a project at a time.
Visit Kraus-Long-Beach-Stairlifts.com →Our Anaheim delivery team assembles the frame, installs the motors and remote, and walks you through every position before they leave — the same white-glove setup whether you've chosen a Transfer Master, Flexabed, Ergomotion, Leggett & Platt, or Tuffcare model.
Visit Anaheim.Electropedic.com →Long Beach deliveries include the same full setup and orientation as any of our Orange County installs, with local service and parts support if anything ever needs adjustment down the road.
Visit LongBeach.Electropedic.com →In Irvine, our technicians handle everything from unboxing to final positioning, including pairing your new bed with a mattress sized correctly for the frame you've chosen.
Visit Irvine.Electropedic.com →Not every mattress flexes well on a hi-low base — a rigid innerspring mattress will crease and wear prematurely at the hinge points. A natural latex mattress is one of the most flexible, durable options for pairing with any of the adjustable bases in this guide, which is why we cover it in detail next.
Visit Latexpedic.com →A hospital bed base is only half the equation — the mattress on top needs to flex through every position without breaking down. Certified organic latex, hand-built without polyurethane foam or chemical fire retardants, is the material we recommend most often for a 3-motor hi-low base.
Latexpedic mattresses are built from GOLS-certified organic latex, cotton, and wool — no polyurethane foam, no chemical fire retardants. Each mattress is hand-made and serialized, offered in four comfort levels from softly contouring to ultra firm, and made, sold, delivered, and guaranteed directly by Electropedic with no middleman markup.
Visit Latexpedic.com →A mattress built from whole natural materials — latex, cotton, and wool rather than synthetic foams and treated fabrics — flexes cleanly at the hinge points of a hi-low base without the sagging or crumbling that petroleum-based foams develop over time. It's a meaningful difference for anyone spending most of the day and night on an adjustable bed.
Visit WholeMattress.com →Every model comes in four firmness levels, and queen and king sizes can be split for couples with different comfort needs — a genuine advantage over a one-firmness foam mattress, particularly on a Dual King or split-base hospital bed setup where each side moves independently.
