Flexabed Full Size Hi-Low SL Bed

Product Code: Flexabed-185-Full

The Flexabed Full Size Hi-Low SL is a fully electric adjustable bed built for home care and assisted living situations where a single occupant needs more sleeping room than a standard twin hospital bed. At 53" wide, it offers significantly more comfort and repositioning space than a clinical 38" bed — while delivering the same full Hi-Low height adjustment, head and foot positioning, and furniture-grade appearance as the rest of the Flexabed Hi-Low SL lineup.

Available in three sleeping surface lengths with five mattress options. Optional bed rails, wireless hand control, and dual massage available. Made in the USA.

Full Description

The Hospital Bed Alternative with More Room — Built for Home & Assisted Living

The Flexabed Full Size Hi-Low SL delivers every positioning and height adjustment feature a caregiver or patient needs, built into a bed that actually looks like it belongs in a bedroom. At 53" wide, it gives a single occupant significantly more sleeping room than a standard 38" twin hospital bed — without stepping up to a queen or king footprint.

Unlike clinical hospital beds with bare metal frames, the Flexabed is constructed from furniture-grade materials with a wood-finish headboard and footboard. It looks like real bedroom furniture, takes standard full-size bedding, and fits naturally into a home environment — while delivering push-button control over every position.

Full Electric Hi-Low Operation

Three independent LINAK actuator motors control every position with quiet, smooth precision:

  • Bed Height (Hi-Low): Raises and lowers the entire sleeping surface vertically to reduce caregiver back strain and allow safe patient transfers
  • Head Position: Adjusts up to approximately 65 degrees for reading, watching TV, eating, or respiratory positioning
  • Foot Position: Raises to approximately 45 degrees independently for leg elevation and circulation
  • All positions operate independently or simultaneously — unlimited positioning combinations

Hi-Low Height Range

  • Standard height range: 13.25" to 20.75" (deck height)
  • Casters removed: 11" to 18.5"
  • Top of mattress to floor (standard 10" mattress): 23.25" to 30.75"
  • Under-bed clearance: 5.5" lowered / 11.5" raised — compatible with Hoyer and other floor-based patient lifts

Why Full Size Over Twin?

Standard hospital beds are twin width — fine for a clinical setting, limiting at home. The Full Size gives a single occupant 53" of sleeping width instead of 38", which means:

  • More room to reposition without reaching the edge
  • More comfortable for larger patients
  • Easier caregiver access from either side
  • Fits better visually in a standard bedroom
  • Uses standard full-size bedding — no specialty sheets required

Mattress Options

Choose your mattress when configuring your bed. Not sure which is right? View our Flexabed mattress comparison guide or call us and we'll walk you through it.

  • Premier Innerspring: Available in soft, medium, or firm — traditional spring feel
  • Memory-Foam Combo: Foam comfort layer over supportive base — most popular all-around choice
  • Memory-Foam Core: Full memory foam for deep pressure relief
  • Latex Core: Natural latex for responsive, breathable support
  • GEL/Memory-Foam Combo: Gel-infused memory foam for temperature regulation and pressure relief

Length Options

  • 74" — Standard length for most users
  • 80" — Extended length for taller users
  • 84" — Maximum length for users over 6'2"

Hand Control Options

  • Wired hand control: Lightweight with large switches — stays connected to the bed at all times via built-in holders on the frame
  • Wireless hand control: Same large-button design without the cord — ideal for users who have difficulty managing a tethered control

Optional Add-Ons

  • Bed Rails: Available for one or both sides for patient safety and repositioning assistance
  • Dual Massage: Vibration massage built into the bed for relaxation and circulation

Who Benefits Most from the Flexabed Full Size Hi-Low SL

Ideal For:

  • Single occupants who need more sleeping room than a standard twin hospital bed
  • Home care patients who need Hi-Low height adjustment for safe transfers with caregiver assistance
  • Assisted living situations requiring caregiver access without a clinical-looking bed
  • Patients with chronic pain, COPD, emphysema, asthma, sciatica, arthritis, or obesity who benefit from repositioning throughout the night
  • Patients using a Hoyer or floor-based patient lift — Hi-Low clearance accommodates most lift bases

May Not Be the Right Fit If:

  • Patient exceeds 400 lbs single occupant weight capacity
  • Two occupants need independent positioning control — consider the Split-King
  • Room cannot accommodate a 53" wide full-size footprint
  • Patient requires a full clinical hospital bed with IV poles, side rail systems, or Trendelenburg positioning

Compare Flexabed Sizes

  • Twin — 38" wide: Best hospital bed replacement for a single occupant, fits any bedroom

  • Queen — 60" wide: Comfortable for two, shared positioning control
  • Split-King — 76" wide: Two independent twins for couples needing independent positioning
