## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Nice Choice!
*by D***. on July 5, 2020*

I have Parkinson's and had trouble turning over and getting in and out of bed.This bed has made it easier with sturdy half side rails. The control lets one raise/lower the head or the "foot" end that raises one's knees. It would be similar if one put a pillow under the knees. The side rails can be raised/lowered.I have no problem getting in or out of bed with the side rails up since they are half rails. Personally, I would find it difficult to lower the rails once I'm in the bed.For me the mattress is a bit hard, but that's a personal preference. Someone else may find it perfect, I have ordered a one inch thick foam topper and that should do it.

### ⭐ Bum deal
*by M***E on February 25, 2020*

The bed arrived way later than delivery due by date. I contacted the seller because we started to become concerned. They were not helpful in any way. The instructions were awful we ended up hiring someone to put the bed together. Mind you this purchase was for an elderly dementia patient. I could not imagine what would have happened if I was not involved to assist. As a nurse practitioner I do not recommend purchasing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very good quality "home" hospital bed!!!  Not fully electric!
*by M***T on March 9, 2015*

Outstanding home use hospital bed with therapeutic mattress. The description on Amazon is very thorough so I will not repeat it. I bought this bed January 3, 2015 after doing tons of research on hospital beds. I have really enjoyed sleeping in this bed with a therapeutic mattress for the past 2 months. The bed arrived on a pallet in 4 boxes. It weighs 300 lbs. I am a 5'2" lady so I removed the boxes on the driveway and brought in the bed in pieces that I could carry. Assembly was easy and I watched the youtube video a few times before assembling which helped. The bed is very quiet while the electric motor moves the head (to sit up) and foot (to raise your knees) of the bed. There was an issue with raising the height of the bed attached to the casters on the floor. I was surprised to find only one shaft to lift the bed height higher for the head only. There is room for another shaft for the foot height but it isn't included. The directions don't show it. So I could only raise the head end of the bed higher and the motor for that is very noisy. I ended up raising the height of the bed electrically for the head and used the hand crank for the height of the foot end of the bed. It was not a deal breaker for me and it comes with safety pins which I installed when I was happy with the height. If you are taking care of someone and need to raise and lower the bed, this would be a deal breaker. Overall, I love the bed but it is advertised as a "full electric" bed. It is not. The bed is very nice quality and there are replacement parts available.
