Our Verdict
The Flexabed Hi-Low SL bridges the gap between a luxury adjustable bed and a medical bed. Its hi-low height adjustment (12" to 24") provides the safety benefit of a low position for fall prevention without looking like medical equipment. The sleek, modern frame design pairs with premium upholstered headboards, making it the most aesthetically pleasing medical bed we've tested. It lacks Trendelenburg positioning but includes everything most home users need.

User Reviews
Beautiful and functional
My client wanted a medical bed that didn't look medical. The Flexabed Hi-Low SL with the gray linen headboard is gorgeous. No one visiting their home realizes it's a medical bed.
The low position is a lifesaver
The bed lowers to just 12 inches. When I fall out of bed (it happens), the impact is minimal. My PT recommended this specific model. Very happy with it.
