At MedEquip Health, we know that every family’s situation is different. Some customers are drawn to luxury hospital beds like the elegant Signature Series by Assured Comfort or the Orin Bed by Star Sleep, with features like upholstered headboards, massage functions, and premium styling.

But for most customers, the top priority is this: A high-quality bed and mattress that just works - every time.

Why We Trust Span America

After nearly a decade working directly with Span America (a Savaria company), I can confidently say these are the beds I’d choose for my own family. Their reliability, ease of use, and thoughtful clinical features set them apart from everything else on the market.

Mattress First, Frame Second

While hospital bed frames are important, it’s the mattress that plays the biggest role in comfort, skin health, and overall quality of life.

Our Top Pick: Span Care Convertible Mattress

The Span Care Convertible is our most recommended wound-treatment mattress for home use.

✅ Key Features:

  • Powered & Non-Powered Modes: Can operate with or without the optional pump

  • No Flat During Power Outages: Retains air, protecting users even when power is lost

  • Treats Stage 4 Pressure Injuries: Clinical-grade wound therapy at home

  • Fits Fitted Sheets: Unlike many air mattresses, this model supports fitted sheets thanks to its foam-encased air chamber design

This mattress is ideal for users at risk of skin breakdown, pressure ulcers, or for anyone who needs long hours of bed rest.

Then Choose the Right Bed Frame

Once your mattress is selected, pair it with a compatible Span America bed frame. Two of our favorites include:

Advantage ReadyWide Bed

  • Width options: 35", 39", or 42"

  • Slat deck for support and airflow

  • Trendelenburg, Reverse Trendelenburg, and Comfort Chair functions

Standard Advantage Bed

  • Fixed 80" x 35" size

  • Grid deck design

  • Same clinical positioning features as the ReadyWide

Key Features That Set Span America Beds Apart

  • Trendelenburg Positioning: Helps caregivers reposition patients easily

  • Comfort Chair Mode: Converts the bed into a recliner for sitting upright

  • Motor Lockout with Staff Controls: Prevents unsafe bed height changes

  • 5-Year Warranty on motors and actuators - among the best in the industry

These features enhance safety, reduce caregiver strain, and provide peace of mind in long-term care.
