When it comes to choosing a hospital bed that’s reliable, functional, and clinically advanced, Span America, a subsidiary of Savaria, consistently stands out. At MedEquip Health, this brand remains one of our most recommended — and for good reason.

Our founder spent nearly a decade working directly with Span America, so we know their product line inside and out. Their beds may not come with luxury finishes or upholstered headboards — but what they do offer is rock-solid performance, safety, and adaptability for home healthcare needs.

Top Pick: The Advantage ReadyWide Bed

The Advantage ReadyWide is Span America's flagship bed. It’s incredibly versatile and built with the caregiver and patient in mind.

✅ Key Benefits:

• Width Options: Accommodates 35", 39", or 42" mattresses
  → Great if you want flexibility for now or the future.

• Slat Deck Design: Offers better airflow and weight distribution.

• Comfort Chair Feature: Transforms the bed into a recliner position — great for patients who sit upright often.

• Full Clinical Positioning: Fully electric controls for head, foot, and height adjustments.

Need a Simpler Option? Try the Standard Advantage Bed

If you don’t need multiple width settings, the standard Advantage Bed provides all the same clinical features but comes in a fixed 80" x 35" size.

• Uses a grid deck instead of slats

• More budget-friendly

• Still includes the comfort chair position, full electric controls, and excellent durability

What Sets Span America Beds Apart?

• ✅ Clinical Positioning Functions — beyond basic head/foot elevation

• ✅ Comfort Chair Mode — built-in recliner configuration

• ✅ Motor Lockout Safety Feature — lock the bed in the low position overnight to help prevent falls

• ✅ 5-Year Warranty on motors and actuators — one of the strongest in the industry

• ✅ Peace of Mind — These beds just work, every time.
