Just got the Drive Solite bed for my mom, and wow, what a game-changer! The electric controls are super smooth and quiet. Assembly was surprisingly easy, and mom says it's incredibly comfortable. Definitely worth every penny for the peace of mind it gives us.

Description

Who is it for?
- An adult who needs help to raise the back or the legs.
- Weight capacity is 450 lb (204 kg). The person limit is 421 lb (191 kg).
- Not for a user under 88.2 lbs (40 kg) or outside 57.5 to 79.1 inches tall.
- Not the 15033, the 15235, or the 15005LP.
Will it fit the room?
- Deck height, no mattress: 11.6 to 28.2 inches.
- Platform 35.6 by 79.1 inches. Overall length 87.8 inches.
- Width: 38 inches without rails, 39.96 inches with them.
- The leg section extends the deck to 85.6 inches. The mattress is 80 inches, or 84 with the extension out.
- Lock the extension fully in or fully out, mattress inside the side and foot retainers.
- Four sections, each under 55 lbs. The backrest is heaviest at 50.7 lbs, and only qualified personnel should assemble it.
Which mattress and rails are safe on it?
- Mattress: 36 by 80 inches, or 84 with the extension out. A wrong size widens rail gaps.
- The matching mattress is the Drive innerspring 15006, 36 by 80 by 6 inches.
- This frame only: Grange rails 15006LEXRAIL, short handle 15006LSHRTRAIL, and standard handle 15006LPSTDRAIL.
- A care team decides whether rails are used. Handle 15006LPSTDRAIL can trap a finger against the mattress retainers when the backrest rises.
- Duty cycle: 2 minutes on, then at least 18 minutes off. See Health Canada's hospital bed safety page.

Frequently asked questions
What happens in a power cut?
Nothing moves until power returns. There is no crank, and a leg-rest battery box is only a factory option.
Can the foot tilt down?
Yes, 0 to 12 degrees, with a key lock per function. The shipping handset omits head-down tilt; a 10-button handset adds that and auto contour.
What is not included?
Transport stands are included. A mattress, the Grange rails and both grab handles are not.
Should I buy or rent?
For a short stay, see hospital bed rental. We do not claim this model is in the rental fleet.
Funding may help: see who may help pay.
Bought from a dealer, the warranty is 1 year on parts. A purchase from Drive itself is 10 years on the frame, 5 years on the mechanism and 2 years on the electrics.
