Med-Mizer is one of the better-known names in premium home hospital beds, mostly because of the ActiveCare, a bed that turns into a chair to help someone get in and out. Its line is broader than that, though. This guide sets out every bed on Med-Mizer’s store, who each one suits, and the honest trade-offs. We haven’t tested these beds. Specs, prices, warranty, and store terms are as Med-Mizer publishes them, checked October 9, 2026.

Which Med-Mizer bed suits whom
ActiveCare suits people who struggle to get in and out of bed, SelectCare suits clinical positioning in a furniture look, AllCare suits fall risk, RetractaBed is the lowest-priced, and ComfortWide suits larger people.
ActiveCare: for people who struggle to get in and out of bed
The ActiveCare’s “OneButtonSafeTurn” turns the bed into a full chair position so the person can get out from a seated position, and its powered height then works as a stand assist, according to Med-Mizer. It also works as a powered recliner, and the head section rises to nearly 90 degrees. Trendelenburg and reverse are optional on the Standard. This is the bed to look at if transfers are the main problem and a caregiver isn’t always there. See how it compares in our rotating beds guide.
Consider: it’s the most expensive line here, the drive system warranty is 2 years on the Fixed, Deluxe, and Deluxe Medical (versus 5 on other Med-Mizer beds), and a bed that turns into a chair needs floor space in that position; ask Med-Mizer for the footprint. The Fixed version doesn’t change height, which is fine for some people and limiting for caregivers.
SelectCare: hospital-bed features in a furniture look
A hi-low bed with wood finishes, a 10- to 25-inch deck height, one-button chair positioning, and Trendelenburg and reverse. Widths go up to 42 inches and lengths to 84. It suits someone who needs clinical positioning but wants the bed to look like bedroom furniture. See it alongside other furniture-style beds in our comparison.
AllCare and AllCare C: for fall risk
Both go down to 3.6 inches, with an optional safety mat. The AllCare rises to 25 inches (or 30 in its optional configuration), which is better for caregivers; the AllCare C tops out lower, at 20 inches (or 23.25). Med-Mizer lists one-button cardiac-chair positioning and Trendelenburg and reverse on both. Read our guide to low beds for fall risk before choosing one.
RetractaBed: the lowest-priced Med-Mizer bed
At $2,250, it’s the least expensive Med-Mizer bed on the store, with a 9-inch low height and widths up to 42 inches. Its standard rating is 500 lb, with a 600 lb option.
ComfortWide CW1000: for larger people
Med-Mizer’s bariatric bed lists a 1,000 lb maximum patient weight and a 1,150 lb safe working load, with a deck that expands from 36 to 42 to 48 inches without tools. Compare it with other heavy-duty beds in our bariatric bed guide.

Med-Mizer’s strengths are a broad line, published prices, and a long frame warranty; the trade-offs are single-sleeper sizes only, a 25% restocking fee on store returns, and high ActiveCare prices.
Strengths
- A broad line: rotating, low, furniture-style, and bariatric beds from one maker.
- Published prices on its own store, with free ground freight to the lower 48 states.
- A long published frame warranty: lifetime on welds and 15 years on bed frame mechanics.
- Wider single widths (39 and 42 inches) on most models, and up to 48 on the ComfortWide.
Trade-offs
- No couples or queen-size bed that we found; all models are single-sleeper.
- Store returns: 30 days from shipping, a 25% restocking fee, the customer pays return shipping, and mattresses are non-refundable.
- ActiveCare models cost far more than conventional hi-low beds.
- Med-Mizer beds are full-electric, which Medicare treats as a convenience feature, so they’re usually a private purchase (LCD L33820).
How buying a Med-Mizer bed works
Choose the model and size, choose a mattress made for the bed, add accessories, then buy from Med-Mizer’s store, by phone, or through a dealer, and plan delivery.
- Choose the model, width, and length. Measure the room and doorways first; use the room and doorway fit checker in our hospital bed sizes guide.
- Choose a mattress. Med-Mizer lists foam, gel memory foam, convertible air/foam, and powered air options for some models. Use a mattress made for the bed; the FDA warns that not all rails, mattresses, and frames are interchangeable (FDA).
- Add accessories such as rails, assist bars, battery backup, an integrated scale, or under-bed lighting, depending on the model.
- Buy direct or through a dealer. Med-Mizer sells on its own store and by phone, and its beds are also sold by medical equipment retailers. Compare total prices, including delivery, setup, and returns.
- Plan delivery. Ask whether in-home setup is included and how the bed arrives.
Alternatives to consider
- Transfer Master Supernal 5: a furniture-style hi-low bed with Trendelenburg in twin, full, and queen sizes. See our Transfer Master guide.
- Flexabed Hi-Low SL: a hi-low adjustable bed in sizes up to split king, for couples. See our Flexabed guide and Flexabed vs Med-Mizer.
- Prius Ai1: a clinical bariatric bed with a built-in scale and bed-exit alarm. See our bariatric bed guide.
- A Medicare-covered semi-electric bed: much cheaper if the person qualifies. See does Medicare cover hospital beds?
