Encore ReadyWide Low Hospital Bed

The Encore ReadyWide is a low hospital bed with width expansion — expanding from standard to wide configuration to support bariatric patients and improve caregiver access.

The Encore ReadyWide Low (from $2,697) is a low-profile hospital bed with Smart Stop auto-pause safety, ReadyWide push-button width expansion to 42 inches, and 500 or 650-pound capacity options. Features trapezoidal slat profile for superior strength, foot-end controller with staff lockout, and antimicrobial coating. Optional white-glove delivery from SlumberSource.

ReadyWide Integrated Expansion

Two-click expansion system: click once to expand to 39 inches, click again for 42 inches. The expanders navigate narrow doorways and provide a wider surface for safer, easier transfers and daily care activities.

Smart Safety Features

Smart Stop

Low-position auto pause for under-the-bed safety prevents the bed from lowering onto objects or people beneath it.

Staff Lockout

Foot-end controller with staff lockout prevents unauthorized adjustment of bed functions.

Trapezoidal Slat Profile

The trapezoidal slat design provides unmatched strength, ventilation, and ease of cleaning compared to flat or grid decks.
