Span America | ReadyWide Adjustable Bariatric Bed | Integrated Width Expansion, Smart Stop Safety Technology and Advanced Clinical Positioning
At Alto Med Supply, we offer the Span America ReadyWide Bed, an advanced adjustable bed designed to deliver exceptional comfort, flexibility, and clinical positioning support for a wide range of care environments.
Engineered with innovative technology and user-friendly functionality, the ReadyWide Bed helps improve both resident comfort and caregiver efficiency in long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and home care settings.
One of the standout features of the Span America ReadyWide Bed is its integrated width expansion system, which allows the bed to easily adjust from 39 inches to 42 inches with just a few simple clicks.
This flexible design provides additional space and comfort for users while still allowing the bed to navigate through standard doorways when needed.
The bed also includes Smart Stop technology, an intelligent safety feature that pauses the bed at preset height positions to support safer transfers, controlled repositioning, and easier accessibility during patient care.
Designed to meet varying user needs, the ReadyWide Bed is available in two weight capacity options.
The standard model supports up to 500 lbs, while the heavy-duty version accommodates up to 650 lbs, making it an ideal solution for bariatric care and higher-capacity requirements.
With its durable construction, advanced positioning capabilities, and customizable design, the Span America ReadyWide Bed delivers a dependable and versatile solution for modern healthcare and home care environments.

What a life saver. The chair arrived in a big box. Was very easy to assemble. Just unfold and attach the foot pedals. Mom is now able to cruise around her complex visiting friends and participating in activities.
