The Ascend Hi Low adjustable bed is not a standard adjustable base — it's a purpose-built hi-low home care adjustable bed that does something virtually no other adjustable bed on the market can do: raise and lower the entire bed frame from near floor level to standing transfer height, while also articulating the head and foot sections independently. For seniors, post-surgery recovery patients, and anyone with limited mobility, this single capability changes everything about getting in and out of bed safely.
With 7" of total height adjustment, up to 7 degrees of full-bed tilt (Trendelenburg positioning), head and foot articulation, zero gravity preset, anti-snore position, and whisper-quiet motors — the Ascend delivers a complete clinical-grade sleep system in a design that looks at home in any bedroom. No institutional look, no compromise on comfort.

Who Is the Ascend For?
The Ergomotion Ascend is designed for three specific situations where a standard adjustable base simply isn't enough:
Seniors aging in place who need a bed that adjusts to their height for safe, independent entry and exit without caregiver assistance
Post-surgery recovery patients who need precise positioning — Trendelenburg tilt, zero gravity, and elevated head positions — during recovery at home
Caregivers and home care environments a home care bed needs to lower to floor level for assisted transfers and raise to working height to reduce caregiver back strain
Unlike hospital beds that look clinical and feel institutional, the Ascend is designed to integrate into a home bedroom environment — with a clean profile, standard mattress compatibility, and the same premium features found in lifestyle adjustable bases.
Compatible Mattresses
The Ascend works with most mattress types including memory foam, latex, hybrid, and air adjustable mattresses which are much more comfortable then a standard hospital bed mattress. Our air mattresses are far more comfortable then a cheap hospital bed air mattress. For the best experience, pair the Ascend with one of our flexible foam or air mattresses — all of which articulate smoothly through the full range of hi-low and head/foot motion without damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a high-low adjustable bed?
A high-low adjustable bed raises and lowers the entire bed frame height — not just the head and foot sections. This is the defining feature that separates home care adjustable beds from standard lifestyle adjustable bases. The Ascend adjusts up to 7" in total height, allowing the bed to lower close to the floor for fall prevention and raise to a comfortable standing transfer height for safe, independent entry and exit.
What is Trendelenburg positioning?
Trendelenburg positioning tilts the entire sleep surface so the feet are elevated above the head. The Ascend offers up to 7 degrees of full-bed tilt. This position is used in clinical settings to improve circulation, reduce lower extremity edema (swelling), and support specific post-surgical recovery protocols. It's one of the features that makes the Ascend a genuine home care bed rather than a standard adjustable base.
How does the Ascend compare be used without a bed frame?
Yes — the Ascend's zero clearance design allows it to sit directly on the floor or use the adjustable legs without a traditional bed frame. This is particularly useful for fall prevention, as it eliminates the gap between the mattress and the floor. The base can also be used with compatible bed frames if preferred.
What mattress sizes is the Ascend available in?
The Ergomotion Ascend is available in Twin XL, Full, Queen, and Split King configurations.
Is the optional support rail included?
The support rail is an optional add-on, not included with the base. It attaches to the side of the Ascend to provide a stable grip point for transfers — particularly useful for seniors who need additional support when getting in and out of bed independently.
How does the Ascend compare to adjustable hospital beds?
The Ascend delivers the core functional features of a hospital bed — hi-low height adjustment, Trendelenburg tilt, head and foot articulation — in a design built for home use. Unlike hospital beds, the Ascend has a clean, residential aesthetic, works with standard mattresses, and includes lifestyle features like zero gravity presets, programmable memory positions, and under-bed lighting. It's the bridge between a clinical hospital bed and a premium home adjustable base.
Does the Ascend have with voice control?
The voice control is not available on the Ergomotion Ascend. Voice control is available on the Dawnhouse and Luxurious adjustable bed models
So are these bases basically the same as electric hospital beds?
Yes- but with a much more pleasing aesthetic.
