Product Details

Protekt Akra Bariatric™ Bed Series – Full-Electric Bariatric Hospital Beds in 42", 48" & 54" Widths

The Protekt Akra Bariatric™ Bed Series is a heavy-duty, full electric hospital bed for home use designed for individuals who need extra width, higher weight capacity, and dependable adjustability. Built for homecare and long-term care environments, this bariatric bed delivers strength, flexibility, and comfort with multiple size options and quiet DC performance.

Available in 42", 48", and 54" widths, the Akra Bariatric series provides expanded sleep surfaces and reinforced support to help improve positioning, transfers, and overall daily usability.

Full Electric Positioning for Daily Comfort

This bariatric hospital bed includes full-electric adjustment of head, foot, and height positioning using an easy-to-use hand pendant. Users and caregivers can adjust positioning to support comfort, relaxation, and daily care routines.

Electric height adjustment helps improve transfer safety and reduces caregiver strain during repositioning, dressing, and hygiene care.

Multiple Width Options for Better Fit

The Protekt Akra Bariatric Bed is available in three width configurations to accommodate different body types and room layouts:

  • 42" width – supports up to 600 lbs
  • 48" width – supports up to 750 lbs
  • 54" width – supports up to 1000 lbs

The wider sleep surface allows for improved comfort, easier repositioning, and better long-term usability.

Heavy-Duty Steel Slat Deck

The square tube steel slat deck provides a strong, even support surface for bariatric mattresses while eliminating sagging and reducing maintenance. The design is also easy to clean and supports long-term durability in both home and facility environments.

Quiet DC Motor Performance

The Akra Bariatric series uses a low-voltage DC motor system designed for quieter operation and reduced weight. Integrated Hi/Lo motors built into the bed ends allow for smooth height adjustment, improving safety and caregiver access.

Designed for Easier Setup and Transport

The 42" model is one of the lightest bariatric beds in its class at approximately 200 lbs and ships in only two boxes, making it easier to transport, deliver, and assemble. The design supports simplified setup and maintenance for homecare environments.
