Proactive Medical Protopia Long-Term Care Bed System
Model: Proactive Medical Protopia LTC Bed Series
Availability: In Stock – Ready to Ship — Standard, EXP & Bari EXP Configurations Available
Fully Adjustable Comfort & Safety for Long-Term Care Living
Getting in and out of bed safely, staying comfortably positioned, and having a surface that adapts as needs change — that's what the Protopia Long-Term Care Bed Series from Proactive Medical is built for. Tool-free length adjustments and a frame that lowers close to the floor help reduce roll-out risk, while a higher elevation setting makes transfers and everyday care easier on the body.
Powered by smooth linear actuators and an intuitive hand control, the Protopia series lets you adjust head, foot, and overall bed height with the touch of a button. A heavy-duty grid deck keeps air moving underneath for a cooler, longer-lasting mattress surface, and the series scales from a standard layout up through wider bariatric configurations to fit a range of body types and care settings.
Key Features
- Tool-Free Expandable Length: Adjusts smoothly to 80", 84", or 88" to fit changing needs without new hardware.
- Multi-Width Options (Select Models): EXP and Bari EXP models expand from a standard 36" width out to 42" or 48" for added room.
- Low Safety Height Setting: Lowers down to as little as 7" off the floor to help reduce roll-out injury risk.
- Higher Working Height: Elevates up to 31" for easier transfers, adjustments, and linen changes.
- Heavy-Duty Steel Grid Deck: Improves airflow underneath the mattress to reduce moisture and extend mattress life.
- Locking Caster Wheels: Color-coded, high-impact casters anchor the frame securely during transfers.
Specialist Insight: When choosing between the Standard, EXP, and Bari EXP configurations, match the frame's width and weight capacity to the individual's needs rather than defaulting to the largest option — a wider frame takes up meaningfully more room space. If you do choose an EXP or Bari EXP frame, be sure to select head and footboard accessories rated for the same expanded width so everything aligns cleanly once assembled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "expandable length" and "expandable width" mean for this bed?
A: Expandable Length — every model has built-in, tool-free extendable brackets, so you can adjust the length to 80", 84", or 88" without buying a new frame.
Expandable Width — the EXP and Bari EXP models have side expansion slides built into the deck. The bed can stay at a standard 36" width for smaller rooms, or be expanded to 42" or 48" for a wider sleeping surface.
Q: Do these packages include headboards, footboards, and side rails?
A: These packages include the full electronic bed frame and motor mechanism. Matching head/foot boards, safety rails, and assist bars are sold separately as accessories, so you can customize the final setup. Shop Protopia Bed Accessories & Replacement Parts →
Q: What happens if there's a power outage?
A: The Protopia series runs on a standard 110V–120V AC wall outlet. The linear actuator control box has an internal emergency backup power slot — installing a standard 9V battery lets the bed still be lowered flat to safety if power is lost.
