Our Verdict
The Transfer Master Companion HD is purpose-built for heavier individuals who need medical-grade adjustability at home. With a 600 lb capacity (or 850 lbs in the SHD configuration), reinforced steel frame, and heavy-duty Linak actuators, it provides the same 5-function positioning as the Supernal 5 but with the structural integrity to support bariatric patients safely. Like all Transfer Master beds, it offers residential styling options so it doesn't look like a hospital bed.
