- Overall bed height is set manually, keeping the mechanism simple
- Slat deck gives no-sag mattress support with no links to connect

Powered Positioning, Manually Set Height
The Drive Competitor II Manual Height Adjustable Bed drives the head and foot sections with a self-contained motor worked from the large glow-in-the-dark pendant, while overall bed height is adjusted manually. The slat deck supports the mattress without sagging and wipes clean. It shares its rails and bed ends with the Competitor II Semi Electric Bed, so accessories carry across the family. The included half rails are the Drive rails made for this frame, and the innerspring mattress completes the setup.

Why Choose the Drive Competitor II Manual Height Bed?
Choose this Competitor II when the powered adjustments you need are head and foot, and a manually set height is no hardship — the height is typically set once at setup. You get the same pendant, the same slat deck and the same rail options as the crank-height model, in the family's lightest frame. Bought bare, it is the clean starting point for the exact setup you need.
Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this bed fully manual?
No. Only the overall height is set manually. The head and foot sections are motor-driven from the hand pendant, so day-to-day repositioning is powered.
What is included in this package?
The bed frame, a pair of half rails, and an innerspring mattress — the configuration Drive specifies for this package. Casters remain optional and are not included.
Are casters included?
No. On this model the casters are optional and are not included with the bare bed, unlike the Competitor II Semi Electric Bed, which includes them.
What happens during a power failure?
A 9V battery located in the hand pendant (battery not included) lowers the head and foot sections to a horizontal position.
Which rails fit this bed?
Drive's full and half rails made for the 15561/15571 beds fit this frame. Rails are sold separately.
How is this different from the Competitor II Semi Electric Bed (15571)?
Both beds motorize the head and foot sections. The 15571 sets its height with a hand crank and includes casters; this 15561 sets its height manually, ships without casters, and is lighter at 138 lb.
How much weight can the bed hold?
The patient weight capacity is 350 lb and the total weight capacity is 450 lb, evenly distributed — that total includes the occupant, mattress, side rails, trapeze, accessories and personal effects.
