The Electropedic Origin Story

Subject: Over 60 Years in the Making: It All Started in 1964

Most businesses start in a boardroom. Ours started at the 1964 World’s Fair.

That was the year our founder, Henry Kraus, saw a vision for the future of comfort and mobility; where the first displayed an electric adjustable bed "The Bed of the Future."

 He didn’t just want to sell beds; he wanted to revolutionize the way people rested and moved.

From those early days of hand-delivering adjustable sleep systems to the family becoming a leader in homecare equipment, one thing hasn't changed in 60 Our fi:

 We are a family business.

When you call us or visit our showrooms in Burbank or Phoenix, you are talking to specialists who grew up in this industry.

• Expertise: We’ve seen every innovation in mobility since the 60s.

• Value: Our first and foremost concern is to get you the right product at the right price.

The beginning of Kraus Stair Lifts

The Kraus Legacy: From Sleep Systems to Kraus Lifts

A Tradition of Excellence

While it all started with the world’s best adjustable beds, Lloyd Kraus saw a greater need in the community. He realized that comfort shouldn't stop when you get out of bed—it should follow you throughout your entire home.

Under Lloyd’s leadership, Electropedic expanded into a true "one-stop" mobility destination. We took our factory-direct expertise and applied it to everything from bariatric and hospital beds to natural organic and latex mattresses. We didn't stop there—we brought in the best in lift chairs, scooters, and wheelchairs, ensuring that our customers could move with dignity and ease.

The Next Generation: Kraus Stair Lifts

Today, that family tradition continues with Lloyd’Kraus and his son, Zachary Kraus. Recognizing that the stairs can be the biggest hurdle to staying in the home you love, Electropedic established a specialized division: Kraus Stair Lifts.
