Auto-Touch Overbed Tables

The Auto-Touch line from Invacare brings a practical solution to a small but constant challenge in patient care: keeping meals, medications, tissues, and personal items within easy reach of someone who spends much of the day in bed or a recliner. For caregivers, home health providers, and long-term care settings, the right overbed table means fewer strained reaches and a more independent, dignified daily routine for the patient.

At the center of this collection is the Invacare Auto-Touch Overbed Table (model 6417), finished in a warm walnut wood grain that softens the clinical look of a hospital room and blends comfortably into home environments. Its height adjusts from 29 to 45 inches, so it clears most standard beds, recliners, and wheelchairs, and the 15 x 30-inch laminate top gives ample room for a meal tray, a laptop, or reading materials while remaining easy to wipe clean. The surface holds up to 25 pounds and sits flat as a non-tilt design—a straightforward choice when stability matters more than an angled reading surface.

Buyers often ask about the base: a C-shaped or wheeled base is what lets an overbed table roll into position and tuck partly beneath the bed frame, positioning the top directly over the patient. When choosing, measure your bed height and clearance beneath the frame to confirm the table's range and base fit comfortably.
