A patient repositioning system () for a bariatric bed () includes a mattress () having a head end (), a foot end (), and an upper surface (), a sheet () residing on the upper surface (), a drive mechanism () operatively coupled to the sheet () and adapted to pull the sheet () toward the head end (), and a housing () which holds the drive mechanism (). The mattress () further includes a body portion () and at least one operatively coupled attached side bolster () located along one longitudinal side () of the body portion (), thereby to widen the upper surface () of the mattress () so as to accommodate standard bariatric dimensions. Alternatively, instead of a side bolster (), the invention contemplates the use of transition pieces () near the head end (), a rotatable housing (), or a telescopically expandable/contractable housing (), thereby to expand to accommodate bariatric dimensions and contract to reduced dimensions so as to fit through a standard size doorway.
