Yes. The “NO PANELS” wording is important here.
For Joerns COMFEXT-XT4280 – Width Extension Kit (42 × 80), UCXT Frame – Hardware Only (No Panels):
- The kit is used to increase the width of the UltraCare XT bed from the standard width to approximately 42 inches.
- It provides the bed-frame width extensions and installation hardware, but does not include the head/foot panels.
- Joerns specifies that the 42" UltraWide kit adds width to the mattress-support area and is intended to provide a wider, more comfortable sleeping surface and safer repositioning. The 42" extension weighs about 34.5 lb.
- The panels are separate components. Joerns specifically notes that the appropriate UltraWide head panel is needed to maintain the applicable bed-system entrapment compliance when used with the UltraWide configuration
