I used a 500 lb. linear acuator and made a lift for my bed but don't know if I will use it. I originally planned to use gas springs, after building this I think I might go back. It is heavy (not a problem because I have 3000 lb. to work with) and bulky (problem because space is at such a premium).

The springs come in much higher weights, I have seen them up to 500 lbs. That should give you a capacity that makes the bed a one handed operation with much less space and weight.
