Hospital Bed Types: Which One Is Right for You? 

There is only the ideal bed for your particular requirements, available space, and financial constraints—there is no one correct solution. This is a simple summary of each type that we have.  

Fully Electric Medical Beds  

A handheld remote controls the head, foot, and height. Just a button press, no effort or cranking. The most practical choice for caregivers who must change positions multiple times a day and patients who spend a lot of time in bed. Ideal for: Patients with limited mobility, long-term care, and recuperation from surgery.

Semi-Electric Hospital Beds 

A manual crank is used to modify height, while the head and foot are electrically adjustable. A workable compromise for patients whose caregivers are able to manually adjust height but who require frequent upper-body movement. Ideal for: Home recuperation and budget-conscious purchasers.

Manual Hospital Beds 

A hand crank is used to modify the head, foot, and height. When electrical access is restricted or adjustments are rare, this is the most economical alternative for hospital bed frames and a dependable option. Ideal for: Low-cost purchasers and basic care arrangements.

Bariatric Hospital Beds 

Hospital bed frames that are wider, more robust, and designed to safely accommodate greater weight capabilities. Heavy-duty construction ensures patient safety while maintaining the same head, foot, and height flexibility as normal beds. A bariatric hospital bed is necessary for safety if the patient weighs more than the regular weight rating. Wider sleeping surfaces and higher weight requirements are ideal.

Stand-Assist & Pivot Beds for Home Care 

Designed to make it safer and easier for patients to transition from lying to sitting to standing. These beds relieve caregivers of physical strain during transfers and lower the chance of falls. Ideal for: Patients at risk of falls and caregivers doing everyday transfers by themselves.

4 Things to Know Before You Buy a Hospital Bed for Home Use 

1. How long will the patient lie in bed? 

The importance of electric adjustment increases with the amount of time spent in bed. A manual or semi-electric model is suitable for a patient who solely sleeps in bed. Full electric convenience will be beneficial to someone who spends most of the day in bed. 

2. Who is giving care, and how frequently? 

Upgrading from a manual hospital bed to a fully electronic one is nearly always worthwhile if a family member is the caregiver and adjustments are made frequently throughout the day. It makes the entire procedure easier to handle and safeguards the caregiver's back. 

3. What is permitted in the room? 

Compared to typical home beds, hospital bed frames are longer and wider. Before you come, measure your room, taking into account the width of the doorways and the amount of room on both sides for a caregiver to operate. When you visit, our experts can assist you in working through the details. 

4. Which accessories are required? 

The bed alone is not enough for most settings. Fall prevention is aided by bed safety railings. Meals and everyday necessities are easily accessible with an overbed table. Before completing your order, see what is available next to your bed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospital Beds 

What distinguishes a hospital bed that is fully electric from one that is only partially electric? 

A complete electric hospital bed with remote controls for height, foot, and head adjustments. The head and foot of a semi-electric bed are powered by electricity, but the height is controlled by a manual crank. Full electric is the more sensible option if height modifications occur regularly. 

Does insurance cover hospital beds used at home? 

Depending on your plan, diagnosis, and medical records, it might be. Before making any decisions, we advise getting in touch with your doctor and insurer immediately to clarify your particular coverage.

Does a hospital bed frame require a specific type of mattress? 

Indeed. When head and foot modifications are made, a typical household mattress will not flex properly. To operate safely with the frame, you need a mattress made specifically for hospital beds.
