Read Our Bed Buying Guides →How to Choose a Hospital Bed for Home Care
Choosing a hospital bed starts with how the bed will be used, the amount of assistance the user needs and the space available in the home. Understanding a few basic features can make comparing hospital beds much easier.
Consider the Type of Adjustment
Full-electric hospital beds use powered controls to adjust the head, foot and bed height. Semi-electric beds typically provide powered head and foot positioning with manual height adjustment. Powered height adjustment can be especially useful when caregivers need to change the working height of the bed.
Check the Bed Height Range
Compare both the minimum and maximum deck height. A lower position may be useful when getting into or out of bed, while raising the mattress platform can provide a more convenient working height for caregivers during everyday care.
Choose the Correct Width and Weight Capacity
Standard hospital beds are commonly about 36 inches wide, but wider and higher-capacity beds are available when additional space or support is needed. Always compare the manufacturer's stated weight capacity and dimensions with the needs of the intended user.
Think About Transfers and Caregiver Access
Consider how the user transfers to and from the bed and whether a wheelchair, patient lift or other transfer equipment will be used. The room should provide enough clearance for caregivers and any equipment that needs to approach the bed.
Select a Compatible Mattress and Accessories
Hospital beds require a mattress that fits the bed platform correctly. Depending on the user's needs, options may include foam mattresses or more specialized pressure-management surfaces. Bed rails, assist devices and other accessories should also be verified for compatibility with the specific bed model.
Measure the Room Before Ordering
Check the bed's overall dimensions rather than relying only on mattress size. Allow additional room for side rails, controls, caregivers, transfer equipment and movement around the bed. Doorways and the delivery path should also be considered.
Need Help Choosing?
Hospital beds can look similar while differing considerably in height range, capacity, positioning and accessory compatibility. If you're unsure which model fits your situation, All Points Medical can help you compare the options before you order.
