Hospital Beds

Standard hospital beds typically measure around 36 inches wide and 80 inches long. However, sizes can vary, and bariatric beds are wider to accommodate larger patients.

• Manual Hospital Beds: Adjusted using hand cranks for raising or lowering bed sections.
• Semi-Electric Hospital Beds: Feature electric controls for adjusting the bed's height and position, but manual adjustments for other functions.
• Full-Electric Hospital Beds: All adjustments (height, head, and foot sections) are electrically controlled.
• Low Beds: Designed for fall-risk patients, these can be lowered close to the floor.
• Bariatric Beds: Larger, reinforced beds designed for heavier patients.

A 3-crank hospital bed is a type of manual bed with three separate cranks, each controlling one of the bed's main functions: one for adjusting the head section, one for the foot section, and one for the height of the bed.

Hospital beds differ from regular beds in several key ways:

• Adjustability: Hospital beds have adjustable sections (head, foot, height).
• Mobility: Many hospital beds are on wheels for easy movement.
• Side Rails: They typically have side rails for patient safety.
• Special Mattresses: Often used with mattresses designed for pressure relief and medical needs.
• Durability and Cleanliness: Built to withstand frequent cleaning and heavy usage.

Supplies can include bed sheets, waterproof mattress protectors, bed rails, overbed tables, and pressure-relieving mattresses or overlays to prevent bedsores.

Consider the patient's medical needs, the bed's adjustability features, ease of use, size and space in the home, and whether additional features like bed rails or specialised mattresses are needed.

Hospital beds provide adjustable head and foot sections to improve patient comfort, assist with breathing, circulation, and pressure relief, and facilitate caregiver care and transfers.

Modern hospital beds may offer features like electronic controls for position adjustments, built-in scales, side rails for safety, and pressure-relieving mattresses to prevent sores.

A hospital bed might be needed if a patient requires medical care requiring frequent position changes, has mobility issues, or needs additional support not provided by a regular bed.
