A hospital bed is an essential piece of equipment that can make a significant difference in the life of someone who needs extra medical care at home. Whether you're a caregiver or a patient, selecting the right hospital bed for your home can be overwhelming. With so many options available, it's important to understand your needs and preferences to make an informed decision. In this guide, we will discuss the factors to consider when buying a hospital bed for your home.
The first step in selecting a hospital bed is to understand the different types of beds available. There are three main types of hospital beds: manual, semi-electric, and fully electric.
Manual Hospital Beds - These are the most basic hospital beds and are manually operated. They require someone to turn a crank to adjust the bed's height, head, and foot sections. Manual beds are less expensive than electric models, but they require more physical effort to operate.
Semi-Electric Hospital Beds - These beds have an electric motor that adjusts the bed's head and foot sections, but the height is still manually adjusted. Semi-electric beds are a good option for those who need to frequently adjust the bed's positioning but don't want to spend the extra money on a fully electric bed.
Fully Electric Hospital Beds - These beds are entirely powered by an electric motor, allowing the height, head, and foot sections to be adjusted with a remote control. Fully electric beds are the most convenient and comfortable option, but they are also the most expensive.
Now that you understand the different types of hospital beds available, here are some factors to consider when selecting the right bed for your needs.
Patient's Health Condition - Consider the patient's health condition when selecting a hospital bed. Patients who require frequent repositioning, have trouble getting in and out of bed, or have limited mobility will benefit from a fully electric bed. Patients who are more mobile may be able to use a manual or semi-electric bed.
Size - Hospital beds come in different sizes, including twin, full, queen, and king. Consider the size of the patient and the available space in the room when selecting the bed's size.
Weight Capacity - Hospital beds have weight limits, so it's essential to choose a bed that can support the patient's weight. Make sure to check the weight capacity of the bed before purchasing.
Accessories - Consider what accessories are available for the bed. Some common accessories include bed rails, overbed tables, and trapeze bars. Make sure to select accessories that will help the patient's condition and improve their quality of life.
Cost - Hospital beds can be expensive, so consider your budget when selecting a bed. Manual beds are the least expensive, followed by semi-electric and fully electric beds. However, keep in mind that a more expensive bed may be worth the investment if it improves the patient's comfort and health. ProHeal also has financing available to make the purchase easier on you.

In addition to the factors to consider when purchasing a hospital bed for home use, it's worth discussing two specific types of hospital beds: the Ultra Low Full Electric Hospital Bed and the Ultra Wide Adjustable Electric Hospital Bed.
The Ultra Low Full Electric Hospital Bed is a type of hospital bed that is designed to be as low to the ground as possible. This bed is ideal for patients who are at risk of falling or have difficulty getting in and out of bed. The Ultra Low Full Electric Hospital Bed has a range of height adjustments, allowing caregivers to raise and lower the bed to the most comfortable height for the patient. This bed also has a fully electric motor, which makes it easy to adjust the position of the bed without having to manually crank it.
The Ultra Wide Adjustable Electric Hospital Bed is a type of hospital bed that is designed to be wider than a standard hospital bed. This bed is ideal for patients who require more space, such as bariatric patients or those who need to sleep with medical equipment. The Ultra Wide Adjustable Electric Hospital Bed has a weight capacity of up to 550lbs, making it suitable for patients of all sizes. This bed also has a range of adjustable features, such as head and footrests, to provide maximum comfort for the patient.
At ProHeal, we offer both the Ultra Low Full Electric Hospital Bed and the Ultra Wide Adjustable Electric Hospital Bed. These beds are designed to provide maximum comfort and support for patients, while also making it easier for caregivers to provide care. Our team of experts can assist you in selecting the best hospital bed for your specific needs and budget. Additionally, we offer a warranty on all of our hospital beds, including the Ultra Low Full Electric Hospital Bed and the Ultra Wide Adjustable Electric Hospital Bed. Our warranty covers any defects or malfunctions that may occur during normal use of the product.
In conclusion, a hospital bed for home use can provide comfort, support, and safety for patients who need extra medical care. When selecting a hospital bed, consider the patient's needs and health condition, size and weight capacity, accessories, and cost.
