What Is A Hospital Bed?

Hospital Beds are specially designed for individuals in need of some form of health care. These hospital beds have specific features both for the comfort and well-being of the individual and for the convenience of caretakers. Hospital beds and other similar types of beds are used not only in hospitals but in other healthcare facilities and settings, such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and in-home healthcare.

Sherman Oaks Medical Supplies carries a wide variety of types & brands of hospital beds. From regular Semi Electric Hospital Beds & Full Electric Hospital beds to Home Care Hospital Beds, we have it all! We carry manufacturers, such as Invacare, Joerns, & Basic American. Sherman Oaks Medical Supplies also offers the option to Rent your very own Hospital Bed.

A Hospital Bed is a specialty bed that features adjustments to raise and lower the head and foot sections of the bed. These are the standard features that a hospital bed frame will have, but there are a variety of beds that have more positions and functions available. A key function that is always recommended is the base adjustment. This adjustment raises the entire bed frame up and down allowing for easy transfer from in and out of the bed. When the patient is getting into the bed frame, the frame can be lowered. By lowering the frame the user is then able to sit safely into the bed as well as in the correct position. By not having this feature, shorter users can not lie down in the center of the bed, and as a result, they risk falling out of the bed frame. When getting out of the bed frame, users with trouble standing from a sitting position can raise the base of the bed to stand up easily. Hospital Beds that have all 3 of these features (Head, Foot, & Base) are called full electric hospital beds. Full electric hospital beds are the most popular beds on the market.

Types Of Hospital Beds Available

  • Basic Hospital Bed: A basic hospital bed is an electric bed that can come fully electric, with an electric head, foot, and base. The bed frame can also come in a semi-electric which has an electric head and foot, but to adjust the entire base of the bed you would need to do it manually with a hand crank. Basic hospital beds are great for people with short-term needs or for those who just need simple assistance with getting in and out of bed. Basic Hospital beds are great because they are quality long lasting beds that are cost-effective. To us, we consider it the bed that will "get the job done". Basic Hospital beds feature railings on both sides of the bed in 2 different styles. The half-side rail covers the head section of the bed on the left and right sides. This is recommended for users who need something to grab onto when transferring into and out of the bed, and to also use when laying down for re-positioning.

  • Long Term Care / Homecare Hospital Bed: A long-term care hospital bed takes the core functions of a basic bed and adds several more while making it perfect for home care use. A long-term care bed features a solid flat deck. A solid flat deck is the base that the mattress is placed on. For basic hospital beds, the base is made out of springs, so when patients lay down into the bed they sink due to the spring deck. The only way to avoid this is with a long-term care bed that has a solid frame. Long Term Care Hospital Beds also feature a much nicer modern-looking design with wooden heads and footboards. Long Term Care beds also have a variety of available positions depending on whether the user gets a bed with advanced positioning. Advanced Positioning adds Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg to the bed frame allowing for the frame to have zero gravity, or to help patient positioning. Trendelenburg tilts the entire sleeping frame. This can help with numerous amount of health conditions that may require specific angles and positions for the body. A long-term care bed is the bed frame most recommended for those looking to have the bed for years, as it is equipped with every feature a patient needs. Long Term Beds have warranties that last up to 15 years.
