The common question is, what are bariatric beds used for? Or in other words, what is a bariatric bed? Now, while the answer might seem obvious, a hospital bed mattress befitting a bariatric patient, the details of that mattress can be slightly more complex. Below we will detail the purpose, benefits, and types of bariatric hospital beds, as well as some recommendations so that you can be informed when looking for a product that suits your needs.
A person is classified as having obesity and may be referred to as a bariatric patient when they have a body mass index (BMI) equal to or greater than 30. As such, they usually require a larger bed with a greater weight capacity and a bed reinforced to support a higher weight capacity than a traditional hospital bed.
Often bariatric patients suffer from pressure sores and need a hospital bed mattress that aids with pressure sores and specifically accommodates bariatric people. Besides the increased bariatric bed weight limit, beds in this category often have features that a regular hospital bed does not have. Such features include a bariatric turning bed, and a bed with lateral rotation to ensure continuous movement, thereby limiting pressure sores and bed ulcers. Such beds also have a more powerful alternating pressure pump ensuring that the low air loss technology is more robust, enabling a cooler mattress environment.
What is the weight capacity for your bariatric beds?

Do I need a unique mattress for a bariatric bed?

Initially, we were almost set on the Inspired by Drive Pediatric Stroller for its reputation, but after much consideration, we chose the Circle Specialty Strive Adaptive Stroller instead—and what a fantastic decision it was! The Strive Stroller offers unparalleled support and comfort, accommodating our child’s needs better than we ever expected. It's incredibly robust and offers more room for growth, which gives us confidence that we made the right choice. We also appreciate the extra features like adjustable seating and ample storage, which were not as comprehensive in the other model. So glad we went with the Strive!
As a parent of a child with special needs, finding the right stroller has always been a challenge until we discovered the Circle Specialty Strive Adaptive Stroller. The level of comfort and support it provides is exceptional. It's sturdy yet surprisingly lightweight, making it easy to transport and maneuver. Highly recommended for families looking for a reliable mobility solution!

I've been using the Strive Adaptive Stroller for a few months now, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the quality and thoughtful design. The adjustable seating and headrest ensure my son is comfortable and secure on our daily walks. The storage pockets are a great touch for keeping essentials close at hand.
The Circle Specialty Strive Stroller is almost perfect. It offers excellent support and mobility, and the frame is robust. My only critique is that it's a bit on the heavier side compared to other special needs strollers we've tried, but it's a small trade-off for its stability and features.
Initially hesitant because of the price, I am now convinced that the Strive Adaptive Stroller was worth every penny. It has transformed our outings, making them more enjoyable and less stressful. The durability is noticeable, and it handles different terrains with ease. Absolutely a must-have for any parent in a similar situation.
Choosing the Strive Adaptive Stroller has been the best investment we've made for our family's mobility needs. It's easy to adjust, provides great comfort for my child, and the customer service from Circle Specialty has been outstanding. If you're in the market for an adaptive stroller, this is the one to get!
