View Full DetailsIf you or a loved one requires medical attention and care at home, investing in a hospital bed may be the best option. Hospital beds for home use are designed to provide comfort and support to patients with varying needs. Explore the different hospital bed options available on Shop Home Med to find the model that’s the best fit for you.
There are a variety of hospital bed types on the market, each designed to meet different needs.
Commonly used in hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare settings, adjustable beds allow the user or caretaker to modify bed positioning for optimal comfort. Adjustable features may include head and foot sections, side rails, and the ability to raise or lower the bed to different heights.
Low hospital beds are similar to standard hospital beds but sit lower on the ground, with some even sitting at floor level to reduce the risk of falls and other injuries. Low hospital beds may be used for patients who have difficulty getting in and out of bed, as the lower height can make it easier and safer to use.
Bariatric hospital beds are designed for larger patients and can support a weight capacity of over 750 pounds or more depending on the model. The beds often have wider frames and mattresses and may have additional features like extra support rails and wider footboards.
There are two kinds of electric hospital beds: semi-electric and full-electric.
Semi-electric hospital beds operate using an electric motor to adjust some features of the bed like the head and feet. A manual or hand-cranked adjustment is needed for other features like the height. Semi-electric hospital beds are ideal for patients who want the ability to adjust their positioning easily but may not need to frequently adjust the height of the bed.
Full electric hospital beds are the most advanced type of hospital bed. They are operated using an electric motor that adjusts the height of the bed and the position of the head and footrests. Full electric hospital beds are ideal for patients who require medical attention and care. They are commonly used in ICU and critical care units.

Some home hospital beds come with mattresses while other models consist of the frame alone, allowing you to purchase a hospital mattress separately
Hospital beds have a height adjustment feature that allows patients to get in and out of bed more easily. This feature is especially important for patients who are recovering from surgery or those with mobility issues.
Hospital beds have head and footrests that can be adjusted to different positions. This feature allows patients to find a comfortable position while lying down or sitting up in bed. It is also helpful for patients who need to elevate their feet or sit up straight.
Some hospital bed models come with side rails to prevent patients from falling out of bed. The side rails can be lowered or raised depending on the patient’s needs. You can also purchase bed rails separately and attach them to beds without built-in rails.
Home hospital beds are a great option for patients who have recently undergone surgery, sustained an injury, or are dealing with an illness and need to recover.
Hospital beds can be used for elderly patients to provide a safe and comfortable place to rest and receive medical care.
Medical beds are also used for patients with long-term or life-long needs and disabilities, allowing them to receive care in the comfort of their own homes.
Hospital beds come in various sizes to cater to the diverse needs of patients and healthcare facilities.
Standard hospital beds typically measure 36 inches in width and 80 inches in length, which is slightly narrower and longer than the traditional twin-size mattress.
For individuals requiring more space, bariatric hospital beds are available, offering widths ranging from 42 inches to 48 inches or more, providing ample room and support for larger patients.
Refer to the chart below for a better understanding of how hospital bed sizes compare to standard bed and mattress sizes. Understanding hospital bed dimensions will help you make informed decisions and choose the right size for your specific needs.
Bed Type | Width (inches) | Length (inches) |
---|---|---|
Standard Twin | 38 | 75 |
Twin XL | 38 | 80 |
Standard Hospital | 36 | 80 |
Bariatric Hospital | 42 - 48+ | 80 |
Pediatric Hospital | Varies | Varies |

I’ve tried many different pads & Attn Grace are by far the best! I am so pleased to have found them! Thank you!

Love it
This cushion was exactly what I needed for my mother’s wheelchair. It’s exactly the right size, has the coccyx cut out, and the cover is waterproof. I also liked the thickness. The old one was too thick and the cover was not waterproof. I will order again from Home Med next time I need more supplies.
Fit perfectly and love that it allows for patients getting into and out of bed normal side rails won't allow for. Great price point as well.
You didn't send me what I ordered, send extedine the sponge that go on the foot rest.
Great quality bedding at a reasonable cost and delivered right on time as needed and scheduled!!!
