New chat  Hospital bed A hospital bed is a specialized type of bed designed for use in medical settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes. Hospital beds are typically adjustable and can be raised or lowered, tilted up or down, or adjusted for firmness or softness. They often come equipped with additional features, such as side rails, built-in storage compartments, and electronic controls. Hospital beds are used to provide patients with a safe and comfortable place to rest while receiving medical care, monitoring, or treatment. They can be used for a wide range of medical conditions, including post-surgery recovery, injury or trauma, chronic illness, and end-of-life care. There are several different types of hospital beds available, each designed to meet different patient needs. These include standard hospital beds, bariatric beds for heavier patients, low beds for fall prevention, and specialized beds for patients with specific medical conditions or needs.
