Hospital beds come in a wide variety of types to accommodate different patient needs, including electric, manual, bariatric, low height, and specialty beds
When choosing a hospital bed, consider features such as adjustable height and backrest, side rails, locking casters, and easy-to-clean surfaces
To determine the correct size hospital bed, measure the patient's height and weight. The bed should be long enough for the patient to lie down comfortably and wide enough to accommodate their movements
Various accessories are available to enhance the functionality and comfort of hospital beds, such as overbed tables, IV poles, bed rails, and pressure-reducing mattresses
