Whether a patient is bedridden or not, they need adjustable hospital beds where they can be comfortable, get a good night’s rest, and have all of their needs met. You will find that there are many different types of beds and your doctor may even specify a specific type of position – and the bed must be able to meet doctor orders.

Choosing the Right Beds

At Welcare Drug Store, we are a large supplier of hospital beds. Children and adults alike are going to need comfortable hospital beds and we are able to accommodate all of these. Some of the factors you will need to consider when choosing a bad include:

• Weight of patient
• Height of patient
• Whether railings are needed
• What positions the bed needs to be moved to
• Automatic or manual positioning

Types of Hospital Beds

The height of the hospital beds can be easily adjusted in accordance to the head and lower body areas. Hospital beds are vital for the comfort and needs of each and every patient. There are 3 major types of hospital beds available:

• Manual bed. Manual adjustable hospital beds can be raised or lowered using hand cranks. These beds are an ideal choice for patients who don’t need regular repositioning. Hand cranks are normally found at the foot of the bed.
• Semi-electric bed. The head and foot portion of these beds can be lowered and raised using an electric motor. The height of the bed still needs to be adjusted using the hand crank. Patients and/or their caregivers can adjust the bed using a button. This is ideal for patients that don’t need to adjust the bed often, but can benefit from the convenience of simply pushing a button to adjust it.
• Full electric. This bed doesn’t require a hand crank, and the height and positioning of the bed can be fully controlled using a button. This is very convenient for patients who require frequent repositioning and adjustment.

There is a significant amount of technology available when it comes to hospital beds. You can choose to go as high tech or as low-tech as you desire – or as your budget allows. Hospital beds can be known to take up a considerable amount of space. If you are purchasing a hospital bed for your home, this is something to consider because you will want to find one of the smaller beds so as not to take up the entire room.
