If you&#;ve ever had a spell in hospital, you&#;ll have experienced the marvel that is the hospital bed. Designed for optimal patient comfort, and so that health professionals can administer care successfully(1), these adjustable beds deliver comfort and convenience when they&#;re needed most.
Yet for many people, the need for help getting in and out of bed, and staying comfortable while in bed extends beyond hospital visits.
Discover the many uses of adjustable beds and their therapeutic benefits and consider how an adjustable bed could help you.
Domestic adjustable beds can help to provide practical solutions to getting in and out of bed and can also help alleviate the pain and discomfort caused by long-term and temporary mobility problems. They do this by allowing the height and position of the mattress to be altered to accommodate your needs.
However, rather than only providing help for those with mobility problems, adjustable beds can also offer solutions to all sorts of sleep time problems. This includes helping those that are recovering from an illness or injury, to providing comfort to people with acid reflux, back problems, and even circulatory issues (2). Adjustable beds are also great for those looking for a more comfortable way to watch TV in bed or to enjoy their bedtime reading.
Unlike most other beds, adjustable beds offer practical assistance for getting in and out of bed, as well as allowing you to adjust the bed while in it, to optimise your comfort. Adjustable beds use a motorised mechanism to lift and lower the mattress to the desired height and angle.
These types of beds are also sometimes referred to as electric beds, reclining beds, and mobility beds.
Adjustable beds are excellent mobility tools and have come a long way since they were first introduced. For instance, modern adjustable beds tend to be ones that can be adjusted using a wireless remote or even Bluetooth via your own mobile device. This is a far cry from the days of hazardous loose wires and clunky controls.
Now, adjustable beds are stylish as well as practical and are available in assorted styles, fabrics and sizes.
Bensons for Beds has a great variety of reclining beds in assorted sizes. This allows you to select the perfect adjustable bed for your needs and for your available space. Options include single, small double, double, king size, and super king adjustable beds, meaning all kinds of households can benefit from having an adjustable bed. Many of the beds are equipped with non-turn mattresses which is convenient for those with long-term mobility issues. Others feature mattresses with handles to make it easier to turn them when needed.
Different aspects of an adjustable bed can help with various health conditions(2) in addition to making bedtime all that more comfortable.
A tilting bed that offers assorted back positions can help you get into an upright sitting position without the need for you to pull yourself up.
These types of adjustable beds are great for help with:
&#; Back pain: elevated support can help you maintain a more comfortable position(3)
&#; Heartburn and acid reflux: elevation can prevent stomach acid travelling up to your throat(4)
&#; Sinusitis, colds, blocked noses: lying flat can make blocked noses worse whereas elevation can help drain sinuses and stop you feeling bunged up(5)
&#; Having meals in bed when you need to stay in bed for long periods
&#; Taking medicine when in bed: can adjust the bed to lift your head instead of leaning up to receive medicine
&#; Pregnancy and beyond: lifting your upper body can be made easier with an adjustable bed which can help postpartum and if feeding your new baby in bed.
&#; Reading comfortably in bed
&#; Watching television in bed
An adjustable bed that raises at the foot of the mattress is helpful in many different situations including:
&#; If you are recovering from a lower limb injury and need to keep one or both legs raised(2)
&#; Improving blood flow: raising your legs can help blood to circulate(2)
&#; Reducing swelling: leg elevation can help fluids to (2)
&#; To alleviate pressure from varicose veins(2)
You may not want or need the same type of support as your partner, which is why a shared bed with two separate mattresses and independent controls is the sensible choice. Our adjustable beds made for two have split mattresses with separate controls for each side so that they can be adjusted to suit the needs of each sleeper. For example, you may want to adjust the head of the bed to support your back as you read, while your partner can continue to sleep soundly lying down.
A common concern when buying an adjustable bed is that it may interfere with the overall look of your bedroom. Fortunately, our adjustable beds are not only practical, but also stylish. Many of our adjustable beds are available in elegant, neutral tones, to complement all manner of bedroom designs. These beds are also available in a choice of fabrics.
One of the great aspects of an adjustable bed is its versatility. A bed that can be raised at the back and at the foot help you stay comfortable in all different scenarios and at different times in your life. From offering everyday comfort, to assisting with mobility as you age, adjustable beds can provide convenience for all.

While all hospital beds in our inventory are adjustable in some way, shape or form, there are definite, distinct differences between individual models. It&#;s important to understand the different types of adjustable beds for sale, and what they do. Some types of hospital beds share several similar or identical benefits, and yet each type of bed can be more helpful for different reasons, depending on the patient or user&#;s disability, age, or mobility limitations. Also, keep in mind the importance of the caregiver capabilities. Another thing to note is that these beds are capable of more than just typical height adjustment; they often have head and foot adjustments as well, making them unique when compared to other beds out there. Here are a few of the most popular types of hospital beds requested by our customers.
Electric fully adjustable hospital beds for home use provide the most benefits in terms of positioning and stability for both the user and the caregiver. Caregivers don&#;t have to physically exert themselves when adjusting an electric home care adjustable bed. These beds feature functional adjustable electric controls, enabling users or caregivers to operate the position with a remote control, with push-buttons, or by means of electric foot pedals.
Manual hospital beds may be fully or partially adjustable, but rather than using electronic controls, positioning is often achieved by using manual cranks or pedals. There are some benefits to manual beds; for instance, they&#;re reliable even if there is no electricity available. However, truthfully, these beds are only used by those who are fully bedridden and whose caregivers are physically capable of using the manual adjusters, as working a manual bed can cause more fatigue for caregivers.
Semi-electric hospital beds are home care adjustable beds that feature both electric adjustments and manual adjustments. With many models, the head section can be adjusted electronically. Other semi-electric beds may have electric controls for both head and foot sections, and manual controls to adjust the bed&#;s height.
Low hospital beds are made to aid those who have a problem getting in and out of beds that are of typical height. These height adjustable hospital beds are meant to aid users who may have a greater chance of rolling or falling out of bed. Another benefit for low beds is that shorter people can position their feet so that their soles are flat against the floor when preparing to transfer to a walker, rollator, or wheelchair.
We understand that some users may need an adjustable hospital bed for home use that features a higher weight capacity than the typical 350 or 450 pound variety. Therefore, there are bariatric models which can hold anywhere from approximately 600 pounds all the way up to pounds. Users should always make sure that the mattress that they choose, plus attachments and accessories, won&#;t cause them to go over the weight capacity of their bed frame. Not only does being heavier than the weight limit cause more wear and tear on the beds themselves, but they also will cause the user to be at higher risk for personal injury. Further, if a person is above the weight capacity, the warranty of the product may be voided should any malfunctions occur.
Surgical beds, also sometimes called post-operative beds, are simply hospital-style adjustable bedshospital-style adjustable beds which offer basic features while allowing the users to be assisted during periods of recovery or when managing other physical issues such as illness. Most people consider basic hospital beds and surgical beds to be one and the same. Of course, while all hospital beds may be used for post-op recovery, many users who only need the bare minimum will be better off using a surgical bed.
High low hospital beds are often used by patients and users who are recovering just the same as those who purchase surgical beds. If they&#;re in need of medical or health care from a caregiver, these beds have some additional features that allow the caregiver and the patient to be more comfortable or to increase accessibility. These adjustable medical beds for the home may include an adjustable head, as well as feet and side rails which can be adjusted. The most important feature of these models is their height adjustability.
This is a very common question, and the answer is, both Medicare and Medicaid will cover the costs of most home care adjustable beds, as they are considered to be durable medical equipment that a doctor prescribes for use in the home. Unfortunately, Medicare and Medicaid won&#;t actually pay for DME adjustable beds bought from AvaCare Medical, but they will reimburse patients. All items that are considered DME can be purchased outright through us, and then one can download the correct reimbursement form and receipt within a year after the date of purchasing one of our hospital-type adjustable beds. For more information regarding this, one can read our Medical Reimbursement Guide.
Each medical adjustable bed comes along with its own set of advantages. There may be some give and take, but disadvantages of a particular model are always far outweighed by all of the pros and benefits that a user (and their caregiver) can have by making this important purchase.
One of the major downsides to having a hospital bed is the appearance. Simply put, a home hospital bed appears to be nearly identical to a regular hospital bed, and some people might not like this. However, there are colors and varieties available which help a user to get a bed in the style they want, rather than just a plain hospital bed.
Also, most hospital-style beds are only about the size of a twin bed. Bariatric beds may be wider and longer. Some users may prefer full-size adjustable hospital beds, so they may need to consider more expensive options.
Regardless of any negative aspects, the positioning benefits as well as the numerous health benefits (improved circulation, ease of use, less fatigue, easier transfers, safety features, etc.) far outweigh the cons. Not only that, but most home hospital adjustable beds&#; prices are often lower than $1,000, meaning they&#;re affordable even for those who live on a fixed income.
