What should I consider before renting a hospital bed?

Direct answer: Before renting a hospital-style bed, confirm the user’s needs, mattress requirements, room dimensions, delivery access, electrical access, rental period and who will operate or assist with the bed.

Measure before delivery

Confirm the intended room, hallways, stairs, elevators and other access points. The exact bed dimensions and required operating clearance depend on the model.

Bed functions

Different beds offer different adjustment functions. The appropriate functions depend on the user’s needs and any professional recommendations.

Mattress and accessories

Mattress type, rails and other accessories should not be treated as interchangeable. Confirm compatibility and intended use for the specific bed.
