Hospital / Homecare Bed FAQs
Homecare beds typically come in a few types:
- Manual Beds: Adjustments (head, foot, height) are made manually with cranks. (Less common for home use now).
- Semi-Electric Beds: Head and foot sections adjust electrically, but height is still manual.
- Full Electric Beds: All adjustments—head, foot, and bed height—are managed electrically with a remote. This is by far the most popular choice for ease of use for both the patient and caregiver. Brands like Drive Medical and Medline offer reliable full-electric options.

The primary difference lies in adjustability and functionality.
Unlike a standard bed, homecare beds are designed for medical needs. They allow for easy adjustment of the head and foot sections, and often the overall bed height, using electric controls.
This helps with positioning, patient comfort, circulation, and ease of care for caregivers. Regular beds offer static support, while medical beds are dynamic.
- Alternating Pressure Mattresses: Constantly change pressure points.
- Low Air Loss Mattresses: Provide a cushion of air to reduce moisture and pressure.
Brands like Immersus specialize in advanced pressure management systems, providing superior comfort and skin integrity.
- Assistance with Repositioning: Something to grasp onto when shifting in bed.
- Fall Prevention: Help prevent individuals from rolling out of bed, particularly those prone to disorientation or restlessness.
- Support for Standing/Sitting: Can offer a stable handhold when getting in and out of bed.
Stander bedside rails are a highly recommended brand, known for their sturdy, user-friendly designs that provide excellent support and fall prevention. Always assess individual needs for rail use.
For more complex needs, there are advanced medical beds available.
- MedMizer beds often feature unique designs focused on patient safety, caregiver ergonomics, and versatility, with options for bariatric support or advanced positioning.
- Arjo beds are known for their sophisticated engineering, often found in professional care settings but available for home. They provide advanced pressure area care, patient mobilization assistance, and integrated therapy features, representing the pinnacle of medical bed technology.
Absolutely! Modern homecare beds, especially from brands like MedMizer and Prius Healthcare (Pro Basics / Meridian), are designed with patient comfort in mind.
They offer therapeutic positioning, smooth adjustments, and can be paired with high-quality mattresses to ensure comfort for extended periods.
Many models also have features that make them blend more seamlessly into a home environment than traditional hospital beds, with attractive head/footboards.
