What Is an Adjustable Hospital Bed?
An adjustable hospital bed differs from a standard bed primarily in functionality and design.
While standard beds offer a flat, unmoving surface, adjustable hospital beds feature motorized positioning, customizable height, and specialized mattress support.
Motorized Positioning - Electric motors power seamless head, foot, and height adjustments. From hi-low beds to rotating adjustable beds, you can pivot into the perfect angle with zero effort.
Customizable Height - Deck height adjusts from near-floor to standing level. This flexibility boosts independence, eases transfers, and saves caregivers from back strain.
Specialized Mattress Support - Many full-size hospital beds include pressure-relief mattresses that cradle the body, adapt to adjustments, and minimize sore spots.
These features improve patient comfort, reduce caregiver strain, and can enhance recovery outcomes.
Benefits of Using an Adjustable Hospital Bed
Adjustable hospital beds do more than move—they deliver comfort, care, and control with the push of a button.
Pain Relief and Better Sleep
Adjusting the bed aligns the spine and elevates limbs, relieving back pain and joint pressure.
Raising the head helps reduce sleep apnea effects by keeping airways open, and a slight incline minimizes overnight acid reflux by using gravity to keep stomach acid down.
Increased Mobility and Independence
Hi-low beds adjust to seated or standing positions at the push of a button, cutting fall risk, easing transfers, and giving patients greater daily independence in their daily routines.
Support for Caregivers
Adjustable heights let caregivers work at the ideal level, protecting backs and speeding daily tasks. No more bending or awkward angles.
Medical-Grade Features
Most models come with medical-grade extras that make life simpler and safer.
- Side Rails – Secure rails keep users steady when shifting or sitting up.
- Remote Controls – Intuitive pendants let users tweak positions without awkward reaching.
- Battery Backup – Backup power ensures smooth adjustments even during power failures.
Types of Adjustable Hospital Beds
When choosing an adjustable hospital bed, consider which type best fits your needs:
Full Electric Adjustable Beds
Fully electric adjustable beds respond instantly to a button press, effortlessly raising the head, foot, or whole frame.
They are ideal for frequent adjustments, and help both caregivers and patients with their seamless, hands-free operation.

Trendelenburg Beds
Trendelenburg beds offer an advanced positioning system that allows for head-down (Trendelenburg) and feet-down (Reverse Trendelenburg) positions.
These beds are ideal for patients with circulation issues, respiratory conditions, or who are recovering from surgery.
Bariatric Adjustable Beds
Designed for bariatric beds, bariatric beds feature reinforced frames and expanded platforms. They support higher weight capacities—often up to 1,000 lbs—without sacrificing smooth, precise adjustments.
Low Adjustable Beds
Ultra-low deck heights can drop as close as 9.5″ to the floor. Lower beds reduce fall risks and simplify getting in and out.
Low adjustable beds are a practical choice for the elderly or wheelchair users seeking safe, easy access.
