What is a Handicap Bed?
A handicap bed is a motorized, adjustable bed designed to support individuals with disabilities or mobility issues.
Unlike standard hospital beds or basic adjustable beds, handicap beds offer a wider range of features that focus on safety, comfort, and accessibility. These beds often include adjustable height, electric positioning for the head and foot sections, side rails, and specialized lift compatibility.
Many are also equipped with remote control functions, allowing users or caregivers to make frequent adjustments with minimal effort. With electric beds, disabled individuals can experience safer transfers, pressure relief, and improved rest.
Benefits of Using a Handicap Bed
Handicap beds provide essential benefits that support daily care, mobility, and safety for individuals with disabilities.
These beds are built with features that promote better health outcomes and ease of use in both home and clinical settings. Key benefits include:
- Increased Mobility and Accessibility: Users can adjust the bed height, sit upright, and change positions without assistance. This aids wheelchair users and supports safer transfers.
- Pain Relief and Pressure Management: Custom positioning helps prevent bedsores and reduces joint pain by relieving pressure on sensitive areas.
- Safety and Fall Prevention: Handicap bed rails, low beds, and stable frames reduce the risk of falling during sleep or transfers.
- Caregiver Support: Handicap bed lifts for homes reduce physical strain during daily assistance tasks.
Types of Handicap Beds
Handicap beds are available in multiple configurations. Each model supports different medical conditions, mobility levels, and caregiver needs.
Hi-Low Handicap Beds
Hi-low beds feature adjustable height settings that lower close to the floor or raise for easy caregiver access. This makes transfers safer and reduces the risk of falls. These beds are ideal for individuals who need regular assistance entering or exiting the bed.
Skyward Medical’s hi-low beds for disabled adults collection offers models designed for stability, convenience, and daily use.
Trendelenburg Handicap Beds
Trendelenburg beds offer advanced head-down and foot-down positioning. These adjustments support users with circulation problems, respiratory conditions, or those recovering from surgery.
At Skyward Medical, our Trendelenburg beds collection includes models equipped with remote control functions for frequent changes in position, promoting comfort and improved health outcomes.
Rotating Handicap Beds
Rotating beds feature a swivel base that allows the bed to turn up to 360 degrees. This function supports easier transfers for wheelchair users or individuals with severe mobility challenges.
Skyward Medical’s rotating adjustable beds provide an effective solution for caregivers and patients who need safer repositioning throughout the day.
Bariatric Handicap Beds
Bariatric beds are constructed with reinforced frames and support higher weight capacities. These models are built for stability and comfort, offering adjustable height, wide sleeping surfaces, and strong side rails.
The bariatric beds selection at Skyward Medical is suitable for users who require extra durability without compromising on safety or functionality.

How to Choose the Best Handicap Bed for Your Needs
Choosing the best handicap bed requires evaluating several key factors. Start by assessing the user’s mobility level. Individuals who need help with transfers may benefit from a rotating bed, while those with partial mobility might find hi-low beds more suitable.
Also consider medical conditions such as poor circulation, pressure injuries, or respiratory concerns. In these cases, beds with Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positions offer better support.
