What's the main difference between hospital bed frames?
All hospital bed frames (aka bases) have head, foot and hi-low (bed height) adjustment, but the method of each adjustment will vary depending if the function is adjusted electrically with a hand pendant or manually with a crank.
- Full Electric - Electric head, foot and bed height control
- Semi Electric - Electric head and foot control, manual bed height
- Manual - Crank adjusts head, foot and bed height manually (we only sell full and semi-electric hospital bed frames here)
- Heavy Duty (Bariatric) - Full electric, at least 42"
Most of the standard 36" wide full electric, semi-electric and manual hospital bed frames require no tools to assemble. However, it is recommended to have at least two people to assemble them because of the size of the parts.
What is the weight limit for a hospital bed frame?
The weight limit for a hospital bed can vary depending on the size, specific model and manufacturer, but most 36" wide hospital beds have a weight limit between 350-450 pounds while hospital beds 42" wide or more have weight limits of 600 lbs. or more.How do I adjust the height of a hospital bed frame?
The height of a hospital bed base can be adjusted using the hand cranks or electric hand controls, depending on the type of bed. Semi electric hospital beds include a hand control which operates the head and foot sections up an down, but a crank to manually raise and lower the entire height of the bed. Full electric hospital beds include a hand control which operates all three functions - head, foot and entire height - up and down.What are the dimensions of a standard hospital bed frame?
A standard hospital bed sleep surface is 36 inches wide and 80 inches long while the overall bed length which includes the head board and foot board is 88 inches long. For taller individuals, we also sell hospital beds with a 84" long sleep surface and are 92" long overall including the head board and foot board.Can I use my own mattress on a hospital bed frame?
Typically, no, because the hospital bed sleep surface is meant for a 36" wide by 80" long mattress that is also made to bend up an down with the head and foot sections of the hospital bed. The closest match of a non-hospital bed mattress would be an Twin XL mattress which is 38" wide by 80" long.

It depends on the specific type of insurance and the reason the bed is needed. It's best to check with your insurance provider. Most insurances will cover at least part of the rental of a semi-electric hospital bed if the person medically qualifies. However, the insurance provider will need to provide you with the local medical equipment supplier(s) in your network since it is a rental.
How often should a hospital bed frame be serviced?
Most manufacturers recommend having a hospital bed serviced once a year or as needed. However, most manufacturers provide a user manual which includes assembly, service and care instructions.
