We like and recommend all the hospital bed brands we carry, but if you'd like a specific recommendation, we like Invacare's full electric hospital bed 5410ivc for the elderly and home environments. It comes with a FREE mattress and side rails, but that's not what makes it unique. We carry other hospital bed sets that include the mattress and rails. We recommend it because nothing beats Invacare's combination of quality and feature selections in this bed. But, that said, depending on your need and budget, thee are plenty of other great options as well.

American Discount Home Medical Equipment only sells prescription POCs that are FDA-approved because we are committed to providing our customers with the best possible care. For the same reason, we require a prescription for each of the portable and stationary concentrators we sell.

We carry anti-bacterial and water-resistant innerspring mattresses. 

Foam mattresses range from a single layer, level 1 mattress up to multi-layered and multi-density level 3 mattresses. A very good foam mattress will redistribute body pressure points to prevent bed sores. 

Multi-layer mattresses are best for those who spend most of their time in bed, or who cannot shift position independently. The Protekt 500 mattress, Invacare Premier mattresses, and Drive Gravity 9 and Multi-Ply 6500 mattresses are some examples of high quality, multi-layered foam mattresses we sell that are made to help prevent bed sores based on their construction.

Air mattresses are your best choice for comfort. This type of hospital bed mattress is best for those who spend most of their time in bed, who cannot shift position independently, and who want or need the optimum in comfort.

Alternating Pressure, Low Air Loss and Lateral Rotation (turning) or lateral rotating air mattresses are designed to aid in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers (also called bed sores) and are perfect for hospital beds.

Alternating pressure pads and gel foam mattress overlays are a less expensive alternative to air mattresses and lay on top an existing hospital bed mattress, most typically a level 1 mattress. Some people ask if it's a smart idea to get an overlay if they have a level 2 mattress when their condition has changed and is in bed more. Our answer is, it could help, but we recommend moving up to a Level 3 or 4 mattress instead. 

Regular mattresses do not work with adjustable or hospital beds because they must contour with the positions the hospital bed can take. Additionally, hospital bed mattresses are better designed to prevent bed sores and they are much easier to clean. 

The mattress is key. Air mattresses are the best for those who are confined to the bed, especially if it's going to be a long-term stay for many months or years. Foam mattresses are built for comfort as well and come with a lower price point. Mattress toppers add a layer for added comfort and are a less expensive option to air and foam mattresses. What you need really depends on how many months you'll be in a hospital bed, your weight, your ability to turn yourself, and how many hours a day you will staying in bed. 

Medicare Part B covers much of the cost of medically necessary mattresses and beds. If a doctor and Medicare decide that it is medically necessary for you to have a specific mattress or bed, they will consider it durable medical equipment (DME).

The American Hospital Association states that the life of the mattress is 5 years, but mattress manufacturers maintain that it is only 1 to 3 years. Medicare will not replace the mattress before 5 years.
