Below are our most common and frequent questions we get asked, so have a little browse or alternatively, contact us for more information using the live chat in the bottom right hand corner, or call Hospital beds are comfortable depending on the type of mattress you choose.
Comfort is a very personal thing. We recommend you spend what you can afford on a foam mattress but remember that the more you spend the better the quality of the foam mattress. We recommend a minimum of 5 and a half inches in depth to prevent the mattress bottoming out and always go for a high-density foam as this is a sign of quality and robustness.
Foam is generally rated by two criteria. The first being density. Density is a measure of mass per unit volume. Density is the property that dictates the durability of the foam, in general terms the higher the density the better the foam will perform.
Secondly hardness or firmness is a measure of the force required to compress a test piece to a specified percentage of its original thickness, expressed in Newtons. The hardness factor is purely a matter of choice and can become very subjective. Personal comfort is very individual and subjective.
High density foam mattresses tend to offer high degrees of comfort and pressure reduction. Memory foam or Visco-elastic foam is now very popular. Visco-elastic foam has been around for about 40 years now. The material was originally invented by NASA to be used in space shuttle seats. It is now used in many memory foam mattresses, toppers, and pillows. Generally, a combination of metal, plastics and timber. Most hospital beds have a steel frame this offers strength and support.
Hospital beds tend to be finished with abs plastic components that are easily cleaned and decontaminated in a hospital environment whereby domestic hospital beds tend to be finished in a wood or vinyl wrapped surround that is aesthetically pleasing and fits into the home environment. Hospital beds are generally found in hospitals and are electric beds used for the care of patients in hospital. Bottom line - a very happy customer comforted in knowing that his wife has a bed and mattress that provide her with the comfort and support she needs and deserves.
I can't say enough about doing business here at HomecareHospitalBeds. Pricing was outstanding. Plus the mattress with Homecare was included, where others required a separate purchase of the mattress. Customer service was as personal as dealing with a local mom and pop type of business. Our rep Josh was as helpful and professional as you could possibly ask for and is a genuine asset that the company can be proud of having representing them to the public.
Speaking with Josh, you feel almost as if you are doing business with your next door neighbor's son that you watched grow up and always thought was a great kid. The kind of young man that would carry in your groceries and say good morning with a smile every time you saw him. I can't say enough about Josh and his attention to detail and his help through the process of ordering and delivery. I'm an old school type of blue collar guy. I don't give praise for someone doing what I consider "their job.
Josh was a rare pleasure to deal with at a time that whenever you do business, you have to go in accepting the fact that professionalism just doesn't seem to exist all that much anymore. Delivery was on time too, practically to the minute promised.
Like Josh, the technicians that carried in and assembled our bed were professional, courteous and again an absolute pleasure to interact with There is no question, this is the place to go for your hospital bed needs.

We also offer specialized beds such as low hospital beds that make it easier to get in and out of bed, or a bariatric hospital bed to support heavier or larger users. Full electric hospital beds use electric motor controls to raise the bed level, as well as the head and foot sections of the bed, by pushing a button. This feature allows a patient to independently and quickly adjust the bed to the ideal position and height. On semi electric hospital beds, on the other hand, only the foot and head sections of the bed are motor-operated, while the height can only be adjusted by a caregiver, with the use of the hand crank.
A semi electric bed is an economical choice for those who have someone to help them raise and lower the bed as needed. A manual hospital bed is operated with a hand crank, which helps avoid motor failure and maintenance problems. Using the hand crank, the head, foot and height of the bed can be raised to enhance patient comfort. These beds are often used in nursing facilities.
