After you have carefully selected the perfect home Hospital Bed, the next job is to choose a mattress. But because hospital bed mattresses don`t come in standard sizes, this can seem like a daunting task to accomplish. Here is some helpful information about how hospital bed mattresses are sized and how you can pick the right one for your bed.
The best way to get the right size mattress for your home hospital bed is to match the size of the bed frame. In North America, twin size mattresses and bed frames are 39" wide by 75" long. Standard home Hospital Beds are different because they are only 36" wide and 80" long. They are made this way in order to accommodate tall patients and fit into semi-private rooms. As you can see, twin mattresses will not fit onto home hospital bed frames. Not to worry though – the standard hospital bed mattress size is also 36" x 80" so it is easy to order the right one for your bed.
Some hospital beds offer special extensions that make the bed frame 84" long. These beds are ideal for people who are over 6 feet tall or for shorter individuals who want extra room for extra pillows or pets. Thankfully 36" x 84" mattresses are readily available as well.
Bariatric home hospital beds feature heavy duty frames that can support higher weight capacities than standard beds. The frame has a weight capacity of 800 lbs and can extend to 42" or 48" wide. The mattresses are available in 42" x 80" and 48" x 80" sizes. Both mattresses offer four layers of multi-density foam for support but the Ultra features a cool-gel memory foam topper. This pulls heat away from the body, leaving a cooling sensation against the skin for comfortable sleep.
Getting the right size mattress for your home hospital bed is about more than just comfort. It is also about keeping the user safe. Large gaps between the mattress and side rails or assist bars are particularly dangerous. Older adults who try to get out of bed without help or roll off the mattress could become trapped in that space. Gaps between the end of the mattress and the headboard or footboard present similar safety concerns.
Hospital beds come in many shapes and sizes to meet the needs of users and their caregivers. hospital bed mattresses come in specific dimensions to match the bed frame. Trying to find just the right mattress can be a challenge, so contact us for your choose.
