Medium, High and Best are MedEquip Shop’s relative category ratings. They are not a prediction of service life. Comfort also depends on the mattress, positioning and the person using the bed.
Use these measurements to narrow your options, then let us help you confirm the exact bed and package.
Swipe across on mobile. Height is measured from the floor to the mattress deck; add the mattress thickness for sleeping height.

Category names such as “36” describe the shopping group; some manufacturers specify a 35-inch sleep deck. Safe working load includes the person, mattress and applicable accessories and is not always the maximum patient weight. The Basic listing permits different supplied frames, so its exact height, capacity and warranty must be confirmed. Extension kits and wider mattresses are included only when listed in the selected package. Warranty coverage varies by component, model version and terms.

A standard home hospital bed is about 36" wide and 80" long. Measure the room, the doorways on the way in, and leave space on one side for a caregiver. Our Hospital Bed Room Size Guide walks you through it.
Renting usually makes more sense for a short or uncertain need, like recovery after surgery. Buying usually makes more sense when care will last several months or longer.
You don't need to know model names. Tell us about the patient and the room, try the beds in our showroom, and we'll put together a complete quote and schedule delivery and setup.

Compare how long the bed will be needed, how much help the person needs with transfers and repositioning, and the size and weight capacity required. This page groups beds into six collections, including standard-width and wider options. Ask the treating clinician which features are needed, then contact our team to compare suitable models.
The beds presented in this guide are full-electric, with powered adjustments for the head, foot and bed height. Adjustment ranges and controls vary by model. Confirm the specific features on the product page or with our team before purchasing.
A standard home hospital bed has a sleeping surface of about 36 by 80 inches, but the overall frame can be larger. Wider and other size options vary by model. Measure the room, doorways and access route, leave room for caregiver access, and check the exact model dimensions before ordering.
Check the listed capacity for the exact model rather than assuming every bed has the same limit. Some models in this guide offer higher capacities and wider frames. Ask our team to confirm the manufacturer’s capacity definition and the appropriate bed size for your needs.
Basic offers basic, upgraded comfort and premium mattress choices across Bronze, Silver and Gold. Comfort 36 and Comfort 42 Wide use an upgraded comfort mattress in Bronze, a premium mattress in Silver, and a premium mattress with sheets in Gold. Deluxe package contents and Elite size-based bundles should be confirmed on the selected listing, including rails and accessories.

Renting may suit a short or uncertain need, such as temporary recovery, and has a lower upfront cost than purchasing. Buying may suit ongoing care lasting several months or longer. Compare the expected length of use and total costs with our team; hospital bed rentals also include Houston-area delivery and setup options.
