Looking for a more comfortable sleep experience for yourself or a loved one? Adjustable home care beds can provide all the adjustability and positioning benefits of a hospital bed, while matching your bedroom decor and traditional mattress sizes.
Read more to learn about the difference between an adjustable home care bed and hospital beds, electric vs manual home care beds, and the top rated adjustable home care beds on the market today.
What are Adjustable Home Care Beds?
Adjustable home care beds are beds designed for individuals who need a bit more support and comfort than traditional bedframes. Typically used in a home environment, these beds are often designed to blend in with other home furniture (rather than appearing clinical or like a “hospital bed”). With adjustable home care beds, you can adjust the head and foot sections, raise or lower the height of the bed, or switch to any other number of positions for sleeping or lounging. Adjustable home care beds are also often designed with two people in mind, whereas traditional hospital beds can only accomodate one person.
Hospital Beds vs Adjustable Home Care Beds
Both hospital beds and home care beds are designed to provide comfort and support for individuals with specialized needs. However, there are some important differences.
Hospital beds: Designed to meet the needs of individuals with serious medical issues, hospital beds are found in assisted living facilities, hospitals, rehab facilities, and other clinical spaces. Because they are built to accomodate medical issues, the cost of hospital beds can sometimes be covered by insurance.
Adjustable home care beds: Built to provide comfort and support in a home setting, adjustable home care beds are not primarily designed to accommodate serious medical issues. These beds can often support two people, and are generally more aestheically pleasing than traditional hospital beds. These adjustable beds are more likely to blend in with your bedroom decor, thought they may lack some of the more advanced features of hospital beds.
Electric vs Manual Home Care Beds
Electric home care beds are adjusted using a motor and a remote, while manual home care beds (and hospital beds) can be modified using hand cranks to change positions.
Most adjustable home care beds are electric: equipped with a motor and operated through a handheld remote.
