Selecting the right hospital bed is crucial for ensuring patient comfort, safety, and effective care. With a variety of options available, it's important to understand the features and benefits of different models to make an informed decision. Here's a guide to help you choose the best hospital bed from MFI Medical. 

Key Considerations

Type of Hospital Bed

• Manual Beds
  These beds require manual adjustments and are ideal for settings with budget constraints or where electric beds are not feasible. For example, the Joerns Care 100 Bed offers manual adjustability.
• Semi-Electric Beds
  Combine electric adjustments for the head and foot with manual height adjustment. The Dynarex Semi Electric Home Care Bed offers a balance of convenience and cost-effectiveness.
• Full-Electric Beds
  Provide full electric adjustments for head, foot, and height, offering maximum convenience. The Dynarex Full Electric Home Care Bed allows for comprehensive and effortless position changes.

Bed Frame and Structure

• Height Adjustability
  Important for patient transfer and caregiver ergonomics. The Hill-Rom CareAssist Hospital Bed provides adjustability for ease of use.
• Side Rails
  Essential for patient safety, preventing falls. The Dynarex Adjustable Full Length Bed Rail offers secure support.
• Weight Capacity
  Ensure the bed supports the patient’s weight. The Joerns Bariatric Bed is designed for higher weight capacities.

Mattress and Comfort

• Foam Mattresses
  Provide good support and are suitable for most patients. The Dynarex DynaRest Multi-Zone Foam Mattress offers high-density foam for enhanced comfort.
