Extra Wide Hospital Bed

More Room. More Support. Better Outcomes.

A wide hospital bed for obese patient care isn’t just about comfort—it’s about preventing falls, easing transfers, and giving the patient space to rest and recover. Each model in this collection ranges from 42" to 48" wide, and many are classified as a 48 inch hospital bed frame built for higher weight capacity and longer-term use.

Our bestsellers include plus-size electric hospital beds that feature quiet motors, remote control adjustability, reinforced frames, and optional side rails. These are perfect for anyone needing a heavy-duty wide medical bed for home care or clinical use. Some models even include accessories like patient lifts, battery backup, and expandable width.

To complete your setup, we recommend pairing your bed with one of our bariatric mattresses that fit 42–48 inch hospital beds for full-body support and pressure injury prevention.

FAQ: Extra Wide Hospital Beds

Q: What size is considered “extra wide”?

A: Anything over 36 inches wide. Most of our models range from 42"–48", with 48” being the most common for a bariatric full-size hospital bed.

Q: What’s the difference between a bariatric bed and a standard hospital bed?

A: A bariatric bed is built with a wider frame (usually 42–48”), a higher weight capacity (600–1,000 lbs), and a heavy-duty support system designed for plus-size patients. A standard hospital bed, on the other hand, is typically 36” wide and supports up to 350–450 lbs. If you’re shopping for a traditional option, explore our standard hospital beds designed for everyday medical use and home care. But for patients who need more space and structural reinforcement, a bariatric electric bed offers the safety, comfort, and adjustability required for long-term care.
