What is a High-Low Hospital Bed?
A high-low hospital bed is designed to allow the hospital bed mattress platform to raise and lower electronically or manually. These beds are ideal for patients with mobility challenges, offering the ability to adjust the bed's height for safe transfers, reducing the risk of falls. By lowering the bed closer to the floor, sometimes as low as 2.9" off the ground, patients are less likely to experience serious injuries from accidental falls. Low medical bed frames are especially beneficial for fall risk patients, while the high position offers ease of care, allowing caregivers to assist patients comfortably without bending over.
High-low beds like the Emerald Oasis hi-low hospital bed offer full adjustability, making them perfect for both patient comfort and caregiver convenience. They allow easy repositioning and come with optional features like side rails for added safety.
Low Beds for Fall Risk Patients
Low beds for fall risk patients are specifically designed to lower the height of the bed frame, minimizing the distance between the patient and the floor. For elderly or disabled individuals who are prone to falling, a hospital low bed provides peace of mind and safety. With a low platform bed, patients can safely enter and exit the bed with minimal assistance. These beds are also ideal for home settings where extra precautions are necessary to ensure the patient’s safety.
For added protection, many of our low beds for elderly patients come with safety rails, helping reduce fall risks. These beds ensure that patients who may be weak, confused, or have impaired mobility are protected from the dangers of falling out of bed.
Adjustable Low Hospital Beds
Adjustable low hospital beds offer multiple height and position adjustments to accommodate patient needs and enhance comfort. These beds typically feature motorized controls that allow caregivers to raise and lower the bed effortlessly. For patients in home care, a hi-low bed for home is an excellent option as it provides both safety and comfort. These beds help with easier transfers and ensure the bed can be lowered to its safest position when not in use.
The Medacure Ultra Low Hi-Low Hospital Bed is one of our top recommendations for home care settings. It offers excellent functionality and can be adjusted to extremely low positions to cater to patients with higher fall risks. This bed also comes with advanced safety features, making it ideal for home care environments.
Low Profile Beds for Home and Facilities
For patients who prefer minimalistic styles, low profile beds are an excellent choice. These beds sit close to the floor, offering a sleek, modern appearance while ensuring the safety of fall risk patients. Low profile beds can also be used in medical facilities where space is a concern, or for patients who require a lower frame to help with transfers. The low beds for home provide the best of both worlds—combining a stylish design with essential safety features.
Our selection of low platform beds includes options that are easy to clean, maintain, and operate, making them a top choice for both caregivers and patients.
