Hospital Beds & Accessories

Full-electric vs semi-electric vs manual

Which type of hospital bed do you need?

The main difference is what moves by motor and what moves by hand crank. Here is how the three types compare.

Full-Electric

  • Head: powered
  • Foot: powered
  • Height (hi-low): powered
  • Best for: daily caregiving and easiest transfers

Semi-Electric

  • Head: powered
  • Foot: powered
  • Height: hand crank
  • Best for: comfort control at a lower price

Manual

  • Head: hand crank
  • Foot: hand crank
  • Height: hand crank
  • Best for: lowest cost, lighter use

What is a hi-low bed?

A hi-low bed lowers close to the floor to reduce the distance of a fall and raises to a comfortable working height for a caregiver. Full-electric beds do this by remote, which is why they are the most popular choice for daily care.

Do not forget the mattress and rails

Most bed frames are sold without a mattress. Add a foam or pressure-redistributing mattress, and half or full side rails and accessories to match how the bed will be used.

Buying guide

How to choose a hospital bed for home

Six things settle most decisions. Confirm the exact figures on each product page.

Bed type

Full-electric for everyday caregiving and easy transfers, semi-electric for powered comfort at a lower price, or manual for lighter use. Match it to how often the bed will be adjusted.

Size

Standard homecare beds are about twin size. Some models, like the Passport, also come in twin XL, queen, and split king for couples or taller users. Measure the room and doorway before you choose.

Weight capacity

Choose a capacity comfortably above the user's weight. Standard homecare frames cover most needs, and bariatric beds add a wider sleep surface and a higher rating. Check the figure listed on each bed.

Mattress

Frames usually ship without a mattress. Foam suits general comfort, and pressure-redistributing surfaces add comfort for people who spend most of the day in bed. See our mattresses and low-air-loss options.

Rails and assist

Half rails aid repositioning and getting in and out, while full rails add more enclosure. Assist bars and rotating rails can make standing up easier. Add the right accessories for the user.

Delivery and setup

Hospital beds are heavy and assemble in the room. We deliver and set up across the Salt Lake Valley, or ship nationwide. If you only need one for a few weeks, a rental may be the better value.

FAQ

Hospital bed questions, answered

What is the difference between a full-electric and semi-electric hospital bed?+

A full-electric bed powers the head, foot, and height all by remote. A semi-electric bed powers the head and foot but raises and lowers the height with a hand crank. Full-electric is easier for daily caregiving, while semi-electric costs less and still gives powered comfort positions.

What is a hi-low hospital bed?+

A hi-low bed adjusts its height. It lowers close to the floor to reduce the distance of a fall and raises to a comfortable height for a caregiver to work. On full-electric models the height is controlled by the remote.

What sizes do home hospital beds come in?+

Most homecare beds are about twin size. Some models also come larger. The Passport bed, for example, is available in twin XL, queen, and split king, which suits taller users or couples who want to share a room. Measure your space and doorway before choosing.

How much weight can a hospital bed hold?+

Standard homecare frames cover most needs, and bariatric beds add a wider sleep surface with a higher weight rating. Choose a capacity comfortably above the user's weight and confirm the exact figure listed on each bed.

Do hospital beds come with a mattress?+

Usually not. Most frames are sold on their own so you can pick the right surface. We carry foam and pressure-redistributing mattresses, plus low-air-loss options, and can help you match one to the bed and the user.

Do I need a prescription to buy a hospital bed?+

No. You do not need a prescription to buy or rent a hospital bed from us. If you plan to seek insurance or Medicare reimbursement, any prescription requirement and coverage rules are handled through your provider and plan, but nothing is required to purchase or rent from Affinity.

Should I buy or rent a hospital bed?+

Buy if the bed will be needed long term or you want a specific model and mattress. Rent if you need one for a shorter recovery or a temporary situation. We offer hospital bed rentals with delivery and setup in Salt Lake City.

Can you deliver and set up a hospital bed in Salt Lake City?+

Yes. We deliver and set up hospital beds across the Salt Lake Valley from our State Street showroom, and we ship nationwide for online orders. Call 801-906-3900 and we will arrange delivery and answer any questions.

Not sure which hospital bed fits?

Tell us the user's weight, the room size, and how the bed will be used. We will point you to the right bed, mattress, and rails, and set it up for you.
