Child Hospital Beds for Home Use

The height of the deck—the top surface of the bed—can be adjusted on home hospital beds with a Hi-Low feature. A lower deck allows children with mobility issues to more easily get out of or into the bed or to transfer to a wheelchair. But low beds are not ideal for caregivers when they are working with the child.

A Hi-Low bed such as the Supernal Hi-Low or the Supernal 5 can be electronically adjusted to the perfect height. The Supernal 5 has a deck-to-floor range of 12 inches to 24 inches, and the Supernal Hi-Low a range of 10.5 inches to 20.5 inches, making these two options the most comfortable fit for pediatric care.

Our extra-wide Full and Queen beds are typically four inches wider than the standard frame measurement. We also offer a three-quarter specialty size for some models, which measures 48 inches by 80 inches, providing extra width compared to a twin while still fitting into tighter spaces than a larger bed.

Wider beds are useful for pediatric care because a caregiver or parent can comfortably fit on the bed with the child. This allows for more accessible care and treatment, as well as letting a parent stay with their bedridden child in comfort.

For children with mobility issues, a Hoyer-style lift may be useful to transfer the child to and from the bed. The Supernal 5 is fully compatible with most low-profile Hoyer Lift Systems. Other useful home hospital bed accessories for children include bed rails, bed rail covers, headboards, and locking wheels.
