Frequently Asked Questions About Home Hospital Beds for the Obese
What is the weight capacity of a home hospital bed?
Most standard home hospital beds have a maximum capacity between 300 – 500 lbs. Heavier patients should choose a Heavy Duty bed, which supports up to 600lb or a Super Heavy Duty bed, which supports up to 750 lbs.
Customers who require treatment during which a caregiver is on the bed with them should remember to take this additional weight into account when choosing a bed.
Which mattress should I use with a home hospital bed for the obese?
The ideal mattress for your home hospital bed depends on your weight. Transfer Master home hospital bed mattresses from the Supernal Sleep System range support up to 500 lbs. For heavier customers, we offer the Supernal Atlas bariatric mattress, which is designed for customers up to 750 lbs.
Does a hospital bed mattress help prevent bedsores?
Yes. Home hospital bed mattresses are designed to combat the causes of bedsores. They use a progressive support structure to ensure that weight and pressure are effectively distributed and that the surface of the body does not experience excessive pressure. They are designed to reduce shear to underlying tissues and prevent the build-up of heat and moisture. The Supernal Atlas Bariatric Mattress features a top-layer with eight hundred independent support cells to reduce shear and friction and a layer of air to better distribute pressure.
