Home-use electric hospital beds

Hospital beds are commonly used for home-based rehabilitation or for users who are bed-ridden. 

The basic functions of hospital beds include the adjustment of the lower and upper body to allow the user to sit upright or to elevate their lower limbs. Other additional features include ascending and descending of the entire hospital bed, which is great to reduce physical strain on the caregiver, and left and right adjustment which turns the user automatically. These functions achieve the goal of reducing bedsores, improving blood circulation, and reducing physical strains on caregivers. 

These are 3 main types of motorized hospital beds available in the market. There are factors to consider before you can choose the right hospital bed. Most cases only require 2 or 3-function hospital beds. For more severe cases, such as full immobility or if the user has several bed sore spots on their body, the 5-function electric hospital bed is more suitable. The 5 function hospital bed has a special function that can allow automatic periodic left and right elevation to help the user turn without external assistance from their caregivers. 

MA4U offers delivery for both direct purchase and short-term/ long-term rental of hospital beds in Singapore.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. Yes. The hospital bed is electrically motorized to elevate both the upper and lower body to increase blood flow and to assist the user to sit upright for various activities such as eating. 

If the elderly or the user is prone to falling off the bed, the side railings of the hospital bed can be barriers to prevent the user from falling off during their sleep. Otherwise, if the hospital bed is not required, the user can consider purchasing an adjustable bedside railing, which serves the same purpose but can be plug-and-play with any mattress that has a solid base.

  1. Bed sore
  2. Muscle and joint stiffness due to inactivity
  3. Mental stress due to lack of activity 
These are common problems faced by bedridden users and lack of care to tend to these issues might eventually result in annoyance and agitated emotions from the user.  Using the right hospital bed accessories can help to greatly reduce the chances of these issues from surfacing. These are some recommended hospital bed accessories:

  1. Alternating pressure air mattress

    Reduces bed sore through automated inflating and deflating of the air pocket in the mattress. This reduces the pressure placed on each surface of the the skin and increases air flow between the skin and the mattress, which in turn greatly reduces the chances of bed sores.

  2. Turning cushion

    Turning cushion is a great tool for the user to perform basic physiotherapy on the bed. With a rounded bottom and 2 dents for the legs to be slotted in, the patient, with or without the help of the caregiver, can do simple hip rotation. This helps to maintain muscle and joint fluidity, reducing the chances of muscle stiffness.  The turning cushion can also be a great tool to reduce caregiving stress by making it easier to perform diaper change.

  3. Heel protector

    Staying in bed for a prolonged period of time can result in skin issues around the heel area. Designed with comfort in mind, the heel protector provides users with additional comfort with the use of velvet material.

Yes. Depending on the user’s eligibility, they may qualify for the Senior’s mobility and enabling fund. Do check with SMF for more details!

Yes. We provide hospital bed delivery within Singapore for both purchase and rental units. Delivery is normally arranged within the week.

Getting the right hospital bed for your loved ones depends very much on their needs and requirement. Any factors missed out might result in wasted funds, discomfort experienced by the user or even injury.

For example, we had a patient who feels pain when she is moved around by her caregiver due to should pain. When handled by human, there might be a difference in strength exerted, resulting in an imbalance felt by the patient. For this case, a 5-function home-use hospital bed is more suitable as the bed, on top of lifting the bed, upper and lower body, is able to lift the patient and turn them to either side. With a flat surface, the mattress provides a balance lifting motion, reducing the amount of pain felt by the patient.

If you do not know which hospital bed is suitable, you can talk to the physiotherapist before discharge or approach our team who has medical background and product knowledge to assist you in getting the right hospital bed.
