About this equipment
A manual hospital bed does the two things an ordinary bed cannot: it raises the patient's head without a pile of pillows sliding out from under them, and it raises the whole platform to a height where a carer can wash, change and turn someone without wrecking their own back. The backrest and knee-rest run off crank handles at the foot end, so nothing depends on the power supply. Side rails fold down for transfers and lock up for sleep. For a family bringing a parent home after a fracture, a stroke or abdominal surgery, this is usually the right first bed — the electric versions add convenience, not capability.
Indications — when this is used
- Discharge home after surgery, fracture or stroke with limited mobility
- Patients who need the head of the bed raised for breathing or feeding
- Any situation where a carer is lifting, washing or turning the patient daily
- Long-term elderly care where an ordinary bed is too low to work at
Who it is for
- Families caring for a bedbound or partially mobile relative at home
- Nursing homes and small care facilities
- Clinics needing extra beds for short-stay observation

Also know about
The things that are easy to find out too late.
The mattress is not a pressure mattress
The included foam mattress is a sleeping surface. A patient immobile more than 16 hours a day needs an alternating-pressure air mattress on top of it, or pressure sores will develop regardless of the bed.
Cranking is a real task
Adjusting a manual bed takes 20–30 turns of the handle. Where the head is raised and lowered many times a day — reflux, feeding, breathlessness — an electric bed pays for itself in carer effort.
Measure the doorway first
The frame arrives in sections but the assembled bed is 900 mm wide. Anything narrower than 800 mm means assembling inside the room.
It needs access on both sides
Turning a patient is a two-sided job. A bed pushed against a wall makes proper repositioning impossible, which is how pressure sores start.
Safety & clinical information
Device information, not medical advice. Suitability for a particular patient is a decision for the treating clinician.
How it is installed and used
Delivered in sections and assembled in the room where it will be used. The technician levels the frame, fits the mattress and side rails, connects the controls, and demonstrates every position until the carer has operated each one unaided. Castors are locked once the bed is placed, leaving carer access on both sides.
Before delivery
Confirm the patient's weight is within the frame's safe working load, that the doorway clears 800 mm, and that the room allows roughly 2.6 m × 1.8 m with access on both sides. Patients immobile for more than 16 hours a day should have an alternating-pressure mattress arranged at the same time.
Ongoing care and servicing
Repositioning every two hours remains a nursing requirement — the bed assists it, it does not replace it. Side rails must be raised whenever the patient is unattended. Rental units are stripped, detergent-washed, disinfected and inspected against the manufacturer's reprocessing instructions between patients.
When not to use it
- Body weight above the rated safe working load
- Every frame states a maximum load including the mattress. Above it, a bariatric bed is required — the frame is not simply 'a bit overloaded'.
- Patients at risk of entrapment between rails
- Side rails carry a recognised entrapment risk for agitated or very slight patients. The rail gap must be assessed by the treating clinician before rails are used continuously.
Possible side effects
- Pressure ulcers
- A standard foam mattress does not prevent pressure sores in a continuously bedbound patient. Add an alternating-pressure mattress and keep to a turning schedule.
- Limb or digit pinch injury
- Fingers and IV lines can be caught in the backrest and knee-rest mechanism while it is moving. Check clearance before operating the control.
Serious risks
Life-threatening, permanently damaging, or requiring hospitalisation.
- Fall from bed
- Falls from a raised bed with the rails lowered can cause fracture or head injury and frequently require hospitalisation.
- Patient entrapment in side rails
- Entrapment of the head, neck or chest between rail bars, or between rail and mattress, can cause asphyxiation.
