Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What’s the difference between a hospital bed and a regular adjustable bed?
Hospital beds are designed for medical support, with features like adjustable height, head/foot positioning, side rails, and specialized mattresses for pressure relief. Regular adjustable beds may only offer head and foot elevation and are not built for clinical or long-term care use.
Can I rent a hospital bed instead of buying one?
Yes! MedServ offers monthly rentals for most hospital beds. Renting is a great option for post-surgery recovery or short-term needs. Delivery and setup are included for your convenience.
Do hospital beds come with mattresses?
Yes, all hospital beds include a standard medical mattress. We also offer optional upgrades to premium foam or pressure-relief mattresses for added comfort and support.
What is the weight capacity of each bed?
Weight capacity depends on the bed model, but most beds' capacity starts at 350 lbs. Some beds, especially larger queen—and king-sized beds, have capacities between 450 and 600 lbs. If you need a bariatric bed, please contact us for availability.
Will MedServ deliver and set up my hospital bed?
Absolutely. We offer local delivery, in-home setup, and removal of packaging materials. Our trained staff ensures your bed is ready to use and safely installed.
Does insurance cover any part of a hospital bed purchase or rental?
Coverage varies by plan and medical need. While MedServ is not a billing provider, we can provide documentation to help you submit a claim to your insurance, HSA, or FSA plan. Check with your provider for specifics.
Can I try a bed in person before I decide?
Yes! We encourage you to visit our showroom to test different models. For many beds, we also offer "Try Before You Buy" rentals, where rental payments can be applied toward purchase if you decide to keep the bed.
