Hospital beds are designed to support patient positioning, comfort and caregiver access in hospitals, clinics and home-care environments.
Different models offer different adjustment mechanisms and features.
1. Manual hospital beds
Manual beds use hand-operated cranks to adjust selected sections of the bed.
They are generally straightforward in design and do not depend on electric motors for adjustment.
2. Semi-Fowler and Fowler beds
Fowler beds allow the head and upper body to be elevated.
The degree and method of adjustment depend on the particular bed model.
These beds are available in different configurations, including manual and electric versions.
3. Electric hospital beds
Electric hospital beds use motorised controls to adjust selected sections.
Depending on the model, adjustments may include the backrest, knee section and overall bed height.
4. ICU beds

Depending on the model, features can include:
