A  bariatric patient bed   is designed for patients who require a higher weight capacity and a wider sleeping surface than standard hospital beds. These beds may include electric height adjustment, adjustable head and knee sections, reinforced frames, safety side rails, and heavy-duty casters. Bariatric beds are commonly used in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, long-term-care facilities, and home-care environments. Always verify the manufacturer’s weight capacity and specifications before selecting a bed.
