Note:

It should be stressed that not all hospital beds have these features. The amenities one will find depend on the hospital. The economic status of the city also determines the amenities of their hospital beds.

The dimensions of a hospital bed will continue to change and improve. As medical facilities change, so do the bed specs. The new upcoming hospital bed from Piedmont 361 will change the way we see hospital beds.
