In healthcare, comfort and care go hand in hand—and few tools impact both more than the hospital bed. The right bed not only supports recovery and safety but also improves the experience for patients and caregivers alike. Whether you're equipping a simulation lab, outpatient facility, or full-scale hospital, choosing the right model makes all the difference.
Here’s a quick guide to help you make the best choice for your space and your staff.
1. Match the Bed to Patient Needs
No two patients are the same. From pressure relief and mobility issues to specific positioning requirements, selecting a bed that aligns with your patients’ conditions is crucial. For example, patients recovering from surgery may benefit from advanced adjustability and elevation settings, while others may need skin pressure management features.
At Anchor Simulation, our lineup includes beds designed to support every level of care—because comfort and customization matter.
2. Prioritize Safety and Smart Positioning
Safety is non-negotiable. Look for beds with built-in safety features like side rail controls, bed exit alarms, and intuitive positioning systems. Models like the Hillrom VersaCare MedSurg Bed and Hillrom Centrella Smart+ Bed are equipped to reduce fall risks while enhancing caregiver confidence.
3. Focus on Mobility and Ease of Transfer
A bed that helps—not hinders—movement is key. Whether your patients are being repositioned or transitioning in and out of bed, features like smooth casters, low-height ranges, and stand-assist functions make transfers safer and smoother for everyone involved. This is especially important in fast-paced or high-acuity environments.
4. Choose Beds That Last
Hospital beds are a long-term investment. Choose models made with high-quality materials, easy-to-clean finishes, and durable construction. This ensures consistent performance, fewer maintenance issues, and improved infection control.
5. Optimize for Caregiver Workflow
Great beds support more than just patients—they lighten the load on your team. Look for ergonomic designs, programmable settings, and intuitive interfaces that let caregivers focus on care rather than controls. This can translate to less physical strain, better workflow, and improved outcomes.
