A comfortable hospital bed can provide a support point for the patient to rest, allowing the patient to save energy and better recover. So, how much does a modern hospital bed cost?
Why should you know the cost of a hospital bed?
For individuals
If you are a patient, you will need some time to recuperate after being discharged from the hospital. Depending on your physical condition, the functions of the hospital bed you need to use will also be different. You can make a better decision on a hospital bed that suits you and is cost-effective based on your own situation.
For medical institutions
If you are a purchasing staff of a medical institution, you need to provide different medical services for patients with different physical conditions. It is very necessary to understand the cost of different types of hospital beds. This can help you better provide better medical services for the patients of your medical institution.
For purchasing manager
If you are a purchaser or wholesaler, you need to understand the costs of various types of hospital beds with different functions. This can help you make better purchases based on your local market conditions and avoid a mismatch between supply and demand.
What factors affect the cost of hospital beds?
1. Types and functions of hospital beds
The type and function of a hospital bed are important factors that affect the cost of a hospital bed. Manual hospital beds are less expensive because they do not use electronic components such as motors and control boxes; semi-electric hospital beds cost more than manual hospital beds; fully electric hospital beds cost the most because all of their functions are driven by motors and control boxes. In terms of functions, the more functions a hospital bed has, the higher its cost.
2. Material of hospital bed
The materials and texture of a hospital bed are also one of the factors that affect its cost. The quality of a hospital bed depends on the solidity of its materials, the thickness of the steel pipe and the quality of the welding process. We recommend that patients choose a comfortable and ergonomically designed hospital bed based on the material, which will help patients save energy and recover better.
3. Brand
Brand is also one of the factors that affect the price of hospital beds. Just like shopping in a supermarket, products from well-known brands always bring some product premiums. The same is true for hospital beds. However, it must be admitted that the quality of products from well-known brands is also guaranteed.
4. Procurement method
There will be a price difference between purchasing from the source factory and purchasing from an import and export company. If you need to purchase in bulk, it is more cost-effective to purchase from the source hospital bed factory.
How much do different types of hospital beds cost?

The cost of a manual hospital bed includes bed frame, bed head, guardrail, casters, crank, etc. The power supply is not included, so it is relatively cheap.

The cost of a semi-electric hospital bed includes bed frame, bed head, guardrail, casters, crank, motor, control box, power cord, and remote control, etc. Only one or two functions will use the motor, so the price is relatively expensive compared to manual hospital beds, and relatively cheaper than full-electric hospital beds.
Full-electric hospital bed will cost about $250- 500.
The cost of a full-electric hospital bed includes bed frame, bed head, guardrail, casters, motor, control box, power cord, and remote control, etc. All functions of a full-electric hospital bed are controlled by motors, and one function corresponds to one motor, so a full-electric hospital bed is the most expensive compared to manual hospital beds and semi-electric hospital beds.
Bariatric hospital bed will cost about $550-650.
The cost of a bariatric hospital bed includes bed frame, bed head, guardrail, casters, motor, control box, power cord, remote control, and weighing module, etc. Due to the particularity of the weight of patients using bariatric beds, the bed frames of bariatric beds are thickened and reinforced. Some bariatric beds have added weighing functions to better monitor weight.
ICU bed will cost about $600-2000.
The cost of ICU beds includes bed frames, bed heads, guardrails, casters, motors, control boxes, power cords, remote controls and CPR panels. ICU beds have more functions than ordinary hospital beds, so the number of motors is relatively large. Therefore, the price of ICU beds is the most expensive.
