How to Choose a Hospital Bed for Home
If the bed is going in a bedroom and you want it to stay looking like one, start with the Harmony Hi-Low. If someone could roll or fall out of bed, choose a low bed that drops close to the floor. If the budget is tight and a caregiver can turn a crank, a semi electric bed does the job. Every Drive bed here takes a standard 36 by 80 in hospital mattress, and rails and a mattress can come in one package.
Does it need to look like a hospital bed?
A hospital bed often goes into the bedroom someone has slept in for years, sometimes beside a partner. How it looks matters more than people expect, so decide this first.
The most premium choice, and the least institutional
The Harmony Hi-Low does what a hospital bed does, raising and lowering the whole bed and moving the head and foot, but it looks like an upholstered bedroom bed. It comes in Twin XL, Full, Full XL, Queen and Split King, so two people can still share a bed.
It also adds massage, a wireless remote and under bed lighting. It is a base only: pair it with a flexible mattress such as the Harmony Relax, and add the matching Harmony Hi-Low Side Rails if you need them.
Wood look, same hospital bed features
The Drive Solite Pro has wood look head and foot ends and a slim platform, so it sits more quietly in a bedroom than a classic hospital bed.
It takes a standard 36 by 80 in mattress, and you can choose grab handles instead of full rails to keep it looking lighter.
Hospital style, lower cost
The Drive Delta and Delta Pro beds are the familiar home hospital bed frame. They are practical, easy to clean and the most affordable way into a full electric bed.
They suit a spare room, a main floor bedroom, or anywhere function comes first.
Fall risk and how low the bed goes
If someone could roll out of bed, the lowest height matters most. A low bed shortens the drop to the floor. It then rises again so a caregiver can wash, dress or move the person without bending.
Low for sleeping, high for helping
The Drive Full Electric Low Height goes the lowest, to 9.25 in, and up to 23 in. The Drive Delta Pro Low goes from 10 to 23 in.
The Drive Solite Pro starts at 11.6 in and rises the highest of the Drive beds, to 28.2 in, which is easy on a caregiver's back.
Lowest bed height of each Drive bed, as published by Drive. The low height on the Drive Full Electric Low Height needs its castors set for low position rolling; set for rolling at any height, it goes from 14.81 to 23 in.
Full electric or semi electric?
Every bed here raises the head and the foot with a button. The difference is how the whole bed goes up and down.
Height by button, or height by hand
On a full electric bed, one hand control moves the head, the foot and the height of the whole bed. The person in bed can do it alone, and a caregiver can bring it to working height in seconds.
On the Drive Delta 1000 Semi Electric, the head and foot are electric but the height is set with a crank at the foot of the bed. It costs less, and suits a bed whose height is set once and rarely changed.
Everything by button
The Drive Delta Pro is Drive's newest frame, with a glow in the dark pendant and a no sag steel slat deck. The Drive Delta 1000 Full Electric is the proven classic.
Head and foot by button, height by crank
The Drive Delta 1000 Semi Electric is the most affordable bed here. The crank stores on the foot board when it is not in use.
Stopping the slide down the bed
When only the head of a bed rises, the body slowly slides toward the foot. That rubs the skin at the base of the spine and means a lot of pulling back up the bed. Two beds here are built to stop it.
Knees up as the back comes up
The Drive Solite Pro is a profiling bed. Its backrest slides back as it rises and the knee section bends, so the person sits up and stays put.
The Drive Full Electric Low Height has Auto-Contour: one button raises the head and the foot together. On the other beds you raise the foot yourself, which works well too.
Rails and the mattress
Rails and a mattress are chosen right on each Drive bed page, so everything ships together and fits. Here is how to choose.
Half rails, full rails or grab handles
Half rails guard the top half of the bed and leave the foot end open for getting in and out. Full rails run the whole length, for someone who must not leave the bed alone.
Grab handles, offered on the Drive Solite Pro, simply give something firm to hold when sitting up or standing. If you are unsure, ask us before you choose full rails.
Therapeutic 5 Zone foam
Drive 15019, 36 by 80 by 6 in, with five comfort zones. It bends with the bed as the head and knees rise. The best choice for most people who spend a lot of time in bed.
Innerspring
Drive 15006, a firmer innerspring with a waterproof vinyl cover that wipes clean. Offered with the Delta 1000 and Full Electric Low Height beds.
The Harmony Hi-Low sizes take residential mattresses, not a 36 by 80 in hospital mattress. Choose one made for adjustable bases, such as the Harmony Relax.
Power cuts, weight and size
Check what happens in a power cut, and that the bed holds enough weight. Every Drive bed here holds 450 lb in total, except the Solite Pro, which Drive rates for a person up to 421 lb.
Height, capacity and power cut backup for every bed
| Bed | Bed height | Capacity | In a power cut |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drive Full Electric Low Height | 9.25 to 23 in | 450 lb total, person up to 350 lb | Hand cranks for height, head and foot |
| Drive Delta Pro Low | 10 to 23 in | 450 lb total | 9 volt battery returns it to flat (battery not included); manual cranks included |
| Drive Solite Pro | 11.6 to 28.2 in | Person up to 421 lb | No battery backup |
| Drive Delta Pro | 13.5 to 23 in | 450 lb total | 9 volt battery returns it to flat (battery not included); manual cranks included |
| Drive Delta 1000 Full Electric | 15.5 to 21.5 in | 450 lb total | 9 volt battery in the hand control lowers the head and foot |
| Drive Delta 1000 Semi Electric | 15.5 to 21.5 in, by crank | 450 lb total | 9 volt battery lowers the head and foot; the crank needs no power |
| Harmony Hi-Low | Whole bed raises and lowers | 880 lb evenly spread, including mattress and people | Battery backup |
Every Drive bed here takes a standard 36 by 80 in hospital bed mattress and is about 36 in wide, so check the room has space to walk around at least one side. The Solite Pro is a little wider, 37.9 in without rails.
Four mistakes worth avoiding
Buying a standard height bed for someone who may fall. If rolling out of bed is a worry, a low bed is the safer choice from day one.
Choosing full rails without asking. Full rails are not right for everyone. Half rails or grab handles often give the help needed while leaving a way out.
Using a regular mattress on a hospital bed. A Drive bed needs a 36 by 80 in mattress that bends with the frame. A thick household mattress fights the bed and can leave a gap at the rails.
Not measuring the room and the doorways. Allow space to walk around at least one side of the bed, and check the route in. Every bed here ships boxed and is put together at home.

Which one is right for you
Find the line that sounds most like you and start there.
The Harmony Hi-Low is the most premium and least institutional. The Solite Pro has wood look ends.
Choose a low bed that drops to 10 in or lower.
A profiling bed or Auto-Contour keeps them in place.
A full electric Delta bed.
Semi electric: head and foot by button, height by crank.
The Harmony Hi-Low comes in Queen and Split King, so each side can move on its own in Split King.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a hospital bed and an adjustable bed?
An adjustable bed moves the head and foot. A hospital bed also raises and lowers the whole bed, so getting in and out is safer and a caregiver can work at a comfortable height. The Harmony Hi-Low does both while looking like a bedroom bed.
Which hospital bed goes the lowest?
The Drive Full Electric Low Height, at 9.25 in with its castors set for low position rolling. The Drive Delta Pro Low goes to 10 in and the Drive Solite Pro to 11.6 in.
What is the difference between full electric and semi electric?
Both move the head and foot with a button. A full electric bed also raises and lowers the whole bed with a button. A semi electric bed, such as the Drive Delta 1000 Semi Electric, sets its height with a hand crank.
What size mattress does a hospital bed need?
Every Drive bed here takes a standard 36 by 80 in hospital bed mattress. You can add a Drive Therapeutic 5 Zone foam mattress, or an innerspring on some beds, right on the bed page. The Harmony Hi-Low takes residential sizes from Twin XL to Split King, and needs a mattress made for adjustable bases.
Do the beds come with rails?
You choose. Each Drive bed page offers half rails, full rails or no rails, and the Solite Pro also offers grab handles. The Harmony Hi-Low has its own matching Harmony Hi-Low Side Rails, sold separately.
What happens to a hospital bed in a power cut?
It depends on the bed. The Delta 1000 beds use a 9 volt battery to lower the head and foot. The Delta Pro beds return to flat with a 9 volt battery, which is not included, and come with manual cranks. The Full Electric Low Height uses hand cranks. The Solite Pro has no battery backup and stays where it is until the power returns.
How much weight can a home hospital bed hold?
The Drive Delta, Delta Pro and Full Electric Low Height beds hold 450 lb in total, including the person, mattress and rails. On the Full Electric Low Height the person can weigh up to 350 lb. The Solite Pro is rated for a person up to 421 lb, and the Harmony Hi-Low for 880 lb evenly spread.
Does delivery include setup?
No. Every bed ships free across Canada, boxed, in 4 to 9 business days, and is assembled at home. The Delta Pro frames go together without tools, and each Solite Pro section weighs under 55 lb.
