Quick answer: Choose a hospital bed by the movements the care plan requires, how often the position will change, the patient’s transfer method, caregiver capability, room access and expected rental duration. A Manual Semi Fowler bed provides manual backrest adjustment, a Manual Full Fowler adds manual knee-break adjustment, and electric beds add powered controls, with height and tilt functions available on selected models. Confirm the exact model and written clinical instructions before booking.
Hospital beds for home care: compare the actual functions
The number of functions describes independent bed movements. It does not make one model automatically safer or clinically better. Start with the positions and transfers written in the patient’s care plan, then select the least complex model that reliably performs those tasks.
| Bed option | Main adjustment | Current Sanjeevia model |
|---|---|---|
| Manual Semi Fowler | Backrest, manual crank | Manual Semi Fowler Bed with ABS side rails |
| Manual Full Fowler | Backrest and knee-break, two manual cranks | Manual Full Fowler Bed |
| 1-function electric | Powered backrest | 1 Function Electric Bed |
| 2-function electric | Powered backrest and knee-break | 2 Function Electric Bed |
| 3-function electric | Powered backrest, knee-break and bed height | 3 Function Electric Bed with ABS panels |
| 5-function electric | Backrest, knee-break, height and two whole-bed tilt functions | 5 Function Electric Hospital Bed |

Hospital-bed dimensions and room measurements
Sanjeevia’s current Manual Semi Fowler and Manual Full Fowler specifications list an approximate overall size of 2010 × 914 mm, about 6.6 × 3 feet. The 1 Function Electric Bed lists approximately 2100 × 1000 mm. Model dimensions can vary, so measure against the exact unit being supplied.
Measure the whole delivery route: building entrance, staircase or lift opening, lift cabin, corridor turns, bedroom doorway and final position. Allow working space on the side used for transfers and at the foot for controls, cranks and maintenance. The final clearance depends on the patient’s transfer method and the number of caregivers. Read the detailed hospital-bed dimensions and access guide before confirming delivery.

Who should compare which hospital bed?
- Manual Semi Fowler: compare when the care plan requires backrest elevation, changes are not frequent and a caregiver can safely use the crank.
- Manual Full Fowler: compare when manual backrest and knee-break adjustment are both required.
- 1 or 2 Function Electric: compare when powered backrest, or powered backrest and knee support, reduce repeated caregiver effort.
- 3 Function Electric: compare when adjustable bed height is important for the planned transfer or caregiver task, in addition to backrest and knee adjustment.
- 5 Function Electric: consider only when the written clinical plan requires functions beyond backrest, knee-break and height. Tilt functions should be used only under clinical direction.
Also confirm weight capacity. The current Manual Semi Fowler, Manual Full Fowler, 1 Function Electric and 2 Function Electric records specify up to 150 kg. The current 3 Function Electric with ABS panels specifies up to 170 kg, and the 5 Function Electric specifies up to 200 kg. Ask for a model-specific assessment when the patient is close to the stated limit.
Mattress, rails and power
The current models listed above include a four-inch medical-grade foam mattress, with the number of mattress sections matched to the platform. Do not substitute an ordinary rigid mattress. If side rails are being considered, the frame, mattress thickness and rail design must be compatible because unsafe gaps can create entrapment hazards.
Electric models operate on standard 220V AC power and do not all include battery backup. Keep the cable away from wheels, moving joints, fluids and walking routes. Ask for the demonstrated power-failure procedure and decide whether a suitable backup supply is required for the patient’s care plan.
What Sanjeevia includes at delivery
Current product records describe same-day delivery for orders placed before 4:00 PM, subject to service area and availability. Delivery, installation and a working demonstration are included, while the listed transport charge covers delivery and pickup. Before dispatch, Sanjeevia records a quality check and sanitisation process and sends a sanitisation-sticker photo through WhatsApp.
At handover, confirm the delivered model, functions, mattress, rails, accessories, brakes, controls, power-failure process, service contact and replacement procedure. Review the delivery policy and equipment breakdown and replacement policy. If you are still comparing options, use the equipment matcher or contact Sanjeevia with the prescription, patient weight, room measurements and expected duration.
Frequently asked questions
Does every hospital bed fit through a standard doorway?
No. Models may be delivered in components and assembled in the room, but the provider must confirm the largest component and delivery route. Measure the entrance, lift and turns, not only the final doorway.
Is an electric hospital bed always better?
No. Powered movement can reduce repeated manual effort, but the correct choice depends on the functions required, frequency of adjustment, power planning, caregiver ability and budget.
Is a mattress included with a Sanjeevia hospital-bed rental?
The current model records reviewed for this guide include a compatible four-inch foam mattress. Confirm the exact mattress and any pressure-care requirement before booking.
Can the bed be changed during the rental?
Contact Sanjeevia if the patient’s care needs change. Confirm any exchange availability, price difference and transport terms before arranging the change.
How quickly can a hospital bed be delivered in Delhi NCR?
Sanjeevia’s current product records state same-day delivery for orders placed before 4:00 PM, subject to coverage and availability. Confirm the delivery slot and access requirements when booking.
