Will this work with a hospital bed where the patient can be propped up?

No. This is positioned between the mattress and foundation. A hospital bed has no foundation. Also, this is too wide and does not "bend" so you would not be able to raise up the head of the hospital bed. If you continue with use of the hospital bed get "half side rails". Hospital beds usually come with full length side rails but you can get half rails from the vendor. They are half the length and while not meant to, they can be used to help a person position themselves. They will also be able to be raised and lowered.

This bar is made to help a person stay in or help get out of a conventional bed , so I am unsure if it would "fit " in the side of a hospital bed with built in side bars

Hi Timzy, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical Home Bed Assist Rail and Bed Board Combo. I do not believe that this item will fit your overall need. This item relies on the weight of the mattress and the person to keep it in place. If the user had the head area of the bed propped up the assist rail would not be as stable since it would not have the weight of that end of the mattress on it.

I only use it on a twin hospital bed and it has plenty of extra to tuck - hospital bed mattresses are pretty thin.

No it can't. But if you have a hospital bed, even an older one, that doesn't have any bedrails you can contact your local medical equipment supply store and ask if they can sell you just 1 or 2 bedrails that would clamp onto your type of hospital bed. If so they might even deliver them and put them on for you.

The rails are perfect for our hospital bed. They do fold down and a bedspread does cover them. If you want to make the hospital bed to even look more like a regular bed go to www.tendercarebeds.com

Yes, but I had to use this amazing glue they sell called E-6000 to glue the velcro onto fabric so it would reallys stay. These are super nice caddies and I'm glad I took the time to attach them. You may need a little extension to the flap to get it over a hospital bed...not sure.

I don't know. I have always used sheets made specifically for hospital beds. They stretch with the repositioning of the bed where sheets for a regular bed wouldn't.

maybe...the device I got works by sliding a flat part under the mattress (usually between the mattress and box) and then fastening it with a long belt so that it stays secure. Not knowing about the under-workings of a hospital bed, I'm not sure if the long strap would work. the picture here isn't what I got for my father. his had a smaller rail (maybe 1' x1 1/2', kinda square) and was stationary.

This is just an overlay air mattress with alternating pressure cells. It goes on top of whatever bed you have, hopefully a hospital bed. prevents bedsores.

yes- we are using it on a hospital bed that moves the head and foot up and down

No. It lies flat on the mattress and needs a "fitted sheet type of bedding item to hold everything together. I wanted a softer surface to accommodate an old back injury and it did the job. KRJ

My mom has a hospital bed... So there is no boxspring and it works on that. I'm not sure if that answer your questions but it's the best I can do.

I am not too sure about it folding far enough and adjusting to the sitting position of a hospital bed like would work. The mattress is great, a bit firm but contours to your body. I know enough about hospital beds so I can tell you from the heart, this might not work. Hospital beds have thinner mattresses so maybe you would be better off with a 5 inch one. The mattress is also quite heavy to handle by one person. I hope this helps some! Good luck! Isabel

I'm unfamiliar with a hospital bed and how they work differently from a traditional mattress. I would think they'd be fine, but can't say for sure.

No, it's a mattress for a hospital-style bed. It has sufficient firmness so the thickness isn't an issue for support. Hospital beds typically have back and leg sections that elevate and if the mattress is too thick, it can't bend properly. Also, since most of these beds are height adjustable, the thickness of the mattress is not important for bed height.

I guess you could, depending on where you place the unit. The rail is 20 inches long, but does not fold down like on a hospital bed. I use it for getting in and out of bed due to a bad back, so I place it at the head of the bed.

The headboard will fit snugly against your frame, but it's a very lightweight piece, so it will flex an inch or two. You can't sit up in bed and lean against it without causing it to rub against the wall. It's more decorative than functional.

It has straps. My mom has a hospital type bed. I attached to the frame and it is fairly sturdy, as long as you can get the strap tight. If you have a wood platform, you might consider using screws to help secure it. Hope that helps.
