will this mattress conform well to an adjustable bed as in hospitals?

I agree. This would fold in an adjustable bed. If your bed has large gaps in the slats like in a standard bed (non-platform), the mattress will sink into the gaps a little. I placed some thicker cardboard down first and the mattress holds up nicely with that without compressing into the gaps.

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

Yes, I folded up 2 ft of my mattress and it conformed nicely. Those are going to be some comfy patients

Hmmm. My first thought on that would be "no". It's an extremely thick mattress and I would think that it would slide rather than bend. But if it were secure within the frame of the adjustable bed and could not slide off the end of it then I suppose it could work. I know that is not a definitive answer and honestly I would contact the company before purchasing the mattress. http://www.lucidmattress.com/#contact

I'm not sure what a hospital mattress is made of, but the foam mattress comes with a basic cover on it already which might help on the wire grid. I would definitely go with the waterproof cover, though you might need a thicker mattress for a standard cover to fit well. My fitted sheet is a little loose on the 6" mattress.

You can only fit a box spring, and queen mattress, I'm not sure what u mean by an adjustible bed, as long as it's no bigger than queen size

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.

We use it for a mattress for the top bunk of our son's bunk bed which doesn't require a thick mattress and box spring. Underneath the mattress are slacks which are smooth and flat. With that being said, I would not use it for a hospital bed that has thick wire. I hope this helps.

My mattress is very thick so I appreciate the stretching. It will probably suit your needs as well. I think it is very well made and should stand up to its claim. I have not had any problems with mine.

I had a standard hospital bed and they worked very well. We also had a mattress pad and foam egg crate cushion on the bed. Everything fit perfectly. It's too hot to put the sheet directly on the mattress. They were very soft and comfortable as well.

Our hospital bed has box springs and this mattress is over that. It has worked good. It replaced a three inch mattress that came with the bed.

I ordered this for my daughter-in-law for my grandchild. It is adjustable. I only purchased one mattress for this bed.

I wouldn't recommend it. We ended up getting my mom an adjustable bed. The new bed has an existing rail that adjusts up and down just like the typical hospital bed; so we no longer use it. Also, I doubt that the board that slides underneath the mattress would fit well with the adjusting mechanism of the mechanical bed. However, prior to getting this bed, we did have it set up on an existing full size regular bed and the arm was not sturdy enough. When my mom would pull up on the bar it would not remain stationary.

If adjustable base you mean one with the ability to raise the head and feet sections separately I would say possibly, though probably not (it depends on the base). The mattress itself is fairly flexible so bending it is not much of a problem, though it may be too light and would not sit properly if the bed was adjusted. If the adjustable base is built with weak supports and straight bars you might find it uncomfortable (I am thinking of a fold-out bed in a hide away couch here). On the other hand, the mattress is a premium high-density foam mattress and some adjustable bases are designed to work perfectly for these. While the manufacturer recommends you use a flat, solid base or the floor (they do work great if you like minimalist furniture living) I so think that it would work fine for any bed that can use a high-density foam mattress. A good rule of thumb is that if the foam mattresses from IKEA could work in the base, this mattress should also work fine (and cost half as much as the equivalent mattress from there).

This was a question I had, too, because my hospital bed mattress was longer than a regular one. I breathed a sigh of relief when I put on the sheet for the first time. The stretch in the sheet gives it plenty of room for a long mattress.

The system fits a standard hospital bed. It is kept in place by two flaps that folds under the mattress. I am satisfied with the product.

Mine is placed on the frame of a hospital bed, the kind of bed where the mattress is on a spring instead of a solid base. I think a solid base might be better.

Yes, this is the mattress for my mother's hospital bed- not an overlay. She says it is MUCH more comfortable than the worn-out mattress that came with the bed. It was saggy and caused her much back pain. This mattress has helped her back, thankfully.

Although the mattress is bent into a compact circle when it arrives in the package, after opening, it expands to a nice thick mattress. I doubt that it would work on an adjustable bed.
