Hospital Beds for Home

What Is a Hospital Bed?

Hospital beds (also called hospital-style beds) have all the functionality of a bed you would find in a hospital ward - but there are a few key differences.

The beds we make are thoughtfully styled for the home environment, making them much nicer to look at. Our range of hospital beds are pleasantly styled, unlike traditional hospital beds that are institutional looking. Our homely designed hospital beds ensure people using them feel at home whilst catering to their needs.

At Opera Beds, we aim to redefine the traditional medical bed, creating a new standard for hospital beds in the UK.

Our beds have several features that can help with nursing care. Settings include back adjustment options for sitting up in bed and leg adjustment for elevating your feet. Most of our beds also allow for different height adjustments, meaning that the whole bed can be raised and lowered to ease access and facilitate nursing care. 

Our beds come in a variety of different styles and widths that can be customised with headboard and fabric options. This allows you to choose a hospital bed that suits your needs and your decor.

At Opera Beds, we provide the entire package. As well as a wide range of adjustable mattress types to choose from, you can also add accessories such as grab handles, overbed tables, fall-prevention side rails and more to support you in your home.

Why Should You Buy an Opera® Hospital Bed?

Our beds come with many different features designed to help you with your day-to-day life, with fantastic service also provided by us as part of the overall package. 

We’ll work with you to provide suitable recommendations and advice so that you can choose the best hospital bed for your needs. Our collection has beds for now and future use, in case your care needs change.

We're well known across the care sector for combining homely design with advanced medical features and excellent build quality. We also have a wide range of hospital bed stock, which allows suitable beds for every need.

If you’re unsure of which bed type is suitable for your needs, our handy guide to our range of beds should help you make the right decision.

As you can see, there's a reason why the NHS and other care providers choose to buy Opera® premium hospital beds. If you're still weighing up your options, the list below should give you an idea of the type of quality you can expect from one of our beds:

• Smooth and quiet operation that maximises comfort and avoids disturbance
• Our hospital beds are adjustable and can be moved up to a carer's waist level as well as close to the floor, to accommodate varying nursing care needs
• NHS approved and listed on the NHS supply chain
• Homely and customisable luxury designs, making our beds particularly suitable for style-conscious buyers
• Reliable 3 to 5-year parts and labour warranties
• Fast next-day delivery and optional home installation service
• Peace-of-mind 10-night home trial available on any bed

Our range of hospital beds are suitable for people needing a bed quickly when being discharged from hospital and those requiring long-term care at home.

How Can an Opera® Hospital Bed Benefit Your Life?

Buying a new bed is never an easy choice, particularly if it's required for a care setting. Both functionality and comfort will be top of your list of priorities, so taking the time to explore the different settings and styles available is well worth the effort.

To help you during the thinking process, we've created this section to show you all the different ways that using one of our beds can help you. 

And, if you find that you still need more advice, call our phone number and a member of our friendly team will help to answer any remaining questions you may have.

Get Quality Care at Home

One of the primary reasons people choose to purchase a hospital bed is because they have a medical condition or mobility issues in which a bed can help them. Either the hospital or care home may recommend the use of a hospital bed, or a user or loved one may get in touch directly.

Regardless of the situation you find yourself in, a hospital bed provides comfort and support and makes life easier. They promote independence and allow you to live comfortably at home. 

Our profiling care beds are specifically designed for those who might otherwise need community care and are ideal for bed-based care. They can be adjusted to different heights to help carers if they're needed. We also offer larger profiling beds for bariatric patients or those who need more space in bed. 

If in doubt about what sort of bed you might need, get in touch and we'll go through your options.

No Need to Hire a Bed

If you're coming out of the hospital, you can also choose to apply to hire a bed from the council or your local authority. However, whilst this may be cheaper than buying a bed, there may be long waits - especially in the event of a shortage of hospital beds, which is common.

There is a huge demand for hospital beds - this impacts both the beds available in hospitals and beds you can hire from the council. Because of this high demand, these beds are often only hired out on a temporary basis. You can also hire beds from private companies, but this can be rather expensive in the long run.

At Opera Beds, we have an extremely quick turnaround time, from ordering the bed all the way through to installation. We have a next-day service available if you need a bed urgently - you can also opt for our home installation service, in which our Opera® engineers set up your bed in your home. 

On a budget? Not a problem. We offer a wide range of beds at different price points. If you think you might need to use the bed for a long period of time, buying (instead of hiring) is the long-term money-saving option.

Choosing the Right Hospital Bed for You

If you'd like to buy one of our beds but you're not quite sure how the process works, there's no need to worry. We make the buying process simple. Starting with a free consultation to understand you/your loved ones needs and have plenty of stocked beds available for same-day dispatch.

If you or a loved one is due to come out of hospital soon, your health care planning team is likely to have asked you to arrange for a hospital bed for your home. They usually won't be willing to proceed with the discharge until suitable arrangements have been made, although this will depend on your personal circumstances.

The team at Opera Beds is here to help you through this process, assisting you by advising on the most suitable medical bed for your healthcare needs. If you're already living at home and your needs have progressed, we'll work with you to supply a bed for long-term care to enable you to stay at home comfortably.

Once you've had a browse through the different bed options available, we recommend you give our team a call to help you choose the one that's most suitable for you. You can also use our online bed selector tool - simply answer some easy questions about your needs and you can get instant bed recommendations and pricing information. 

Once you are confident you know which bed is right for you, we aim to deliver your bed as quickly as possible. We understand that timing can be crucial when dealing with patient care, which is why we have plenty of beds available for next-day delivery when you order by 3pm. We provide fast home delivery and installation options with next-day and same-day options available where needed.
