What is a Home Hospital Bed?
A home hospital bed is an adjustable medical-grade bed designed for patient care at home. It allows caregivers to raise the head and foot sections, adjust bed height for safe transfers, and includes safety side rails. Hospital beds are essential for post-surgery recovery, elderly home care, and managing chronic illnesses.
What Types of Hospital Beds Are Available on Rent?
- Manual hospital bed — head and foot adjusted by hand cranks. Most affordable rental option.
- Semi-electric bed — electric head and foot adjustment, manual height. Good balance of convenience and cost.
- Full electric bed — all positions (head, foot, height) motorised via remote control. Ideal for patients with limited caregiver support.
- Fowler bed — fixed backrest angle, suitable when only head elevation is needed.
- ICU / critical care bed — advanced features for high-dependency home care.
Who Needs a Hospital Bed at Home?
- Post-surgery patients recovering at home (hip replacement, knee replacement, spine surgery)
- Elderly individuals requiring assisted positioning and transfers
- Patients with paralysis, stroke, or limited mobility
- Palliative and long-term care patients
- Post-ICU discharge patients needing home monitoring

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rent a hospital bed without a doctor's prescription?
Yes. Medrent does not require a prescription to rent a hospital bed. However, your doctor may specify the bed type (e.g., Fowler, electric, or traction) that best suits your condition — follow their recommendation.
How much does it cost to rent a hospital bed per month in India?
Hospital bed rental rates vary by type (manual, semi-electric, full electric). Contact Medrent at 9818601212 for current monthly rates in Delhi NCR. Wellness Plan subscribers get 90 days free usage per year.
Is home delivery of hospital beds available in Delhi NCR?
Yes. Medrent delivers hospital beds across Faridabad, Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, and all Delhi NCR areas. Delivery and installation are typically completed within 24 hours of order placement.

What is the difference between a Fowler bed and an electric hospital bed?
A Fowler bed has a manually adjustable backrest at a fixed angle — suitable for patients who mainly need head elevation. An electric hospital bed allows remote-controlled adjustment of head, foot, and height — ideal for patients needing frequent position changes or minimal caregiver effort.
Do I need a special mattress for a rented hospital bed?
Most Medrent hospital beds come with a standard medical mattress included. If your doctor recommends a pressure-relief or anti-decubitus mattress (for bedridden patients at risk of pressure sores), mention this when placing your rental order.
