One of the primary functions of pediatric hospital beds is to provide proper support and comfort. Unlike standard hospital beds, pediatric beds are tailored to accommodate the size and weight of children, allowing for appropriate positioning and reducing the risk of bedsores. Many pediatric beds are adjustable; caregivers can easily change the height and angle of the bed, which is beneficial not only for patient comfort but also for medical treatment. For younger patients, particularly those with mobility issues, these adjustable features may be essential for assisting with daily care tasks such as bathing and feeding.

Pain management is another vital component of rehabilitation, and various medical supplies are available to help alleviate discomfort. For instance, hot and cold packs, compression garments, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) units are commonly used to manage pain and promote healing. These tools can be easily integrated into a rehabilitation regimen, allowing patients to take an active role in their pain management and recovery journey.
