Nearly all insurance companies and plans only cover a semi-electric bed, which will raise and lower the head and feet areas but not raise and lower the height of the bed. A fully electric bed however is not covered by insurance. These beds raise and lower the head and feet and also have electric height management, which can make it much easier for users to transfer from wheelchair to bed, or for shorter people or those with a limited range of motion to get into and out of bed more easily. Most hospital beds are 80×36 in. and require twin-long sheets. You can get fully electric beds in different sizes like Full, Queen or even a Split King.
