Right here we have a five-inch foam mattress. This is by Drive Medical. Typically, you’re gonna see innerspring mattresses. To be honest with you, they’re not a very comfortable mattress. If you’re wanting something, you want a foam mattress. Most people, that’s a big transition issue that we have. People coming from a regular bed, then they go into a facility, whether that’s a hospital, or a rehab center, nursing home, something like that for a little bit of a stay, they go from their nice bed to most of your facilities have a foam mattress. And then they go home and sometimes get an innerspring. So it gets less and less comfortable. So that’s where we try to always do a fully electric bed with a foam mattress. We rent these short-term and we also do purchases of them. So we try to figure out what works best. Because if you don’t meet the qualifications by insurance, it doesn’t mean you don’t need a hospital bed.

An extra heavy-duty hospital bed (E0302, E0304) is covered if the beneficiary meets one of the criteria for a hospital bed and the beneficiary’s weight exceeds 600 pounds.
