There are a lot of advantages to having a hospital bed for your home recovery use, but for many people, the costs may look out of reach. When you’re ready, All-Star Medical has durable medical equipment, including a wide selection of hospital beds you need to aid your recovery or boost your ability to complete more tasks of daily living independently.

Equally important is the choice of mattress. Hospital mattresses are specially designed to alleviate pressure on the vulnerable parts of the body, which can help prevent bedsores, also known as pressure ulcers. These ulcers are painful and can lead to severe complications if not properly managed. High-quality mattresses, like those made from memory foam or with air overlay systems, distribute body weight evenly and reduce pressure points, thereby enhancing comfort for patients who may spend long periods in bed.
