Acute Care Hospital Beds for Critical & Intensive Care

Acute Care Hospital Beds for Critical and Intensive Care

Acute care beds are designed for patients with the highest acuity needs — those recovering from surgery, managing critical illness, or requiring intensive monitoring and frequent repositioning. These beds go beyond standard hospital bed functionality with features like advanced Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positioning, ultra-low bed heights for fall prevention, integrated scale systems, digital nurse control panels, and CPR quick-release mechanisms.

SlumberSource carries acute care beds built for both facility and home use. Our models include reinforced steel frames, entrapment-compliant side rail systems, and expandable deck widths for bariatric patients. If your needs are less acute, our long-term care beds offer durable, cost-effective solutions for nursing homes and assisted living, and our med-surg beds provide hospital-wide versatility with smart technology for safer patient handling.

Every acute care bed from SlumberSource includes optional white-glove delivery and professional installation by our own certified technicians. Call 888-912-2746 to discuss which acute care bed is right for your clinical or home care situation.
