Behavioral Health Beds for Psychiatric & Mental Health

Behavioral Health Beds: Secure, Tamper-Resistant Beds for Psychiatric and Mental Health Settings

Behavioral health beds are purpose-built for psychiatric units, mental health facilities, and behavioral care environments where patient and staff safety is the top priority. Unlike standard hospital beds, behavioral health beds feature tamper-resistant security screws and fasteners throughout the bed system, hidden and secured wiring to prevent ligature risk, staff-controlled lockout systems embedded in the foot-end panel, bolted-on mattress retainers, and high-impact HDPE head and footboards that resist damage and are easy to clean.

Our behavioral health beds include full-electric positioning with hi-low height adjustment, heavy-duty side rails with solid rail design for added security, central and directional locking casters with a removable locking tool, and HDPE secure deck covering for patient safety and infection control. Staff controls allow clinicians to lock out individual bed functions or shut down all movement with a two-button security code.

For facilities that need heavy-duty beds without the behavioral security features, see our bariatric beds for high-capacity frames or our med-surg beds for general hospital use. All behavioral health beds from SlumberSource include free delivery. Call 888-912-2746 to discuss your facility’s specific safety and compliance requirements.
