2. How to Inspect a Used Hospital Bed
After you have picked a bed to buy, inspect the following areas:
Frame & Stability

Motor & Mechanical (Electric Beds)
- Push all the buttons to raise/lower head/feet/height.
- Listen for grinding sounds.
- Ask if parts are available for replacement.
Mattress Condition
- No stains or tears and smell odors (replace dirty).
- Firm support (no sagging).
- Consider purchasing a new pressure-relief mattress compatibly and separately.
Weight Limit
- Standard beds: 300 to 500 pounds
- Bariatric beds: 500 to 1,000+ pounds
3. Red Flags to Avoid
- No impresive evidence of sanitization (bed bugs, bacteria).
- Movement jerky and stuck (defective motor).
- Missing pieces and parts (rails, cranks, remote).
- Sold “as is” with no returns.
