A home hospital bed is published between $500 and $10,000 across the two guides read for this page, and the single thing that moves the number most is how many of the three movements are powered. Manual, semi-electric and full-electric are three different purchases, and the guides agree on the order even where they disagree on the figures.

What an adjustable hospital bed costs, drive type by drive type
Accora publishes manual beds under $600, semi-electric at $600 to $1,000, true full-electric function from $800, advanced full-electric at $2,000 to $3,000 and premium beds above $3,000, with its own Contesa from $2,899 and Empresa from $4,099. SlumberSource publishes manual at $500 to $1,000, semi-electric at $1,000 to $2,000, full-electric at $1,500 to $4,500, hi-low at $2,000 to $6,500 and premium homecare at $3,500 and up.
The two guides disagree, and the disagreement is the useful part
Accora puts semi-electric at $600 to $1,000; SlumberSource puts the same class at $1,000 to $2,000. Both cannot be describing the same bed. The gap is the difference between the bare frame with a hand crank for height and a frame with rails, a deck and a warranty behind it. A buyer holding one quote learns more from knowing the two published bands overlap only at their edges than from either band alone.
Home hospital beds: the bed is not the whole bill
SlumberSource publishes a mattress at $400 to $3,000, side rails at $150 to $400 a pair, an overbed table at $100 to $200, and delivery and installation at $300 to $800. On a manual frame published from $500 those additions can double the outlay, which is the single most common surprise in this category and the reason a quoted bed price should always be read with the question of what arrives with it.
Bariatric, pediatric and used hospital beds for sale, each priced differently
Accora publishes a basic electric bariatric bed at around $1,200 and advanced bariatric at $3,000 to $6,000; SlumberSource publishes bariatric at $2,500 to $8,000 and a rotating bed from $3,899. Pediatric is thinner: neither guide prices a child's bed, and the one published listing found for this record is the NitroCare Pippa 4420P at $4,999.00 against a list price of $6,648.67. Neither guide publishes a used figure at all.
What this page is not
A price record. It does not say which bed anybody needs, which is a clinical judgement, and it makes no claim about what any plan or program will pay toward one. Where a seller publishes no figure, this page says so rather than estimating. Every figure here is quoted from the seller's own published page, read on 10 September 2026.
Questions people ask about hospital beds
How does a semi-electric hospital bed differ from a full-electric one?
Which movements are powered. A semi-electric bed powers the head and foot sections and leaves height to a hand crank; a full-electric bed powers height as well. Accora publishes semi-electric at $600 to $1,000 and full-electric function from $800; SlumberSource publishes $1,000 to $2,000 and $1,500 to $4,500 for the same two classes.
Does a hospital bed price include the mattress?
Often not. SlumberSource prices a mattress separately at $400 to $3,000, side rails at $150 to $400 a pair and delivery and installation at $300 to $800. Any quote should be read for what it contains before it is compared with another.
What does a pediatric hospital bed cost?
Neither cost guide read for this page prices one. The single published listing found is the NitroCare Pippa 4420P at $4,999.00, shown against a struck-through list price of $6,648.67. One listing is not a market, and this record says so rather than filling the gap.
How much is a bariatric hospital bed?
The two guides put it at $1,200 for a basic electric model rising to $3,000 to $6,000 for advanced ones, and at $2,500 to $8,000 respectively. The width and the weight rating are what carry the price, not the drive type.
