Can this be used on a hospital bed without getting in the way of the head and feet moving up and down?

I do not know. we have a standard bed. you might ask an occupational therapist this question, even if you are not usingthe services of a home health agency, they usually will be happy to answer questions for you.

I do not know the answer to that because my mother used hers on her home bed. I do not believe it would be able to slide under the matresse of a hospital bed.

No. The board under the mattress is rigid and does not flex. Sorry, flat mattresss only.

No it can't. It is held in place by the mattress, so if you elevate the head it would become displaced.

Yes. You do not have to attach it to the bed. The side can go up. The sides are super breathable.

Hi Norma. If you can't get on the floor I would recommend you get something other than this product to help you. I don't think using it in bed would be a great idea and it really is just a cheap bit of curved plastic so I don't know how much it would help you. Sorry.

yes. It's easy to fold and roll away to where you want. Just make sure the use the "clip" provided so the bed won't unfold during movement.

No. I bought mine because I have a hospital bed. The stretchy material moves with the bed and helps keep them in place when the bed is raised and lowered,

Hard to answer without knowing the height of the bed and how you would use in said bed. I use it in my living room directly in front of my easy chair sliding it back over my legs to eat or use a laptop or whatever. I had to adjust the legs to reach just the height that I felt comfortable for its use. It slides easily on my floor so no problem with that, but all these things are variables depending on your own location and use. I can say that if you are looking for the sturdy long type of hospital table that wheels over a bed for that type of use, this is not it. This one is smallish and less sturdy but my apt. is small and for me this does the trick. I don't think it would serve well as over the bed type table. Better off looking for the more substantial hospital type wheeled table.

I would think yes...I use it on a craftmatic bed that goes up and down. I don't see the difference in that and in a hospital bed. We have had ours for over a year and it sleeps the same as when we first bought it.

I bought it to help my mother stepping up to bed only. Her weight is 172 lbs. So, I put a rubber backing mat to avoid sliding and it is working fine.

Yes, the bed does move up and down as you asked. Only the Full Electric bed performs this way. The range is from a low of 14 inches up to 32 inches, all at the push of a button. Thank you for your interest in The Medical Supplies Store, let us know if we can help in any other way.

My mother-in-law has to sleep practically sitting up. She has used this to relieve discomfort she had due to a pressure sore. She slept sitting on it, but like I said she has a hospital bed and has to sleep sitting up. If you were laying down, I don't know how comfortable it would be.

We used the very small rubber sheet to place under a cotton sheet for our 4 yr old grandson for occasional accidents. Not sure if you could slide it under a patient as we made bed before child got in it. But it isn't slippery if that helps.

I'm unfamiliar with a hospital bed and how they work differently from a traditional mattress. I would think they'd be fine, but can't say for sure.

Yes. There are no wheels, so in order to move it you'll have to pick the whole unit up. Same goes for moving it away while in bed. Once you've tightened the joints where you want them the will not move until you loosen them.

Depends on the mattress and box spring but mine was not stable where the cane was attached to the base so I returned it. My husband had Parkinsons and the style of the bed cane would have made it even harder for him to get in and out of bed.

Mine is placed on the frame of a hospital bed, the kind of bed where the mattress is on a spring instead of a solid base. I think a solid base might be better.

Yes, they are. We have two different type hospital beds and mattresses and they fit both very well and don't "pop" off when the head or foot is raised.
