If you’re in the market for a hospital bed for yourself or a loved one, you might be experiencing sticker shock.  The beds can cost an arm and a leg if you’re not careful.  And what do you do if you’re on a tight budget?  A brand new bed can eat up your money in no time.

But don’t despair.  You can get that bed you want…and need.  The easy solution is buying a used hospital bed.  Now don’t automatically say no to the idea.  Used hospital beds are not the same as used regular beds.  Basically, you would be buying the mechanism of the bed…the shell, if you will. Just add a brand new mattress and you’re good to go!

And if you’re thinking that you may not get the exact bed you want…that you’ll have more choices if you buy new, think again.  Once you start shopping for your used or refurbished hospital bed, you’ll soon discover you can find almost any brand and model you want.

Buying used versus new can easily save you tens of thousands of dollars.  Now keep in mind, this is for hospital beds…the type of beds that are actually used in health care facilities.  A home care bed will cost you a lot less but if you need all the features a full-fledged hospital bed has then looking at refurbished models is a must.

In fact, you may be able to afford a bed with more features if you buy a refurbished one.  Maybe you can upgrade from a manual bed to an electric one.  This is really crucial if you don’t have a caregiver or if the caregiver isn’t up to the task of operating a manual hospital bed.

So before you make up your mind, why not take some time to look at all of your options?  Because if you decide on buying a used hospital bed as opposed to a new one, you’ll save a lot of money and you might be able to get a better bed.
