Beds and Mattresses for Medical Use This SIN includes but is not limited to medical grade beds, either with or without the mattress included. The bed springs have sections which may be raised or lowered to position the upper body, knees, and overall height of the bed frame. The head and foot of these beds are adjustable by electric motors or hand cranks. Bed height may also be adjustable by electric motors or hand cranks. Various inner-spring or foam mattresses that are designed to bend with the positioning of the bed may be included; some mattresses are designed to provide a pressure relief sleep surface. These beds typically include bed ends, and may include various accessories that attach to the bed, such as: side rails, pendant hand control, grab bars to assist an individual in and out of bed, foot support, blanket support, and bed alarms. These beds exclude non-adjustable bedsteads having a one-piece bed frame or a bedspring which folds for storage only, such as beds typically used in barracks or other dormitory type quarters, or as household furniture. They also exclude household beds having purely ergonomic adjustments.
Note: Parties interested in Total Hospital Room Solutions including Beds and Mattresses for Medical Use should see GSA Federal Supply Schedule 71, SIN 71-315 for information.
