Hill Rom Siderails Electric Hospital Bed with Hospital Mattress
Hill-Rom 900 Electric Hospital Bed, Pre-Owned NHS Stock, with Full-Length Siderails and Mattress
This is a fully profiling electric acute care bed from the Hill-Rom 900 platform, supplied with full-length tubular siderails and a compatible hospital mattress. Electric height, backrest, thigh, foot section and Trendelenburg adjustment let clinical staff position patients for nursing procedures, transfers and pressure area management without manual handling. Safe working load is 250 kg and the deck drops to 38.9 cm, a low height that supports safe patient egress and falls reduction. Central braking and steer control makes ward transport manageable for one person. The unit is pre-owned NHS stock in working order.

Model variant
The figures above match the Hill-Rom 900 bed platform. The 900 range was supplied in several configurations that differ in siderail style, castor specification, control layout and fitted options, and the exact variant of this unit has not been confirmed from a rating label. The bed is offered on the basis of the specification and photographs shown. Fitted options also vary between units from the same platform, so where a specific variant or option is essential, ask before ordering and the rating label and configuration will be checked.
Siderails, mattress fit and entrapment risk
Bed rails only reduce risk when the rail, the bed frame and the mattress are dimensionally compatible. A mattress that is too thin, too soft at the edges or too small for the deck leaves gaps at the rail, within the rail and between rail and mattress that a patient can become trapped in. Check the effective rail height above the compressed mattress surface and check every gap against current national guidance on the safe use of bed rails, and reassess whenever the mattress is changed, including any move to a dynamic or overlay surface. Bed rails are not appropriate for every patient and their use should follow an individual risk assessment rather than a routine default.
Delivery and access
- This bed weighs 144 kg and measures approximately 200 cm along the sleep deck. Measure every access point on the route before ordering, including external doors, internal doorways, corridor turns, stair widths and lift dimensions.
- Dimensions given are approximate and should be treated as a guide for access planning rather than exact figures.
- Delivery is to ground floor only and the bed is supplied fully assembled. It cannot be carried upstairs or dismantled for delivery.
- Two people should be available to receive the item. A clear path from the delivery vehicle to the room is required.
- Return shipping is at the buyer's expense and any delivery fee paid is non-refundable.
Routine care guidance
| Component | Action | Interval |
|---|---|---|
| Siderails | Check latching, movement and integrity, confirm gaps against the mattress in use | Before each use |
| Brakes and castors | Confirm the central brake holds, clear debris and thread from castor spindles | Weekly |
| Profiling functions | Cycle height, backrest, thigh and tilt through full travel and listen for actuator strain | Weekly |
| Mains lead and controls | Inspect the lead, plug and control panels for damage and fluid ingress | Weekly |
| Mattress and cover | Decontaminate per local policy, inspect the cover for rips, staining and seam failure | Between patients |
| Frame and fixings | Inspect for cracks, corrosion, loose fasteners and deformation | Monthly |
| Planned maintenance and electrical safety test | Engineer service and test | Per local schedule |
The above is general guidance. The manufacturer instructions for use and the operating organisation's decontamination and maintenance policy take precedence. Any bed showing a fault should be taken out of service until it has been repaired and re-tested.
