Pediatric hospital beds are another type and category of hospital beds that can also be used for house hospitalization.
According to Merriam Webster, pediatrics is “a branch of medicine dealing with the development, care, and diseases of infants, children, and adolescents,” and pediatric hospital beds mean hospital beds.
Considering children's psychological needs during the treatment, this bed is designed to provide more confidence and comfort for them and nurses.
They are made from stainless steel and robust materials to provide solid and waterproof beds for those paralyzed children who cannot move their parts of the body or those who need their parents to sleep next to them.
The sideboard slides under the bed while it swings down and allows nurses or parents to be closer to patients.
The locking system for sideboards is very safe, and it has a particular pedal that can be located above castors.
For this reason, the locking system is not accessible to the child. Bumpers may be available to maximize shock absorption.
Some additional options include IV stands, urine bag holders, and so on, which may be available.
These hospital bed features facilitate nursing and caring, such as feeding, cleaning, etc.
People use these beds in their houses to hospitalize their sick children who need long-term treatment and anticipate the manufacturers for the high-quality materials and sound design with perfect guarantee and warranty.
They are busy with their sick children and do not have enough time to think about or care about the bed problems.
They need a service member to service them or fix the issues technically.
Electric Pediatric Hospital Bed
Whether electric or manual, pediatric hospital beds facilitate nursing and maintain sick children.
There are many differences between pediatric and adult hospital beds; for instance, the backrest fowler bends until 30 degrees, and their mattress has about 10 centimeters thickness.
The dimension of pediatric hospital beds is varied, but most are 177 centimeters in length and 95 centimeters in width.
They are so colorful with many funny stickers and posters of childish characters.
Their height can be adjustable or fixed.
These beds are integrated metals, strengthened chassis, flexible parts, and sections that can adjust by levers, handles, electromotors, and hydraulic jacks to have suitable functions and comfortable fowlers, from two to four.
Electromotors ease these adjustabilities.
There are two kinds of electric beds, fully electric and semi-electric.
Their differences are in height adjustment.
In semi-electric beds, height adjustment is by a lever, but it adjusts remotely in fully electric beds. In semi-electric beds, gas springs are used, but hydraulic jacks are used in fully electric beds.
All electrical parts are waterproof, and the chassis are washable and disinfectable for when there is some unsanitariness on and should be washed.
Thanks to the casters of these beds, patients can be moved easily, instead of transferring them from their beds to any stretchers or wheelchairs, and nurses or parents can carry them when they need any radiographic, ultrasonic, MRI, CT-Scan, etc., or should be carried to another part of the hospital. 
Rental Pediatric Hospital Bed
Some people may have rental pediatric hospital beds because their newborns get diseases, such as Jaundice, Low Birth Weight, etc.
They need to receive some treatments and have a nursery in the hospital or at home.
New mothers prefer to keep their neonatal in their homes rather than in hospitals.
Some pediatric hospital beds have special blue lights to treat them by phototherapy, and people would rather rent them instead of purchasing them.
Or for therapy and treatment of those with Low Birth Weight, the essential requirement is a temperature-controlled environment.
To achieve this goal, there are currently many methods that require the usage of various devices, among which the most common, other than incubators, are the Infant Warmers.
That is to say, open incubators with infrared radiant heating.
They are used as efficient methods for maintaining both the baby’s body and the bed at an ideal temperature.
These are most often used in delivery rooms and intensive therapy centers, but some prefer to provide them in their houses.
Renting is more affordable for people who need these beds for a short time, but it is better to be purchased for long-term use.
The reason is that when they rent a bed, they pay money for it, and after a long time, they lose a considerable amount of money against none.
At the same time, they can buy that bed with less than the amount and use it until they need it. After that, they can sell it as a second-handed bed and return at least half of that amount.
It saves more money and satisfies the necessary needs.
Renting pediatric hospital beds is suitable for those with enough income.
A person can invest in new hospital beds and then rent them. 
Pediatric ICU Beds
Medical and hospital equipment is made for specific purposes.
Pediatric beds also have different types for any usage like ICU, bassinet, etc. Pediatric ICU beds are separate from ICU beds for adults.
PICU beds provide all needs of a patient who wants to receive treatments.
The size of these beds is smaller than adult beds.
The functions are according to children’s needs: high, low, backrest, vascular, cardiac chair, reverse trend, and Trendelenburg.
All other adjustable parts and the whole bed design are compatible and modified according to the ICU requirements.
For example, these beds allow fast and easy access to the newborn.
They have separated washable mattresses that can be replaced by another easily or can be replaced by wavy mattresses to prevent bedsores.
If parents have to provide a PICU in their houses, they should provide all necessary equipment, such as ECG, defibrillator, ventilator, and bedside monitoring systems.
Some companies can supply all of these devices for their customers, whether they need them for pediatrics or adults.
They can equip a room as an ICU.
When a company supplies many things, the prices will be more affordable, and the services will be more satisfactory.
