Questions about beds and mattresses answered & stories told.

Hospital bed mattresses can vary in thickness, but they typically range from 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters). These mattresses are designed to provide support and comfort for patients while also meeting medical standards for infection control and durability. Thicker mattresses may be used in certain specialized medical settings or for patients with specific medical needs, but the standard thickness for most hospital bed mattresses falls within the range mentioned above. It's worth noting that hospital bed mattresses may also come in different types, such as foam, innerspring, or air mattresses, each with its own characteristics and thickness variations.
