Standard Hospital Bed Mattress (Product Code: SLE/HF/17) is a general-ward hospital bed with a two-section platform, a crank-raised backrest and a 12 cm high-density foam mattress. It suits general and recovery wards, dispensaries, health centres and the demonstration wards of nursing schools, where a sturdy bed that sits patients up without electrical controls is what is needed. The bed is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the Ambala-based manufacturer of scientific & laboratory instruments that also equips hospital wards.

On a general ward most repositioning involves sitting a patient up or letting them lie flat, and this bed handles that with a single crank: turn it to raise the backrest anywhere between 45 and 70°, then fold the handle back under the frame. The two braked castors lock both wheel and swivel, so the bed stays put while a patient climbs in or out, and the corner bumpers protect walls when beds are moved during cleaning.
Because it is simpler than a four-section critical-care bed, it is usually the base item when a nursing school’s lab equipment tender in India covers a demonstration ward for bed-making, patient positioning and admission practice. Remove the zipped cover for laundering or wipe it with disinfectant between occupants, and keep the crank thread and castors free of dust.
The Standard Hospital Bed Mattress belongs to the ward furniture range of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the Ambala, Haryana company that trades as ScienceLab. You can read about the company on our profile page.

How is this different from the ICU bed?
This bed has a two-section platform with a backrest that adjusts from 45 to 70°. The ICU bed has four sections, a higher-reaching backrest, adjustable leg and foot sections and folding side rails.
Does it have side rails?
Side rails are not part of this model’s listed specification. If you need them, look at the ICU bed or ask us through the contact page.
What mattress comes with it?
A 12 cm high-density polyurethane foam mattress, density 30 kg/m³, in a washable, flame-retardant, liquid-proof cover that zips off at the side.
Do the castors lock?
Two of the four castors have total-lock brakes, which stop both the wheel rolling and the castor swivelling.
How high is the bed?
The platform is fixed at 50–51 cm without the mattress, and the 12 cm mattress sits on top of it.
