Two-Function Electric Hospital Bed: What to Look For & Why Custom OEM Matters
In today’s healthcare environment, patient comfort, caregiver efficiency and operational flexibility are not optional—they are essential. One of the unsung heroes in this space is the hospital bed. When designed thoughtfully, a high-quality bed enhances patient recovery, minimizes staff strain and supports facility logistics. But not all hospital beds are created equal. This article focuses on the two-function electric hospital bed—a bed equipped with height adjustment and backrest angle control—and explains what to look for, why customization matters and how to select a reliable OEM/ODM partner.
At CSMFG, we offer a comprehensive solution for healthcare institutions, providing high-quality two-function electric hospital beds with adjustable height, backrest articulation and full OEM/ODM customization. Here’s a guide to help you evaluate and select the best solution for your facility.
Key Features of a Quality Two-Function Electric Hospital Bed
When assessing electric nursing beds, focus on the following core features:
Materials & Construction
The bed must be built to withstand heavy use. A combination of steel frame and ABS polymer components offers durability plus ease of maintenance. For example, our model features steel and ABS construction designed for general nursing use. (csmfg.com)
Dimensions & Weight Capacity
Standard dimensions such as 1980 × 900 × 500 mm and an approximate weight of 60 kg provide a stable base while being maneuverable in hospital rooms. (csmfg.com) Integration of caster wheels with brakes and sturdy frames is crucial.
Height Adjustment Mechanism
Height adjustment facilitates better ergonomics for caregivers and improved accessibility for patients. The example bed offers a 500 mm height adjustment range using an electric actuator. (csmfg.com)
Backrest Angle Control
The ability to change a patient’s back-angle is vital for comfort and care (e.g., feeding, examination, resting). The model supports a backrest angle range of 0-80°, controlled via remote or foldable handle. (csmfg.com)
Safety Features & Accessibility
Safety rails—in this case made of aluminum alloy and foldable—help patients ingress/egress while maintaining safety. A foldable design enhances adaptability. Also, wheels with brakes improve mobility and secure positioning. (csmfg.com)
Customizable & Transport-Friendly Design
A bed that can be disassembled or folded for transport reduces shipping cost and simplifies set-up. The example mentions “bed can be uninstalled to save space and transportation charges.” (csmfg.com)
Customization Options
Hospitals often require branded equipment, tailored packaging or specific configurations. This product supports OEM/ODM, customizable logos and packaging (min order applies). (csmfg.com)
Why OEM/ODM and Small Minimum Order Quantity Matter
For many hospitals, clinics or nursing homes, customization is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Branding, bed color schemes, specialized dimensions and tailored accessories matter for institutional identity, patient experience and workflow integration.
The ability to order from a minimum of 1 piece means you can test a product or pilot a new bed type without committing to large inventory. In the CSMFG offering, the stated Min.Order = 1 pcs demonstrates this flexibility. (csmfg.com)
OEM/ODM capabilities mean the manufacturer supports your brand identity, specification tweaks (size, color, accessories) and packaging needs, which is particularly relevant when you’re sourcing beds for a branded facility or export market.
What to Consider When Selecting a Hospital Bed Supplier
Choosing a supplier is more than buying a bed—it’s selecting a long-term partner. Consider these factors:
- Supplier Experience & Specialization: Do they have expertise in medical equipment manufacturing and a track record of meeting healthcare standards?
- Technology & Manufacturing Capacity: Can they satisfy your size, quantity, customization and lead-time requirements?
- Quality & Certification: Are beds manufactured under verified quality systems? Do they meet medical device regulations or relevant standards (e.g., IEC 60601-2-52 for hospital beds)?
- Communication & OEM Support: Does the supplier offer design support, OEM/ODM customization, and flexible branding?
- Lead Time & Scalability: In the example product, lead time for 1-5 units is 10 days, for 6-100 units 40 days, and >100 units negotiable. (csmfg.com)
- Logistics & Packaging: Disassembly for transport, packaging specified, port of export (e.g., Shanghai) all matter.
- After-Sales Service & Spare Parts: Can they support maintenance, parts replacement, remote assistance?
CSMFG addresses these criteria with its product offering—OEM/ODM support, customizable packaging and small-volume flexibility. (csmfg.com)

Enhanced accessibility & mobility – Foldable guardrails and wheels with brakes help with patient transfers, room cleaning and repositioning.
Space & logistics efficiency – Disassemblable design lowers shipping cost and simplifies room installation, important for hospitals expanding or refurbishing.
Branding & institutional alignment – OEM/ODM customization with logos and color options helps institutions maintain a consistent branded look, useful for large-scale roll-outs.
Small volume flexibility – The ability to order from a single unit allows trial runs, pilot tests or phased roll-out without large upfront inventory.
