A standard hospital bed is a twin size with an XL length. Most such beds also feature an extension kit that allows the length of the bed to be extended by another 4 inches.
The standard hospital bed is designed to bear a maximum weight of 450 pounds. Bariatric hospital beds have wider sleeping areas, and their weight-bearing capacity is higher.
