Hospital Bed & Care Bed Hire in Reading

Local Support When You Need It Most

When someone you care about needs medical support at home in Reading, having the right equipment makes all the difference. We’re here to help families across Reading, Caversham, Tilehurst, and the surrounding Berkshire areas access quality hospital beds and care equipment – quickly, professionally, and with a personal touch.

Whether you’re arranging care for a relative returning from the Royal Berkshire Hospital, needing short-term support after surgery, or planning for longer-term care needs, we provide straightforward solutions delivered directly to your door.

Helping Reading Families with Home Care Equipment

Short-Term Hire: Recovery at Home

Perfect for temporary situations

Sometimes care needs are unexpected or short-lived. Our rental service is designed for flexibility:

• Post-operative recovery after hospital discharge
• Short-term respite care at home
• Temporary illness or palliative support
  
  

What you get: Delivery to your Reading home, professional setup in the room of your choice, clear weekly or monthly rates, and hassle-free collection when you no longer need the bed.

Long-Term Purchase: A Permanent Solution

For ongoing care requirements

When care needs are lasting, buying can be the more practical and economical choice:

• Creates a stable, familiar environment
• More cost-effective than extended rentals
• Equipment remains yours for as long as needed

What you get: Quality-assured beds (new or expertly refurbished), professional delivery and installation, and a full demonstration so everyone feels confident.

Extra Support: Accessories to Complete the Setup

• Pressure relief mattresses for comfort and prevention of bed sores
• Bed safety rails to prevent falls
• Overbed tables for meals, books, or tablets
• Monkey poles to help with repositioning

3. Choose a Delivery Time

We work around your schedule – evenings and weekends can be arranged.

4. We Deliver, Set Up, and Show You How Everything Works

Our team brings the equipment, assembles it safely in the chosen room, removes all packaging, and makes sure you’re comfortable using it before we leave.

Questions Reading Families Often Ask

“How quickly can you get a bed to us?”

We keep good stock locally. For orders placed before midday, we can often deliver the same day or the next morning. When someone’s coming home from the hospital, we understand every hour counts.

“What’s actually included in the hire price?”

Everything except the bedding. The bed frame, mattress, delivery, setup, and eventual collection are all included. No hidden extras, no surprise costs.

“Our home isn’t very big – will the bed fit?”

Most of our beds are designed with home use in mind and fit standard bedrooms. If space is tight, we can suggest the most compact options. We always recommend measuring doorways and the room before delivery.

“Do I need to be there for the delivery?”

Yes please – we need someone over 18 to let us in and show us where the bed is going. We’ll also need to demonstrate how everything works to the person who’ll be using it or caring for them.

“What happens if the bed isn’t quite right once we’ve tried it?”

Call us. We’ll talk through the issue and, if needed, swap the bed for something more suitable. We want the setup to work properly for everyone.

“Do you take away the old bed?”

We can discuss this when you book. In many cases, we can arrange removal of the existing bed, though there may be a small charge depending on what’s involved.
