Choosing a home care bed can feel like a big decision.
There are many options available, and it can be hard to know what will suit the person, the carer, the bedroom and the daily care routine.
Mobile showrooms, home trials and in-home assessments can all be helpful in the right situation. But before choosing a home care bed, one step still matters.
You need to compare properly.
That is where a showroom can make a real difference.
Quick answer
A showroom gives families, carers and health professionals the chance to compare different home care beds, mattresses, rail options and features side by side.
A home trial can be useful in more complex care situations, but it works best after the right bed has already been identified.
In simple terms, a showroom helps you compare properly. A home trial, where appropriate, helps you confirm properly.
A home trial is not the same as comparing your options
A home trial usually shows you one bed in one room.
A showroom gives you the chance to compare different home care beds, mattresses, rail options and features side by side.
This helps families, carers and health professionals see how each bed works in real life. It also helps people understand the small details that can make a big difference at home.
Sometimes the bed someone first had in mind is not the best fit once they compare it with other options.
That is why starting in a showroom can help make the decision clearer.

Choosing the right bed is about more than comfort
A home care bed should feel comfortable, but comfort is only one part of the decision.
The bed may also need to support:
- safer transfers
- better positioning
- easier carer access
- daily personal care
- room layout
- use with a hoist or other rehab equipment
- suitable rail options
- easy-to-use controls
These are practical details that matter once the bed is being used every day.
By appointment, our product specialists can work with clients, carers and occupational therapists to look at the bigger picture. This helps make sure the bed suits the person, the home and the way care is provided.
Not every bed is designed for the same purpose
Different home care beds are designed for different needs.
Some adjustable beds are often chosen for comfort, positioning and easier transfers. Selected iCare and ComfiMotion models may suit people who need support with everyday rest, sleep and movement in and out of bed.
These options can often be explored well in a showroom, where you can compare mattress types, bed height, positioning functions and companion bed options.

Trying the controls in person helps families understand how practical the bed will feel day to day.
Other beds are designed for more complex care needs.
For example, the Regia home care bed combines a more homelike look with advanced care features and adaptable rail options.
The Tereno floorline bed is designed for more involved care environments. Its very low height range and configurable safety features can support people with higher care needs.
When choosing between beds like these, seeing them in person can make the differences much easier to understand.

Where home trials can help
At Statewide Home Health Care, we offer home trials on selected beds, including the Regia and Tereno.
For more complex care environments, a home trial can be an important part of the decision-making process.
But it works best after the right bed has been identified.
Once the most suitable option has been chosen, a home trial can help confirm how the bed works in the actual care setting. This may include:
How the bed works in the room
- room fit
- hoist access
- carer access
- surrounding rehab equipment
How the bed works for daily care
- transfers
- rail use
- handset practicality
- positioning and comfort
The key difference
Why people still choose the showroom experience
People visit a showroom because they want clarity.
They want to see how different beds work. They want to compare mattresses. They want to understand the features. They want to ask practical questions and make a confident decision.
This is especially important when the bed will be used every day by an older person, a person with disability, a carer or a support team.
A showroom gives families and health professionals the chance to make a more informed choice before the bed is delivered into the home.

Frequently asked questions
Why should I visit a showroom before choosing a home care bed?
A showroom lets you compare different beds, mattresses, rail options and features side by side. This can help you make a clearer decision before the bed is delivered into the home.
Is a home trial better than visiting a showroom?
Not always. A home trial can be helpful in more complex care situations, but it usually works best after the right bed has been identified. A showroom helps you compare first, then a home trial can help confirm the fit if needed.
Can occupational therapists attend a showroom appointment?
Yes. Occupational therapists, carers, family members and support workers can attend by appointment to compare home care bed options and ask practical questions.
What should I compare when choosing a home care bed?
It is useful to compare bed height, mattress options, rail setup, controls, transfer support, carer access, room layout and whether the bed may need to work with a hoist or other rehab equipment.
Can I trial a Regia or Tereno bed at home?
Statewide Home Health Care offers selected home trials on the Regia and Tereno for more complex care environments. Speak with our team to discuss whether a home trial may be suitable.
