What Is the Price Range for a Used vs. New Hospital Bed in Oakville?

When purchasing a hospital bed in Oakville, Ontario, the decision is normally around whether to buy a new bed, or a pre-owned bed. Both new and pre-owned beds have positives and negatives, and both will exist within a wide range of price points depending on the features, condition, warranty, and vendor selling the bed. This article attempts to suggest a rough price range and examine the main price-affecting factors.

1. What affect of the hospital bed cost

Before submitting figures, the big factors affecting price are:

• Bed type: crank manual, semi-electric (just head or foot), full electric (height, tilt, incline all motorized), and bariatric beds.
• Features: safety side rails, low-height safety specifications, special mattresses (pressure relief, air-flow, low-air loss, etc.), motor control, remote, or pendant controls.
• Brand & warranty: Popular medical equipment brands tend to ask for higher prices and usually include better warranties; used beds may not come with any.
• For used beds, condition matters: age, hours of use, are all parts (rails, motors, mattress) in a good state?
• Delivery/setup-in-windowed setting: costs can differ depending on where you buy (furnisher, medical equipment store, private sale), plus if delivery and setup are included.

2. Price Of Used Hospital Beds in Oakville and Neighbouring Markets

From listings posted on Kijiji in Oakville/Halton Region and surrounding vicinities, this is what the used market shows:

Type/Condition Typical Asking Price (used)

• Basic mechanical or manual hospital bed (few features) CAD $200 ‑ $500 
• Electric or semi-electric beds with working motors, rails, mattress included CAD $700 – $1,500+
• Like-new used beds or slightly used full-electric models CAD $1,200 – $1,800 or more depending on specs

Some high-end used/refurbished beds with advanced features or large weight capacity may cost more. But for many home users, the used market for electric hospital beds would tend to fall between $700 and $1,500, depending on condition and number of accessories.

3. New hospital bed prices in Oakville

• High-end full-electric beds especially with pressure-relief mattresses, bariatric capability, or special tilt functions should probably be priced at CAD $2,500 and above.  Max Medical Equipment 

Also, its kind of an important fact to remember that if these beds were bought new, they should come under a warranty and be of the latest safety and regulatory standards in Canada, so that should act as peace of mind for durability.

4. Comparing “Used vs New” — what you hypothetically gain or lose

Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages to consider:

• Used has the advantage of being much lower in upfront costs; possibly able to get cheaper models with more features; good value if in solid condition. New has the advantage of being under a warranty, safety certifications, less likely to contain defects, longer expected life span, more likely to have parts and support.
• Disadvantages of used: is that it runs the risk of wear & tear (motors failing, rust, sanitation); missing accessory parts; may be under warranty that is non-existent or very short; used mattresses may have to be replaced.

Final thoughts

• Gives you immediate needs: What features are required (electric height, side rails, special mattress), and what is your budget?
• Used beds must be inspected very carefully: test the motors, check the frames and rails for rust/electrical faults, ask for a history and maintenance record.
• Extras will need to be factored in: a mattress, delivery, setup, warranty, or service support can add substantially to the price.
• Consider renting if temporary use is intended — maybe in some circumstances, it’s best to rent rather than to buy used or new.
