Quick answer: The single crank hospital bed is KSh 25,000, the cheapest bed in the Hospital Beds Kenya catalogue. One crank raises the backrest. Buy it when the patient only needs to sit up for meals, medicine and visitors, and can still shift position on their own. If the patient cannot turn without help, move up to the 2-crank bed at KSh 30,000.

Who this bed suits
- A patient recovering from surgery who sits up for meals and walks short distances.
- A clinic that needs a spare observation bed anyone can operate.
- A family on a tight budget that still wants a wipe-clean medical frame instead of a domestic bed.
When to skip it
Skip the single crank if the patient is bedridden, cannot roll over without help, or needs the legs raised for swelling. One crank cannot do that work, and a caregiver ends up lifting by hand. In that case the 2-crank bed is the honest starting point and the 3-function electric bed is the one that saves the caregiver's back.
Mattress on this frame
The bed is sold as a frame. A hospital foam mattress at KSh 12,000 is wipe-clean and firm. If the patient will spend most of the day in bed, a ripple mattress with pump at KSh 6,000 is the pressure-relief option. If you want the frame plus a foam mattress in one purchase, the 1-function economy bed at KSh 27,000 includes one.
