On-Demand Hospital Beds

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Brooklyn Bedding is Now Creating Essential Supplies for Hospitals

— March 31, 2020 — Art & Design
To address the global pandemic, many businesses are pivoting to help where they can, including Brooklyn Bedding, which is now applying its proprietary technology to making hospital beds on-demand. Well over a decade ago, Brooklyn Bedding got its start to solving a problem for the trucking industry—now, its expertise is being applied to support public health during uncertain times when many medical essentials are in short supply.

On-demand, Brooklyn Bedding is producing standard and non-standard size hospital beds with proprietary vinyl covers that have creased corner seals and other compliant materials to support hospitals and government agencies in need of assistance. The beds boast supportive foam layers, and are packed into rolls to allow for efficient, space-maximizing bed-in-box deliveries.
