Tilt-Top Overbed Table | Hospital Bed Table for Home

This deluxe overbed table rolls up to a hospital bed, recliner, or chair and puts a sturdy 30 x 15 inch surface right where it is needed: in front of the person in bed, at a comfortable height. The column sits at one end, so the H-base slides under the bed while the top reaches over the mattress. Meals, a book, a tablet, glasses, and a water cup stay within easy reach, with no twisting or leaning toward a nightstand. What sets this table apart is the tilting top. Loosen the knob and the walnut wood-grain laminate top tilts up to 33 degrees in either direction, turning it into a reading stand or writing desk. Tighten it and it locks flat for meals. Height adjusts anywhere from 29.5 to 46 inches: lift gently under the top to raise it, squeeze the lever to lower it, and the column locks as soon as you let go. The chrome-plated steel H-base rolls on four swivel casters, two of which lock to hold the table in place. It holds up to 50 lb and carries Drive Medical's limited lifetime warranty. Sitting upright to eat matters, especially for anyone with swallowing difficulty. MedlinePlus guidance on swallowing problems advises sitting upright for 30 to 45 minutes after eating. A table that comes to the person at the right height makes it far easier to sit up straight for a meal than balancing a plate on the lap or a wobbly bed tray. Ideal for anyone using a hospital bed at home, people recovering from hip, knee, or back surgery, hospice and long-term care, and caregivers who want mealtimes and bedside activities to be easier and more independent.
