Best Hospital Bed Suppliers in Kenya
Who published this. This page is published by Ripple Mattresses Kenya, a ripple mattress supplier on Ronald Ngala Street in Nairobi CBD. We are one of the businesses listed on it. We have said so at the top rather than at the bottom, and we have described every other supplier from their own public information rather than from opinion. Google ratings and review counts were read on 21 August 2026 and change over time. Nothing on this page is paid placement and no supplier was contacted for approval.
A hospital bed and the mattress that goes on it are two separate purchases, and the mattress is the one that prevents pressure sores. Most Kenyan hospital bed suppliers ship the bed with a thin foam mattress that is adequate for a patient who moves and inadequate for one who does not. If the patient is immobile, budget for the bed and a pressure-relieving overlay together, and check the bed's platform measurements before buying either.
Buy the bed from a supplier who delivers and installs, because a manual or electric hospital bed arrives in pieces and a stairwell in a Nairobi apartment block is not the place to discover that. The suppliers below all have public track records for delivery and assembly. Before you order, measure the room door, the lift if there is one, and the space the bed will stand in with the head raised. Then decide the mattress separately, based on how mobile the patient is rather than on what the bed came with.

|---|---|
| Address | Kenya Cinema, Moi Avenue, Nairobi |
| Hours | Mon to Fri 8AM to 7PM, Sat 8AM to 5PM, closed Sunday |

Beds come up repeatedly and specifically in their reviews, with assembly support and unusually fast countrywide dispatch, including deliveries upcountry reported inside a few hours. Forty reviews at five stars is the strongest combination of volume and rating among the bed suppliers we checked. If you are buying one bed for one patient and you want it up and working the same day, start here.
2. Afyacare Medical Supply and Services Kenya
Best for beds bought as part of a facility fit-out| Google rating | 5.0 from 64 reviews, read 21 August 2026 |
|---|---|
| Address | Development House, Tom Mboya Street, Nairobi |
| Hours | Listed as open 24 hours |
| Phone | +254 727 910589 |
Reviewers describe hospital beds supplied alongside concentrators, monitors, couches and trolleys, delivered and installed in clinics from Kisii to Eldoret, with servicing afterwards. That is a procurement relationship rather than a retail sale. Excellent if you are equipping a facility; more supplier than a single household usually needs.
3. Paula Health Solutions Ltd
Best for installation and demonstration on delivery| Google rating | 5.0 from 23 reviews, read 21 August 2026 |
|---|---|
| Address | Deluxe Mall, Mezzanine Floor, Koinange Street, Nairobi |
| Hours | Mon to Fri 9AM to 5PM, closed weekends |
| Phone | +254 717 677659 |
The recurring theme in their reviews is a technician arriving with the equipment, assembling it and demonstrating it before leaving, including on long upcountry trips. For an electric bed going to a family who has never used one, that is worth more than a small price difference. Weekday hours only, which is the trade-off.
4. Mediplug Medical Supplies Kenya
Best for a bed plus everything else in one delivery| Google rating | 4.6 from 14 reviews, read 21 August 2026 |
|---|---|
| Address | Muthaiga Business Centre, Nairobi |
| Hours | Mon to Fri 8:30AM to 7PM, Sat 9AM to 7PM, closed Sunday |
| Phone | +254 743 586275 |
A hospital supplies wholesaler with long hours including most of Saturday, and reviewers reporting quick turnaround on urgent single items. If the discharge is on Friday and you need a bed, a commode and a mattress before Monday, the Saturday opening is the practical advantage.
5. Orthohub Limited
Best for buying a bed and accessories from a CBD shop you can visit| Google rating | 4.8 from 65 reviews, read 21 August 2026 |
|---|---|
| Address | Ronald Ngala Street, Nairobi |
| Hours | Mon to Fri 8AM to 6PM, Sat 8:30AM to 4PM, closed Sunday |
| Phone | +254 702 441720 |
Broad medical range, the longest visible review history on Ronald Ngala Street, an online shop and pay on delivery. Beds are one category among many rather than a speciality, so confirm what is in stock, but the ability to walk in and look at the frame before committing is a real advantage on a large item.

We are last on this page rather than first because we do not sell hospital beds and it would be dishonest to rank ourselves above suppliers who do. We are on the page because the mattress question is the one most bed buyers get wrong. The foam mattress supplied with most hospital beds spreads pressure but never removes it, which is adequate for a patient who shifts position and inadequate for one who cannot. If your patient is immobile, an alternating pressure overlay goes on top of whatever mattress the bed arrives with.
Before you order a hospital bed
- Measure the doorway, the lift and the corridor, not just the room. Beds are delivered in sections but the frame is still the largest single piece.
- Confirm whether delivery includes assembly, and whether that costs extra.
- Decide manual, semi-electric or full electric on the caregiver, not the patient. A single caregiver lifting alone needs electric height adjustment far more than the patient does.
- Ask what mattress is included, and treat it as a foam base rather than a pressure care surface.
- Check the bed platform width before ordering any overlay, so the mattress and the bed actually match.
Order a ripple mattress with pump
Complete set at KSh 6,000, down from KSh 8,500. Same-day delivery in Nairobi, pay on delivery after you inspect it. Countrywide courier after a phone confirmation.
Common questions
How much does a hospital bed cost in Kenya?
It varies widely by type, from manual crank frames at the bottom of the market to full electric beds several times that. Prices move often enough that quoting a figure here would mislead. Ask two or three of the suppliers above on the same day and compare like for like.
Does a hospital bed come with a mattress?
Usually a thin foam one. That is adequate for a patient who can reposition themselves and inadequate for one who cannot. For an immobile patient, budget separately for a pressure-relieving overlay.
Can a ripple mattress be used on a hospital bed?
Yes. It is an overlay that sits on top of the existing mattress and secures with flaps at the head and foot. It works on a hospital bed and on a standard domestic bed.
Manual or electric hospital bed for home care?
Decide it on the caregiver. If one person is repositioning the patient alone, electric height and backrest adjustment prevents more injuries, to the caregiver, than anything else you can buy.
