Fowler Beds — Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Fowler bed?

A Fowler bed is a hospital bed with an adjustable backrest (and usually a knee rest) that lets a patient be positioned sitting up. TMR Medical supplies two-function (Fowler) and multi-function hospital beds with manual-crank or motorised operation to hospitals and care facilities worldwide.

What is the difference between a Fowler and a semi-Fowler bed?

A full Fowler bed raises the backrest to about 45–90° (near sitting), while a semi-Fowler bed raises it to roughly 30–45°. Semi-Fowler suits comfort, feeding and mild respiratory support; full Fowler suits sitting-up care and recovery.

What is the Fowler position?

The Fowler position is a semi-sitting posture with the head of the bed raised 45–90°, used to aid breathing, feeding and post-operative recovery. Fowler and semi-Fowler beds are designed to reach these positions safely.

What is a Fowler bed used for?

Fowler beds are used in hospital wards, nursing homes and home care to raise a patient's backrest and knees for comfort, feeding, breathing support and recovery, reducing the need for manual repositioning by staff or carers.

What is the difference between a Fowler bed and an ICU bed?

A Fowler bed offers backrest and knee-rest adjustment for general wards and home care, while an ICU bed adds multiple motorised functions — height, tilt, Trendelenburg and CPR release — for critical care. TMR Medical supplies both categories.
