Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare is proud to announce the upcoming launch of the Teddy Bed – a next-generation paediatric hospital bed built for safety, comfort, and compliance.

Developed in collaboration with children’s hospitals and grounded in real-world clinical needs, the new Teddy Bed brings a fresh level of care to paediatric wards, offering an advanced solution tailored specifically for children, teenagers, and young adults. This innovative bed meets the latest safety requirements under BS EN 50637:2017, setting a new standard in paediatric hospital equipment.

Designed Around the Needs of Young Patients

Children, and some smaller adults, have unique needs, and so do the caregivers who support them. That’s why the Teddy Bed was designed from the ground up with a child’s proportions and vulnerabilities in mind. Featuring a mattress platform suitable for patients with a body length of up to 155 cm, it also includes an optional bed extension for taller individuals.

The Teddy Bed is equipped with:

• Electrically profiling adjustments for backrest, thigh, and knee break


• Height adjustment from 400 mm to 780 mm to assist with caregiving tasks


• Trendelenburg and reverse-Trendelenburg positioning for versatile care settings


• Robust four-segment platform with durable HPL boards


• Easy-to-clean epoxy-coated steel frame for long-term hygiene and durability

Compliant, Safe and Smartly Designed

Meeting the EN 50637:2017 standard, the Teddy Bed addresses key safety issues such as entrapment risks that can arise from using adult beds for children. The design includes:

• New high side rails with smaller gaps and adjusted dimensions for added safety


• Clear patient orientation labelling


• Integrated central braking system for secure mobility


• Four impact-protection bumpers


• Sockets for IV poles and accessory compatibility

It also features mechanical CPR functionality and battery backup, ensuring readiness for emergency scenarios.

A Healing Environment for Children

Children’s surroundings matter – and the Teddy Bed plays an important role in creating a comforting space. With a cheerful, friendly design that includes colourful accents and smiling teddy bear motifs, the bed helps create an environment of trust and reassurance.

Drive DeVilbiss understands the role of thoughtful design in paediatric care, and the Teddy Bed is an example of how clinical function and emotional comfort can work hand in hand.

Part of a Complete Paediatric Offering

The Teddy Bed is a key addition to Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare’s comprehensive paediatric product portfolio. Alongside the Inspiration 2 Cot, which meets the latest EN 50637:2017 paediatric bed safety standards, and the Lullaby Crib, a sturdy and secure crib designed for the care of newborns and infants, Drive DeVilbiss is committed to delivering safe, functional, and emotionally supportive solutions to paediatric care environments.
