Adjustable Over-Chair and Over-Bed Tables for Care Homes

A well‑designed over‑bed table does more than hold a cup of tea. It provides residents with independence and comfort. An over‑bed table allows residents to eat comfortably if they are immobile or undergoing treatment. This style of table can help them pursue hobbies, read books and maintain a sense of dignity in their own space, without needing support for every task. 


Carefully designed in robust materials with easy-clean finishes, the flat-tops with twin edges prevents dishes and drinks from sliding off the table onto a resident and keeps books and other materials from dropping to the floor. It is suitable for reading, eating and enjoying hobbies.

Adjustable Overbed Tables Designed for Care Environments

Over-bed tables are a staple piece of furniture in a care home. They improve how staff can help residents handle day‑to‑day tasks. Over-bed tables often come with casters and adjustable heights, meaning they can easily slide under or be removed from the room.  Depending on your bed type, there are a variety of over-bed tables to suit your care home needs. Popular ones have casters and adjustable heights. Our budget options include fixed feet.

Overbed & Overchair Tabels

Are overbed and overchair tables easy to clean and infection-control compliant?

Yes, at Furncare, we provide hygiene finishes on our products to ensure they can be easily wiped, cleaned, and maintained with minimal opportunities for infection. We have tested our products in our facilities with countless products and cleaning agents to test each surface and material type to be compliant with residential care home requirements.

Can I order overbed tables in bulk for a care home refurbishment?

Yes. We would welcome the opportunity to supply a bulk contract-grade order of over-bed tables and over-chair tables for your care home setting. Great care is taken to ensure our products meet contract-grade standards and are delivered within the agreed lead time of six to eight weeks. Our range of complementary products includes Care Home Chairs, Care Home Sofas & Armchairs.

What is the difference between an overbed table and an overchair table?

The principal difference is where each is used. One is used to go over a bed; the other is to go over the arm of a chair. Both serve a practical purpose: allowing independent activities such as eating, drinking, jigsaws, writing, etc.

Over the bed, the table slides under the bed and over the bulk of the resident; typically, almost three-quarters of a single bed will be covered by the table.

The overchair table also provides excellent coverage; they tend to be lighter and have a shallower bottom foot, as this needs to slide under the edge profile of the chair.

Do the overbed tables have castors?

Yes. Our height‑adjustable over‑bed tables are compatible with profiling and adjustable care head loads. The adjustable leg frames allow the table height to be lowered below the seat, and we also provide casters on several of our models to ensure they move easily over surfaces and are as accessible as possible.

What is an overbed table used for in a care home?

An over‑bed table is a height‑adjustable table designed to slide over a resident's bed, allowing them to eat meals, drink, read, write, and engage in other activities from the comfort of their bed. In a care home setting, these are essential for residents with limited mobility, and they provide opportunities for independent activities.
