Types of overbed table
Overbed tables come in a few different styles, each suited to slightly different needs and spaces.

Comfort, range and independence

Easily raise or lower the table to suit your bed, chair or wheelchair, and find the most comfortable working height.

A tilting tabletop makes it easier to read, write or use a tablet at a comfortable angle.
Easy to move
Smooth-gliding castors let you position the table exactly where you need it, then move it out of the way when you're done.

Buying guide
How to choose the right overbed table
A few quick checks will help you find a table that fits your bed or chair and suits how you plan to use it.
1
Check the clearance
Measure the height and width under your bed or chair to make sure the table's base will slide underneath comfortably.
2
Choose your base type
A C-shaped cantilever base slides under most beds and chairs, while a wider H-base can offer extra stability if the table won't need to slide underneath.
3
Think about how you'll use it
Consider whether you'll mainly be eating, reading, writing or using a laptop, as this can affect the tabletop size and tilt function you need.
4
Look for adjustability
Height-adjustable and tilting tables offer the most flexibility for different positions and users.

Common questions
Overbed tables: your questions answered
Answers to some of the questions we're asked most often about overbed tables.
What is an overbed table used for?
Overbed tables provide a stable surface for eating, reading, writing or using a laptop while sitting up in bed or a chair.
Will an overbed table fit under my bed?
Most overbed tables have a C-shaped base designed to slide under a bed or chair, but it's worth checking the base height and width against your bed frame's clearance before ordering.
Can overbed tables be used with a chair as well as a bed?
Yes, most overbed tables are designed to work equally well with a bed, armchair or wheelchair, thanks to their adjustable height and sliding base.
Are overbed tables height adjustable?
Most models offer adjustable height, and many also have a tilting top, so you can set the table at the angle and level that suits you best.
How do I clean an overbed table?
Most tabletops have a wipe-clean surface, so a damp cloth and mild cleaner is usually all that's needed. Avoid abrasive cleaning products, which can damage the finish.
