Maternity wards in the United States are finally understanding the benefits of re-creating a safe, private, cozy environment for mothers and their newborns. Birthing rooms are turning into comfortable suites, complete with furniture that’s meant to recall the relaxed atmosphere of home. This means that effective hospital furnishings should come in a variety of styles, in order to please everyone from the contemporary urban mom to the traditional Midwestern mother. Medical furniture and equipment company Hill-Rom understands the diverse needs of procreating women. Their Perinatal Environment Furniture caters to mamas, papas, and their fresh progeny, as well as to the healthcare professionals overseeing the new families.

Perinatal Furniture Collection. Manufactured by Hill-Rom.

Maternity Furniture for Homelike Atmosphere

The Perinatal Collection includes a TV/Armoire, newborn bassinet, data management cart, case cart, drop leaf table, glider, and entertainment center. Hill-Rom also manufactures patient beds and sleeper sofas to coordinate with the perinatal furniture. Using “the highest-grade materials available,” Hill-Rom’s Perinatal Furniture features high-grade lumber with a durable HealthCoat wood finish that has a chemical-resistant surface, three-way hinges, and full perimeter bumpers. In an effort to accommodate different tastes, the collection offers various styles and finishes, from the traditional to the contemporary. Despite the distinct decorative touches, the Hill-Rom Perinatal Environment Furniture all has the same underlying strength, durability, and practicality.

For example, the collection’s Perinatal Glider has smooth, continuous, passive motion. Its wide base prevents tipping, and an optional cushion provides added comfort. The Bassinet features a sliding tray and lockable compartment in the top drawer, a chart rack, and trend-like positioning in both directions “for patient comfort and ease of use by the caregiver.” All pieces, including bedside cabinets and drop leaf tables, are available in wood or wood grain laminate in an array of wood tones: natural maple, honey maple, wild cherry, colonial cherry, dark cherry, light oak, medium oak, and Montana walnut.

About the Manufacturer: Since 1929, medical furniture and supply company Hill-Rom has sought “to bring the home into the hospital.” With that goal in mind, the company designs seating, patient beds, surgery beds, bariatric furniture, and hospital casegoods that “enhance the lives of customers and their patients.” A leading medical supplier headquartered in Batesville, Indiana, Hill-Rom sells and leases quality hospital equipment.
