What is the difference between an overbed table and a mobility table on wheels?

An overbed table is specifically designed to slide over a bed and provide a stable surface for users who remain lying or seated. A mobility table on wheels, however, is more versatile and can be moved around the room or used next to chairs, sofas or wheelchairs.

 Can mobility tables be adjusted in height?

Many mobility tables include an adjustable height mechanism, allowing the table to be used comfortably from different seating positions or even while standing. This is especially useful for ergonomic support and accessibility.

Are mobility tables easy to move between rooms?

Yes. Most mobility tables are lightweight and include smooth-rolling wheels, making it easy to move them between rooms without lifting. Lockable castors are often included for added safety once positioned.

What weight can a typical mobility table support?

Weight capacity varies by model, but most mobility tables can support between 10–25 kg. Overbed tables and heavier-duty models may hold more. Always check the manufacturer’s specifications for safe use.

What accessories can be added to a mobility table for extra convenience?

Popular accessories include storage baskets, cup holders, cable organisers, protective mats or side trays. These additions help keep essential items within easy reach and improve everyday convenience.
