In the maryland code of regulations 10.07.02.28 D
1) each patient shall be provided with his own bed which shall be at least 36 inches
wide, be substantially constructed and in good repair. Rollaway type beds, cots or
folding beds may not be used.
2) each bed shall be provided with satisfactory type springs in good repair, and a
clean comfortable mattress, standard size for the bed.
I think the second item might be a problem if your state has similar regulations
