Bedside Clearances

Clearance at least 36 inches wide is required on each side of beds. Where more than one bed is provided, this space can overlap. Privacy curtains or screens that can be easily moved out of the way can also overlap this clearance. T-shaped space can be provided within bedside clearances. Turning space (60 inch diameter circle) is recommended between beds to allow additional maneuvering and transfer space.
