Look at the rating plate, see how many kW it is and do the sums.  Bear in mind that it may not use full power all the time.  What exactly does it do?  If it's a glorified electric blanket it's unlikely to use more than about 150W, which at 15p/kWh would work out at a maxmimum of £3.78 per week.

Generally quite a few motors which are used infrequently ;  have you also got an air bed to prevent bed sores.?  My MIL had one and I can't say we noticed anything particularly expensive to run.

Does it have an alternating cell air mattress?  (designed to prevent pressure / bed sores)
