Investing in a great bed is one of the best things you can do for your health. Most of us underestimate how critically important it is to get quality sleep. But for those who are recovering from an illness, have an injury or have other health conditions, being well rested can be even more important.
And what if your condition is one that requires you to spend more than just your sleeping hours in bed? The right bed makes all the difference for the bedridden or those with mobility challenges. With the right bed, it can be easier for you or your loved one to get in and out and move around more freely.
So, what is the best type of bed for those with mobility challenges? You may be surprised to know that a hospital bed may be the best option for you. Hospital beds are not just for health care settings; they can be a great addition to your home, and they can help to improve the quality of your life. These specialty electric beds offer safety and functionality – not to mention maximum comfort!
The following are a few benefits of choosing an electric hospital bed over a regular bed:
They make it easier for caregivers to assist you
A common cause of injury for caregivers is moving their clients or loved ones in and out of their beds since doing so can put them in awkward positions not well-suited for lifting. Hospital beds can make it much safer for caregivers to move you since they can be easily adjusted up and down to help you get in and out of bed more easily.
They can help you find the most comfortable sleep position
Sometimes, finding a comfortable position to sleep in can be a challenge if you have an injury or illness. A hospital bed can be easily adjusted and put in many different positions, making it much more likely that you’ll be able to find a comfortable sleeping position.
Age in place
Most of us would prefer to stay in our own homes rather than move to a nursing home or other healthcare setting. Having a hospital bed in your home can allow you to stay at home for as long as possible, even if you are dealing with an illness or have mobility concerns.
Added safety
Hospital beds are designed to provide added safety to their users. In addition to being easier than a regular bed to get in and out of, they have side rails to protect you from falling out of bed. These rails are also sturdy enough to hold onto while adjusting yourself and getting comfortable.
