If you have bought a recliner and a lift chair and your family member still can't get comfortable and sleep in them what other options are there?
Home Hospital Bed: Why It’s a Strong Option
A home hospital bed is often the next logical step when standard furniture (recliners, lift chairs, or even adjustable beds) aren’t cutting it — especially for:
- Elderly or chronically ill individuals
- People recovering from surgery or with mobility issues
- Anyone needing positional adjustments beyond what consumer recliners offer
Key Advantages of a Home Hospital Bed
- Fully Adjustable: Head and foot elevation, plus total bed height adjustment.
- Side Rails for Safety: Helpful for fall prevention or repositioning.
- Pressure Relief Mattresses Available: Prevent bed sores or help with chronic pain.
- Ease of Caregiving: Makes assisting someone in bed much easier on family or home nurses.
When It’s Especially Appropriate
- The person needs frequent repositioning due to pressure sores or pain.
- Caregivers are physically struggling to help the person up or down.
- There are medical issues that require sleeping with legs or head elevated precisely.
- The person spends much of the day in bed or has limited mobility.
Alternative if You Don’t Want a “Hospital Look”
There are now home hospital beds with more residential designs — wooden frames, less clinical appearance — which might make the environment feel warmer. Hi-Low beds are the best of this breed.
