Have you heard about an adjustable height bed? You should be aware that this type of bed is beneficial to elderly, disabled, women's clinic and most especially people with mobility problem.
  This is because this type of bed can help relieve lower back pains and other health problems due to uncomfortable sleeping positions.
This bed can be adjusted manually or electrically.
With this bed, you have the freedom to change the shape of the bed as well as the height of the bed.
Thus, this bed will allow you to choose the most appropriate height for transfers and to select the most appropriate height to assist the user.
  With this bed, you have the freedom to adjust the bed into a position that is comfortable for you.
For example, you can change the bed into a sitting position.
You can also pull on a strategically positioned grab rail or lifting pole, thus the user can be able to take some of their body weight in order to raise themselves several centimeters from the bed.
This will help them move their bottom to the edge of the bed.
Thereby, it is easier for them to stand up.
  But, care should be taken in positioning this type of bed.
There should be no wall-mounted obstruction that can prevent the bed from moving vertically.
Care should also be taken that nothing can be trapped underneath the bed when it is lowered.
This is because adjustable height bed will not stop automatically if there is an object underneath.
And this can be risky as this can lead to entrapment.
  For manually operated bed, keep in mind that the user cannot operate this.
This type of bed works with a hydraulic mechanism, which allows you to raise and lower the bed.
But its control is usually a foot pump that is located at the side of the bed or a winding handle.
And the pumping and winding are hard work for some people and this can give the user a jerky ride.
And this bed should not be positioned against the wall, so as to ensure that the pedal or handle is on the accessible side.
  But if you have the electric type of adjustable height bed, then you are in luck as this bed can be controlled by the user.
With this bed, the user can select the most suitable height in order for them to get in or out of the bed.
And they can sometimes do this with little or no assistance.
This type of bed can be controlled with a handset, which can have either two separate switches or a rocker switch.
And there are also other controls like a remote control or even voice operated control.
And the best thing is that most types of this bed are quiet or are almost silent even though this is powered by a motor.
But the disadvantage of adjustable height bed is that it can be a little expensive for some people.
