Why a Hospital Bed is Essential
A proper hospital bed provides benefits that go far beyond regular household furniture:
Safety & positioning – Adjustable height and side rails reduce fall risks.
Caregiver support – Raise the bed to protect caregivers’ backs during transfers and care tasks.
Faster recovery – Proper positioning improves breathing, circulation, and sleep quality.
Comfort & independence – Patients can adjust their position with minimal help.
