Electric hospital beds have made a huge impact in the way patients with mobility problems have found comfort and independence. Whether they’ve had surgery, are recovering from an accident or illness, their ability to move may be greatly compromised. An electrical hospital bed not only provides improved quality of life and comfort, but also provides an invaluable aid for both the individual and those caring for them.
There are many benefits to owning an electric hospital bed. Here are a few more:
· Superior neck and back support
· Promotes better blood circulation
· Helps prevent acid reflux, or heartburn by raising the head of the bed
· Side rails, which not only helps prevent falls, but aids an individual in getting in and out of bed
· Adjustable height, an indispensible feature for people confined to a wheel chair, or with limited mobility
· Easy to move - Most hospital grade electric beds are on wheels
· Musculoskeletal - Muscles and bones receive more added comfort when someone is resting on an electric adjustable bed
It’s quite clear that electric hospital beds have many more health benefits than a standard bed and mattress. Although they might be more expensive, comfort and a good nights rest are priceless.
