Comfort and safety in your bedroom
17 Feb 2024
We all know that a good night’s sleep makes us feel better and reinvigorated for whatever lies ahead in our day, but why do people still struggle with their mobility in using this space in the home and what can help us to make life easier and more comfortable, and safe?
Of course, there are many aids that have been developed to make every room in the home safer and offering practical help in terms of balance and mobility, but it still leaves the homeowner with many choices and sometimes there is simply not the awareness of the mobility help that is available for the bedroom.
Actually getting in and out of bed can be a big problem for some of us, as the act of bearing weight and transferring this gently to the bed and getting in a sleeping position can be challenging.
Bed grab rails can make this action much easier, comfortable and safer.
Bed grab rails come in a wide range of models and configurations, but all of them offer an easy-to-fit solution that can offer peace of mind, balance and coordination to the user, so aiding a worry-free and restful sleep.
The safety aspect of bed grab rails is an important factor, as bed rails give that reassurance that balance can be maintained at all times, so negating the possibility of slips or falls, which account for many accidents in the bedroom.
This potential is further amplified, if the bedroom has a wooden or tiled floor where there is a much higher chance of injury and broken bones if a fall should unfortunately happen.
Bed grab rails fit close to the bed and enable the user to put their weight on the grab rail and steady themselves with ease and comfort.
With a firm hand grip achieved, it means that any transfer of weight and any twisting movement, can happen without over-balancing and losing the centre of gravity.
Similarly, bed raisers can also be an invaluable addition to any bedroom where accessibility needs to be improved and the experience for the bed user easy and less of a strain.
Bed raisers, as the name suggests, raise up the height of the bed, so that it’s much easier to enter the bed, or raise from it after sleep, as the additional height means a shorter distance to bend or to lift up from.
Bed raisers can make the whole experience of going to bed easier and much more than that safer, in that any possibility of back or leg strain are greatly reduced.
Bed raisers can help people who have mild or more pronounced disability and it also makes tasks for their carers easier and promoting greater dignity for the person being cared for.
Many people like to read, watch TV, or even do light hobbies when in their beds, but sometimes this can result in things like books or TV remotes going missing or getting lost amongst the covers and sheets.
Bed tables are so useful and can help greatly in making these items easy to access and neat and tidy all in one place.
Bed tables simply fit over the mid-section of the bed, so allowing for easy reach of all of your personal items when you need them. They can be adjusted to allow for personal taste and they are also ideal for holding items for hydration or nutrition so that they are close to hand and more likely to be used.
Both lightweight and durable, bed tables are easy to assemble and fit on to the bed as and when needed and are portable and foldable when not in use.
Bed tables offer true versatility in use, as they can be easily adjusted into various positions allowing for the ideal angle for reading, using a phone, or carrying out any other activity that needs a steady and reliable support.
The products featured are just a few of the many bedroom aids that are available to make your life easier and more comfortable in the bedroom.
We hope this gives you a few ideas for yourself, or maybe for a friend or relative that you know may need a little extra help and support in these areas.
