Getting in and out of bed should be a simple task, but for those with mobility issues or age-related conditions, this can prove to be challenging.
However, a variety of bedroom aids can bring ease and efficiency back into your everyday routine. Today, Millercare will discuss six mobility aids that can help give you back your independence.
With us, your confidence and comfort will be restored for a great night's sleep every night.
1. Bed Rails
Bed rails are essential for those who require assistance getting in and out of bed.
Their easy-grip design helps pull you out of bed and offers support for manoeuvring out of a lying position. This is beneficial for those who struggle with dizziness or weakness when standing.
Our Aidapt Height Adjustable Bed Cradle is designed for those who suffer from skin irritation or ulcers. This can be adjusted and fitted to the side or end of the bed.
2. Grab Bars
Simple and effective grab bars are great tools supporting those with limited mobility.
These can be placed at the side of your bed and along your bedroom walls to assist you with walking across the room. This prevents the risk of falls and injury, encouraging residents to move around the home with confidence.
Designed with durable materials, grab bars are easy to grip and can be placed onto bed frames for help with settling into bed.
3. Electric Beds
Is your bed hindering your sleep? Or is it causing more difficulty when trying to get in and out of bed?
If so, adjustable mobility beds are the perfect solution. These are controlled by a power button, allowing the top or bottom of the bed to raise and lower based on your needs.
By adjusting the shape of the bed, users can alleviate pressure on sore spots, improve posture, and reduce conditions like acid reflux, snoring, and sleep apnea. This can also assist with getting up or laying down and caters to activities such as reading, writing, or eating in bed.
Our Pride Mobility Retford Adjustable Bed is perfect for those looking to combine comfort with style.
4. Bed Ladders
Bed ladders assist with sitting up in bed.
These are attached to the foot of the bed, featuring various rugs and handles that the user can use to pull themselves up. Not only does this provide better movement, but it can strengthen the arms, legs, and core muscles, helping to build strength.
These are also commonly used by people recovering from surgery. Their lightweight design makes them great for travelling with, and they are budget-friendly, catering to a wide range of individuals.
5. Leg Lifters
Do you struggle with leg mobility? Whether you are suffering from an injury, neurological condition, or recovery from surgery, leg lifters help you lift and position your legs without physical strain.
This consists of a strap with a loop at the end to place your foot in. The sturdy handle allows you to manoeuvre the band, raising your leg onto the bed. By facilitating easier movement of the legs, you can rely less on a caregiver to perform daily tasks.
Leg lifters reduce the risk of injury, beneficial for those struggling with arthritis or wheelchair users. They can also be used to help you sit on chairs or enter a car.
6. Swivel Cushions
Swivel cushions are innovative solutions which combine comfort with mobility assistance.
These are often used by individuals who find it difficult to get in and out of a vehicle. However, they can also be utilised to get in and out of bed easily.
Their rotating feature allows the cushion to spin 360 degrees, enabling individuals to swing their legs out of bed or a car without having to twist their torsos. This significantly reduces strain on the back, hips, and knees.
Their non-slip base provides a sturdy and safe solution to manoeuvring with ease.
